To Andrew, > The nslookup showed only 2 ip addresses, not the required 3. nslookup -> that depends on your DNS server what do you see in? $ srvctl config scan Oracle suggests 3 IPs, so you can have 2 IPs for SCAN. >Has anyone used the srvctl add scan_listener command nope, I added IP SCAN and scan listener by using "crsctl" Example: # crsctl status res ora.LISTENER_SCAN1.lsnr -p and then check attribute for using with SCAN2 Listener and use > crsctl add resource http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16794/crsref.htm#CHDIHGHE Good Luck Surachart Opun http://surachartopun.com Oracle ACE, OCE, OCP On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 11:17 PM, Andrew Kerber <andrew.kerber@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > So, I recently took ownership of an 11gR2 cluster.
