OEM does autodiscover based on what method of networking you told it to used when you configured autodiscovery: Names Server, tnsnames.ora, or directory server. We use tnsnames.ora and OEM looks to see what the SID names are in tnsnames.ora for sure. It may do this in conjunction with the oratab file as well.
What method did you tell OEM you were using for networking? The OEM documentation has a fairly comprehensive section on autodiscovery in the section on setting up the Console.

I'm pretty sure OEM looks at that to determine what instances the Agent should monitor. I could be wrong on this though - it's been a while since I've looked at OEM.

I am trying to refresh a node in order to get information of all instances on that machine. I am able to see two of three instances. Why I cannot see all of them. Setting up the preferences are ok, I have tested all user-id's and passwords.
