emctl clearstate with agent down.
We had a few targets that had alert log alerts stuck within Grid and would not clear, despite that the errors had been remedied and after over 24 hours.
I stopped the agent then issued clearstate then restarted and fine - all cleared.
However, in the book Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Handbook, we are told:
"never issue a clearstate command when the Agent is down" If it is not up and running when the command is issued the state of the targets will not be reset".
This does not reflect my experience.
Does anyone have thoughts on this?
Thanks,
DA.
