Hello Stalin,

Regarding BUG 12659561 - this is a BUG and should be fixed by applying the respective patch.

For more information see the following MOS note (Doc ID 12659561.8) - Bug 12659561 - after scan listener failover, database instance might not register to the scan listener

SCAN listeners are already monitored as part of the Oracle Clusterware stack, which is why they are "failed over" as required. You trying to capture such a failover to perhaps apply the manual workaround mentioned in the note will require you to tail logs or implement an additional monitoring for the SCAN listener(s). As you noticed, the FAN events do not include listener events, as they are meant for clients. The client uses a service registered with the listener to connect to the DB. Hence, mainly service events will be sent to the client.

If you ask me, I recommend fixing the BUG. BUG fixes are available in many patches and you can request an additional backport as required.

Hope that helps. Thanks, good luck and have a great weekend,
      Markus

We had an interesting problem few days ago in our production environment where 
one of the scan listener wasn't showing all the instances/services registered 
to it. Other 2 scans were fine. We did have scan listener fail-over to other 
active nodes when node reboots were performed.
Apparently, we had hit "Bug 12659561  after scan listener failover, database 
instance might not register to the scan listener".

I was wondering how to monitor scan listener fail-over / relocate to another 
active nodes, whenever that event happens. I looked up FAN user callouts which 
we use to monitor services up/down events but don't see anything for scan vip 
nor listener.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Stalin
