Folks For an upcoming Multi-Node RAC Benchmark having 10,000 Dedicated Server Database Connections Each, need to setup 20 Listener processes per Node. Need to Simulate the listener Setup on a 2-Node TEST RAC Environment already Existing here. Qs 1 - What Additions to the following listener.ora , tnsnames.ora are needed ? Qs 2 - What Additional Commands are needed so that ALL the 20 Listener processes (per Node) also get automatically Started on issue of the Command "# ORACLE_CRS_HOME/bin/crsctl start crs" & also appear in the Output of "crs_stat -t" Command (shown below) ? Qs 3 - Will the Same Changes also work if using "Shared Server" Setup for RAC in place of Dedicated Server connections ? NOTE - In the TEST Setup here, "netca" Tool was used to setup a Single Listener process which also automatically created the listener.ora & tnsnames.ora files Cheers & Thanks Vivek $ crs_stat -t Name Type Target State Host ------------------------------------------------------------ . . . ora....-2.lsnr application ONLINE ONLINE spesuns4p-2 <listener process on Node 1> . . . ora....-4.lsnr application ONLINE ONLINE spesuns4p-4 <listener process on Node 2> . . . listener.ora of Node 1:- LISTENER_ASMDBR_SPESUNS4P-2 = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = spesuns4p-2-vip)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.21.197.181)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST)) ) ) SID_LIST_LISTENER_ASMDBR_SPESUNS4P-2 = (SID_LIST = (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc) (ORACLE_HOME = /ora/asm10gr2/product) (PROGRAM = extproc) ) ) tnsnames.ora :- ASMDBR = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = spesuns4p-2-vip)(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = spesuns4p-4-vip)(PORT = 1521)) (LOAD_BALANCE = yes) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ASMDBR.ad.infosys.com) ) ) Configuration - Oracle 10gR2 **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
