OPs Centre Agent Configuration Failure (EC 12C R4, solaris 11.4)

Hi there.
Im experiencing and issue deploying the OPs Centre agent to one of my IO Domain hosts. The Agent does install but fails on configurations with the following
#######
executing step : scn_agent
scn_agent Common Agent Container environment is OK
Configuring for a Virtualization Controller
Checking if the cacao scn-agent instance exists
creating cacao scn-agent instance
Unexpected return code [1] from command: [/usr/sbin/svcadm refresh -s svc:/application/management/common-agent-container-1:scn-agent].
Cannot register SMF service for instance: [scn-agent].
cannot create instance <scn-agent>
#######
When i look in to things a little i see the svc:/system/sp/management:default service is in maintenance mode.
# svcs -xv svc:/system/sp/management:default
svc:/system/sp/management:default (Oracle Server Hardware Management Agent)
State: maintenance since Tue Mar 10 09:13:30 2020
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last died on Killed (9).
See: http://support.oracle.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
See: http://docs.sun.com
See: /var/svc/log/system-sp-management:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.
The log file shows
"Could not open bmc device: Resource temporarily unavailable"
Now, interestingly enough, any interaction with the SP results in and error
eg
# ipmitool -I bmc lan print
Could not open bmc device: Resource temporarily unavailable
Unable to connect on interface bmc
My other servers (with IODomains on) are fine, just this one seems to error. Any suggestions as im a little lost
Thanks

I would reset the system controller to start off with. You can do that while the OS runs without any impact. The command I usually run follows, but use the one appropriate to your machine:
> reset /SP
The next thing to do is to update your OCDoctor to the latest version. A new version of OCDoctor (4.71) is now available for download, but it will not update automatically because of a couple bugs.
To download for new installations:
https://updates.oracle.com/OCDoctor/OCDoctor-latest.zip
or existing installations, run:
# /var/opt/sun/xvm/OCDoctor/OCDoctor.sh --update
Note: If upgrading from v4.70 or earlier, due to bug 30652751, the --update option will not work over https. The workaround is to download OCDoctor-latest.zip to /var/tmp using a browser or wget. The following example commands show a typical update using the download:
# cd /var/opt/sun/xvm/OCDoctor
# ./OCDoctor.sh --update --file /var/tmp/OCDoctor-latest.zip
Once you have the latest OCDoctor, then check your system with:
# OCDoctor.sh --agent-prereq [--force]
That should tell you what needs to be done for your agent to install. If nothing there works or helps you figure it out, then open a SR.
If this helps you solve the issue, please mark it that way. We appreciate it.
Thanks, Ted

Hi there. Sorry for the delay replying.
yeah, we did reset the Sp but to no avail so a ticket is now open with Oracle.
Thanks for the response.
Cheers
