Hi Rac gurus, Is there a way to give 2 addresses for the remote_listener in a rac env. I am configuring here a 3 node cluster and i have the following addresses which needs to be added to remote_listener (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.20.191.88)(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.20.191.89)(PORT = 1521)) Now these 2 ipaddress are of the other nodes. I do know that I can create this in the tnsnames.ora and add the alias to the remote_listener. But i came to know from oracle that sometimes it does not work properly and fails on the client side. Hence was wondering how i can add these addresses in the alter system command. If any of you have implemented this way can you please share the information with me by giving me the syntax.
