Riyaj, Thanks for pointing out about the 12c scan. I will look into it.

My preference would be to find a way to make this work without going through an 
upgrade..
Could we bypass the SCAN listeners and connect to the instances directly? What 
kind of issues am I inviting? 

Thanks much

Scan listeners in the second network is supported from 12c. So, another option 
is to upgrade the clusterware to 12c,create the new database in 12c, and keep 
the existing database in 11.2.0.4 for now. 


However, i have not tested this configuration and so, YMMV.Cheers

Yeah. The second database will be part of the same cluster.

Sounds tricky.  Is this second database clustered? Failover configuration might 
be kind of iffy.

Hello All - 
I have a 11.2.0.4 Oracle RAC running on Sparc platform with 3 nodes. I have the 
scan listeners configured on Network_A and an application is using the scan 
Listeners.

Without impacting the above setup, I would like to create a second database in 
the RAC environment and setup access for another set of applications through 
another network Network_B. They both are independent networks (its a 
requirement based on the legacy networks we have). I need the listener for the 
second database to be listening on Network_B.  




Example:
Network_A - 192.168.6.x
Network_B - 10.120.2.x

What are my options in creating such a setup and what are the 
limitations/constraints in this setup?

I'd assume if I bypass the SCAN listeners and access the database listener 
directly, I'd have to keep up with the cluster changes at the application layer 
(like node additions/removal etc).. Similar to Oracle 10g RAC - anything else?




Thanks much
