I'm on a virtual linux box trying to configure dbcontrol.
I get the following messages.  What needs to be done to allow Oracle to allocate the ports?

Is the following working?

telnet <hostname> <port>

See if this posting is hels you.

In simple, please check the following:

1. hostname in /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network and /proc/sys/kernel/hostname are all same
2. check the /etc/sysctl.conf file and check if contains following line:
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000

Oracle support has had me to change /etc/hosts same as google hits advise. After change no difference.
Now they ask me to send the log files from  $ORACLE_HOME/machine_name_instance_name/sysman/log
Problem is, there is no  $ORACLE_HOME/machine_name_instance_name.  That directory is created when we run the -repos create on emca,, but emca is saying it refuses to execute because i cannot communicate to and from outside.

Must have something to do with the fact this is a VMWare VM running x86-64 rather than a real machine.
Commented:
The machine had been cloned and an entirely inappropriate set of addresses had been left unchanged.

When I tried to ping the machine and instance from the machine itself nothing ever returned.  I informed someone who worked with the sa.  When he looked he saw the addresses were incorrect.
