When you want to administrate listeners with srvctl (oracle restart), then your listeners have to be created in the grid infrastructure home (there should be a mos note about that). About the virtual ip's, I know you can add application vip's, but I'm not sure if you can configure a listener on top of that http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16794/crschp.htm#CWADD91298 Freek D'Hooge Uptime Oracle Database Administrator email: freek.dhooge@xxxxxxxxx tel +32(0)3 451 23 82 http://www.uptime.be disclaimer: www.uptime.be/disclaimer -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stefano Cislaghi Sent: dinsdag 10 mei 2011 17:58 To: Oracle L Subject: Multiple listeners in Oracle restart Hi all, I'm working with a new oracle restart configuration and I'm finding few problem. - Grid infrastructure is installed as user grid, I have also 3 different databases installed with user db1, db2, db3. - oinstall is the primary group for grid and three dbs. - every db should have a dedicated listener with dedicated vip - version is 11.2.0.2 for all and OS is RH5.6 64bit I've found that no dedicated listener from db home can be configured directly in oracle restart. Also, I'm not able to add, with srvctl from db home, the database to CRS due to error CRS-0259. VIP is not configurable due to lack of net1 resource. Too many things are going bad. I'm trying to configuring something not standard? Thanks Ste -- http://www.stefanocislaghi.eu -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
