Failing to install an Oracle Audit Vault agent on a VM Server host

user1167443Jun 2 2016 — edited Jun 9 2016

Hello

I installed a new Audit Server(12.1.2)  on a x3-2 server . I configured it accordingly. The secured targets are on SPARC servers running Solaris 10/Oracle DB 11g and VM Servers running SUSE Linux/Oracle DB11g.

I managed to install the agent on the SPARC Servers and set up the Audit trail.

On the VM servers, I am failing to install the agent. I get the error message when I try and install the agent

$ java -jar agent.jar -d /AV_HOME

Agent host is not registered

Agent host must be registered before an agent can be installed or upgraded

The server is registered.

I have tried all suggested solutions of a multi-homed host to no avail.

avcli> register host asywtraining with ip 10.16. 64.112

and tried to install agent. Same error:

Agent is not registered.

Agent host must be registered before an agent can be installed or upgraded. Agent deployment failed.

From the host, after adding dbfwdb details in tnsnames.ora

$ sqlplus avadmin/password@dbfwdb

sqlplus>select sys_context(‘userenv’,’ip_address’) from dual;

SYS_CONTEXT(`USERENV`,`IP_ADDRESS`)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.16.64.112

I can tnsping dbfwdb from the host.


I am wondering if there is something I need to take special care off on a virtual machine. The VM is VMware vSphere 5 Enterprise Plus, on Intel Xeon CPU E7-8837


Please help


Regards
