Hi,

 

We are not able to connect to RAC instance unless we stop the listener
using svrctl command and restart it again using lsnrctl command, 

Do I need to add anything in tnsnames.ora files since out listener name
is listener_dev-rhas2 and not listener?

 

$ srvctl status nodeapps -n dev-rhas2
VIP is running on node: dev-rhas2
GSD is running on node: dev-rhas2
Listener is running on node: dev-rhas2
ONS daemon is running on node: dev-rhas2
-bash-3.00$ lsnrctl status

Following is entry in tnsnames.ora:

ERROR:
ORA-12516: TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching
protocol
stack

This only works If i stop the listener using svrctl then start the
listener with lsnrctl start.

 

srvctl stop listener -n dev-rhas2

lsnrctl start
