Or is there a way i can connect to it directly from the aix server? Emctl is started on the aix machine but i dont how to get to a web browser on my aix machine thats why i'm trying to use another system to connect to it.

NB pls note that HMC is what i first see when i start up my aix machine. how to i get to a browser from there? is there any?

thanks in advance.

Obvious questions first:
1) Have you verified that the OEM service is running on the LPAR?
a) Check for the process to see if it is running
b) Telenet to the port to see if it is listening
# If either of those fail, then there is problem #1

2) Do you have access from a PC with a web browser to the server?
3) If not, have you installed a browser? Google is your friend on this

Also, check with your friendly local DBA about the Oracle stuff, and you may also want to check with your management about whether you have an IBM support contract. They are very good at helping you out.

Thanks,

thanks for responding brobert,

but sorry, what do u mean by is it running on LPAR? i typed '#emctl start dbconsole' on my aix machine and i was started. Or where do u say i should check for the processes to see if its running?(on windows i type services.msc on comman prompt) is there a way like that on aix? and please how do i telnet to the port to see if its listening?

i have a pc(windows xp) that has a web browser but it doesnt connect to the server but it can connect to other systems.

thanks in advance.
