Agent Issue :: emctl.log: Read-only file system -- Cannot start agent!

644317Nov 30 2008 — edited Apr 20 2013

Hi all,

We have got three different databases within the same server.

Within the grid control, it mentions that the agent is unreachable this makes my days turn into a firefighter.

oracle@sxlprdb05[agent]:/db/oracle/agent10g: emctl start agent
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 4 Grid Control 10.2.0.4.0.
Copyright (c) 1996, 2007 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Unable to open file for logging. /db/oracle/agent10g/sysman/log/emctl.log: Read-only file system
Error in tempfile() using /db/oracle/agent10g/XXXXXXXXXX: Could not create temp file /db/oracle/agent10g/FJKm208CJ1: Read-only file system at /db/oracle/agent10g/bin/AgentLifeCycle.pm line 111

Any clue on why this happens?

oracle@sxlprdb05[agent]:/db/oracle/10.2.0.1/db_1: emctl status agent
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 4 Grid Control 10.2.0.4.0.

I cannot query for status or start agent
regards
Susan John
