problem running RMA for Linux after configuration

Yeah, I am sorry I forgot to mention that. I already did that but cannot see anything started. Here is the output :

[82]smmk192(dev1):..me/dba_admin/HostMonRMA> ps -A | grep rma

(I do not get anything back).
Thanks.

It means some other application uses the same port. I think, you should try to specify another port number. By default is used 1055, so, you may try 1058, 1126, 3322, etc. Port number is specified in rma.ini file.

Max,

I have changed the port number in the rma.ini file, but still the same error. I have even emailed the rma.ini file (Before the port number change) to support@ks-soft.net.

[85]smmk192(dev1):..me/dba_admin/HostMonRMA> ./rma -i /orahome/dba_admin/HostMonRMA/rma.ini

What exact *nix system do you use? Probably you need another param for command ps to show all processes. Try to read manual, just type "man ps" in console to find it out and replace param "-A' of command ps with appropriate param according to your system. I'm sure you will see another instance of rma running.

We are using Sun OS 5.8. I did a "man ps" and this is a portion of the output

OPTIONS
The following options are supported:

- a Lists information about all processes most frequently
requested: all those except process group leaders and
processes not associated with a terminal.

-A Lists information for all processes. Identical to -e,
below.

Thanks.

So, when you type "ps -A" or "ps -a" or "ps -e", you are unable to find rma process, right? Hm. Do you use root account to install and configure rma?

No, I am not using root. I am using oracle user account.

Could you try to configure rma using root account? It might help.

The system administrator tried the script as root and he is also getting the same error. Please help.

Thanks.

So, are you sure there are no ane other software, that uses the same port, you have specified in rma.ini? Could you ask the system administrator to open RMA port on firewall?
As I can see from your rma.ini, you have specified 1055 as port number? Could ou try to change it to any other? 10.33.68.68 - is it the IP address of machine, where RMA is running? Also I would recommend you to set TmpDir as /tmp, e.g. TmpDir=/tmp

Hi,

Previously I had also changed port 1055 to 1058 but still no change. 10.33.68.68 is the IP address of the machine where the Windows version of HostMonitor server software is running and has RMA Manager.

Thanks.

Here is an issue. In rma.ini you should specify IP address of host were RMA is running (your Solaris machine IP) as Host. That why rma is unable to create the socket and getting the socket() or bind() error. Please, change the Host setting in rma.ini file.

Max

Alex, I am confused. This is the current configuration. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I have a Windows system where I installed Advanced Host Monitor and I have RMA manager running in that same machine (10.33.68.68)

I have a Solaris system that has an Oracle database running and I want to monitor some parameters of the database from the Windows system (10.33.68.68). Now I am confused what to specify as Host - RMA Manager (10.33.68.68) or machine where agent is going to run.

Thanks.

As I can see from your rma.ini, Host=10.33.68.68

As Host you should specify IP address of machine where RM agent is running (Solaris). Address of Windows machine (where HostMonitor and RMA Manager is rinning) you should specify in IncomeFilter and RemoteManagment sections.
Please read INSTALL file carefully.

Now I am confused what to specify as Host - RMA Manager (10.33.68.6 or machine where agent is going to run.

You may simply keep "Host" parameter empty and "FilterActive=0". Change these parameters when you understand what it means
Quote from the manual

HOST - OPTIONAL parameter that defines host name or IP address of the LOCAL network interface (RMA should listen on).
