Discover nodes in Enterprise Manager 9.2

[Vijay]

Hi,
I'm running 2 databases ( Oracle 9iR2 Enterprise Edition), one on
Windows 2000 machine and another on Windows XP. Both databases have the
same name(DB_NAME,INSTANCE_NAME, SID are the same).

I'm running Oracle Enterprise Manager intelligent agent on both
nodes. Now, when I try to 'Discover nodes' through OEM, I'm able to
discover one node. When I try to discover the other node,the discovery
fails with message "Targets with same name have already been
discovered".

I checked all the documentation but could not find out the reason.
Can someone help?

Thanks.

Actually you have answered your own question already.

Both databases have thesame name(DB_NAME,INSTANCE_NAME, SID are the same).

Bingo!!!

Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to create a Data Guard Configuration,
before which I'm asked to 'Discover Nodes' in which my 'primary' and
'secondary' databases are located.

Since it is a standby database, the name, SID everything is the same
as the primary database. I do not see any restriction in Oracle
Documentation stating 'primary' and 'secondary' database cannot have
the same name. Then, why is such a restriction imposed by Oracle
Enterprise Manager?

Sybrand,
Resolved. Just changed the global_db_name in the listener.ora file
of the 'standby' node. Now, OEM could 'discover' the node.

thanks for trying to help.
