Thanks Ryan, This solved my issue! crsctl modify resource ora.LISTENER_SCAN1.lsnr -attr USR_ORA_ENV=TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/tnsadmin crsctl modify resource ora.LISTENER_SCAN2.lsnr -attr USR_ORA_ENV=TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/tnsadmin crsctl modify resource ora.LISTENER_SCAN3.lsnr -attr USR_ORA_ENV=TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/tnsadmin From: Ryan January [mailto:rjanuary@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2014 12:59 PM To: nmjamaleddin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: TNS_ADMIN, RAC and SCAN LISTENERS I've noticed similar behavior in the past. Another option you have may be crsctl modify resource . http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e41959/crsref.htm#CWADD91551 crsctl modify resource resource_name -attr "attribute_name=attribute_value" On Jul 2, 2014, at 12:46 PM, Nabil Jamaleddin <nmjamaleddin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I am in the process of moving the grid sqlnet files to a new folder. I have set TNS_ADMIN in the oracle and grid homes. I have also ran the two commands below srvctl setenv listener -t TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/tnsadmin srvctl setenv db -d db1 -t TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/tnsadmin now when I start my listeners they will start from the TNS_ADMIN folder. srvctl start listener but when I start my scan listeners they start from the GRID_HOME/network/admin srvctl start scan_listener What am I missing? How do I get my scan listeners to start from the TNS_ADMIN folder? And I don't want to create a symbolic link...that just feels to wrong for me to do : - ) Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------ This email is intended solely for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary, or both.
