ERROR: Unable to start XPL TraceServer daemon

basepath=`${OVCSL_OV_ROOT}/bin/ovpath -datadir -`

-Wrong plaform for Solaris; there are 2 possible cpu platform: x86 and SPARC

Fix

Verify agent is for right platform, using following repository directories on OMU 8.x Management Server:

X86   --> /var/opt/OV/share/databases/OpC/mgd_node/vendor/sun/x86

sparc -->/var/opt/OV/share/databases/OpC/mgd_node/vendor/sun/sparc
