Oracle® Enterprise Manager Administration 10g Release 5 (10.2.0.5)
Overview
After upgrading a
10.2.0.1
EM Agent to
10.2.0.5
, I got timezone errors in the
emagent.trc
file. I used
emctl resetTZ agent
to fix the problem.
Analysis
Contents of emagent.trc
The log,

showed the following errors when I tries to start the agent after applying patch,

(Grid Control 10.2.0.5), to the OMA:

Agent Resynchronization on OEM
The Grid Control page for the agent says that the OMA is blocked and requires resynchronization:
Agent is blocked. Blocked reason is: Agent is out-of-sync with repository. 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.
