Problem description:-
Recently for a customer we had performed a DR Drill . The customer had OEM agent installed in all oracle database server . Now after the drill was successful there was a requirement to restore one of the server from VM snapshot backup which was taken before the drill. Now after restoration of that vm , the OEM agent for that target was showing status as ‘Diagnose for Agent Blocked (Bounce Counter Mismatch)’
Solution:-
To resolve this problem , we did the following.
Logged into target DB server where agent status was showing as follows
| E:\Agent13c\agent_inst\agent_13.5.0.0.0\bin>emctl status agent Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 5 Copyright (c) 1996, 2021 Oracle Corporation.

This most likely means that the agent was reinstalled or recovered. Please contact an EM administrator to unblock the agent by performing an agent resync from the console.

As we can see the Hearbeat status is showing “Agent is Blocked” and reason behind block is agent is out of sync with its repository.
To resolve this problem, We logged into OMS Server and executed following
| E:\>cd E:\u01\app\middleware\bin E:\u01\app\middleware\bin>set OMS_HOME=E:\u01\app\middleware E:\u01\app\middleware\bin>SET JAVA_HOME=E:\u01\app\agent\agent_13.5.0.0.0\oracle_common\jdk E:\u01\app\middleware\bin>SET ORACLE_HOME=E:\u01\app\middleware E:\u01\app\middleware\bin>emcli login -username=sysman Enter password : Login successful E:\u01\app\middleware\bin>emcli sync Synchronized successfully E:\u01\app\middleware\bin>emcli resyncAgent -agent=WMDR.com:3872 Resync job RESYNC_20240513083609008 successfully submitted |
After a while, when we checked the oem hearbeat status was showing OK.
