Sometimes , you may install the 10g OEM GRID agent before you actually create a new database or you may add a new database to an existing box.
This new database will have to be discovered by GRID CONTROL.
I created a database called test on a box which already had a Grid agent running on it.
This database has to be discovered by the agent and it’s details uploaded to the GRID.
Make sure the ORAINVENTORY location in /etc/oraInst.loc matches the location when you installed the AGENT.
Go to the new AGENT_HOME/bin and issue command agentca- d
test:/u01/ofsap/agent10g/bin> ./agentca -d

Now login to the database as sys, unlock the dbsnmp user and also change
the password of dbsnmp user – for example to temp.
Login to the GRID , and click on targets – choose the new box and then the
new database and configure the dbsmp user .
Once this is complete, the GRID screen will show both the agent and
database on the targets page.
