How to Resolve OEM Agent ‘Availability Evaluation Error’

The following commands helped a client to resolve OEM agent “Availability Evaluation Error”. Just run them in sequence until the issue is resolved.

$ ping omshost
$ nslookup omshost
$ emctl pingOMS
$ emctl config agent addinternaltargets
$ emctl secure agent
$ emctl config agent listtargets
$ emctl clearstate agent

$ emctl upload agent
$ emctl reload agent

The agent should show UP now, otherwise continues the following steps:

$ emctl stop agent

$ emctl reload agent

$ emctl pingOMS 
$ emctl status agent

timed out waiting for input: auto-logout

The connections to Linux server got disconnected with message “timed out waiting for input: auto-logout”.

It is an unhappy thing when you are run some kind of long running scripts or database SQLs.

The issue is coming from the variable ‘TMOUT’ in Linux environment.

$  cat /etc/profile.d/autologout.sh
export TMOUT=36000

$ grep TMOUT /etc/profile
TMOUT=14400

$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash


$ cat /etc/bashrc|grep  TMOUT
TMOUT=3600

If you want to disable timeout, then reset variable TMOUT=0

$ export TMOUT=0

How to Reinstall and Configure OEM Cloud Control 13c Central Agent 

For some reason, a client has to reinstall OEM central agents in a multi-OMS Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control environment. Certainly the agent has been installed on the same server as the OMS.

First keep a record of the plugins deployed onto the agent already.

$emctl listplugins agent

Then uninstall the agent cleanly as per How to Deinstall OEM Agents in Oracle Enterprise Manager 13C

The next is to install the agent with required plugins deployed.

Now we need discover all WebLogic Domain targes based on the following instructions, and then all those targets will be monitored by the central agent.

AFD protects from unauthorized processes over write to the asm claimed disks
in raw disk environment which is not applicable to exadata disks (non-oracle processes could not recognize / write to exadata disks).

so the message “FD-0654: AFD is not supported on Exadata systems” in alert.log can be ignored.
