Hi,

When running the AgentConfig utility please confirm if you are logged in as ROOT account on the Oracle server. There are two parts in the AgentConfig 

Step 1. Configure database access - In this enter the Linux user (named 'Oracle' on most of the setups), which has access to the oracle binaries

Step 2: Configure Oracle instance information - Select the instance PROD and use SYS account and try it again. In case you are running Oracle 12c do not use SYS account. You need to use an account that has only the SYSBACKUP role. There is user named SYSBACKUP or you can create one and grant only SYSBACKUP role.

If you still run in to the same error. Please debug the Agent configuration provide the debug log. You can refer the following technote
