I don't have the luxury of changing the architecture already in place. They way it was set up in advance was to have a separate oracle home for each VIP and a separate Agent for each VIP. I'm trying to work within the same architecture. Given that architecture, don't I need a unique port # assigned to each agent?

BTW I did search Metalink before my OP and didn't find anything addressing my specific architecture. The closest thing I found was doc # 358637.1 - Agent Deployment Best Practices. The document only addresses RAC clusters. Received on Tue May 16 2006 - 08:58:02 CDT
