One (1) target warning message on gridctrl related to performance.
Guess what? AWR is not installed in the emrep database. Used @?/rdbms/admin/catawr to install AWR, and I installed StatsPack at the same time.
The other seven (7) all relate to the issue identified in Grid Control (11).
This does not make sense. Something is wrong here.
I checked the logs outside of Grid Control by browsing $ORACLE_HOME/OracleHomes/oms10g/Apache/Apache/logs/error_log.1212710400, and found many errors like the following:
[Fri Jun 6 21:54:28 2008] [error] [client 192.168.0.202] [ecid: 1212753268:192.168.0.200:3367:0:872,0] client denied by server configuration: /em/upload/
It would appear that rmancat (192.168.0.202) is trying to upload data to gridctrl but is being refused permission to do so.
On rmancat,

Agent is Running and Ready
The solution is in Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration (Appendix A). The clue is that I was trying to run the agent unsecured across a network. To fix this,
$ emctl secure agent pw

Agent is Running and Ready
And rmancat appears in the list of targets on Grid Control. This fixes the problem described in RMANCAT (1) (I think).
