The error message in emoms.log is:

A search of My Oracle Support reveals: Nothing.
Could ping and ssh from GRIDCTRL to VICTORIA and vice verse.
iptables had no policies active on either node.
To avoid any issues with routing, I decided to move VICTORIA from 192.168.3.0/24 subnet to 192.168.1.0/24 one.
I changed the IP Address from 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.1.100, and subnet 192.168.3.0 to 192.168.1.0 in the following files:
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
/etc/hosts
Then I did:
service network restart
I repeated the procedure in 04 Finish OEM Virtualisation Intallation with the new address for the OVM Agent, and got the same error.
