Add/Configure a newly created ASM Instance into Enterprise Manager. When a non ASM database is migrated to ASM storage the dbcontrol (Oracle Enterprise Manager) may not discover the newly created ASM instance and does not display anything for the ASM instance on its home page.
Please see the screen shot below which was taken after installing the ASM instance and migrating database to ASM storage. Now we need to add this newly created ASM instance as a target to the Enterprise Manager agent. Now run the following command to add this new target to EM targets. $ emctl config agent addtarget \ > $ORACLE_HOME/ora10.home.com_ora10g/sysman/emd/asmTarget.xml TZ set to US/Eastern Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.2.0.1.0 Copyright (c) 1996, 2005 Oracle Corporation.

Once again proving my incompetence but also showing how I dug myself out of a hole. I had been trying to build a standby database on cooked filesystem as a single-instance from a RAC cluster on ASM.
