Re: Oracle 10g Install - Cannot start Enterprise Manager

This is covered in some metalink notes quite well. If I recall correctly, on LINUX the part between two '_'s (underscores) is what your emctl thinks is the hostname, e.g. on windows in your case is it: "n2k.test.com"? I'm not sure about two '_'s on windows, but we can easily discern the hostname part.

Therefore,lets say your hostname is expected to be "n2k.test.com". If you cd to the oracle home, apparently c:\...\Db_2, then you probably do not have that exact directory (resulting from DBCA EM installation). If you have something close, then you might 'tweak' the hosts file as a quick fix to match things up. This is not the 'approved' solution, but it may work quickly.

I believe the approved solution is to use netca to configure the networking before installing w/DBCA. I have not worked out all the details myself, and in what situations I get this typical error, but it should be a fairly obvious fix with metalink research.

Metalink also has the commands to drop local EM and then you can use DBCA to reinstall painlessly. Good luck. HTH.
