Hi, List, Lately I installed a 10.2.0.5 agent on an 11.2.0.2 RAC cluster, all discovered targets showed up fine in grid control except the ASM instances, which showed up as "unknown" in grid control. Looking at the agent.trc file, I found this: SQL = " OCISessionBegin"... LOGIN = asmsnmp/<PW>@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=MyHostName.com)(Port=MyPortNumber))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=+ASM1)(INSTANCE_NAME=+ASM1)(UR=A))) 2010-12-15 14:46:33,208 Thread-1106266432 ERROR vpxoci: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied However, I made sure the username/password are valid and I didn't fat fingered it. I was able to use the same username/password to do a bequeath connection to the ASM instance just fine. I opened a case with oracle support and no surprise I haven't got much help so I figured I'd turn to you guys for help! :) Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
