Try renaming the ons.config file that's in the oracle_home (not the crs_home), and restart the listener, or before starting the listener set the ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME to the crs home. rgds On 5/19/07, fairlie rego <fairlie_r@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
William, Are you sure that your environments on both nodes point to the CRS_HOME and not the ORACLE_HOME. I know of issues where onsctl ping would work from the CRS_HOME but not from the ORACLE_HOME Also a trace of srvctl with SRVM_TRACE=DEBUG might help you to find out what exactly is causing the hang on node 1 Thanks Fairlie *William Wagman <wjwagman@xxxxxxxxxxx>* wrote: Fairlie, Thanks for the response. Here is another piece to the puzzle which to me just adds to the confusion. On node 1... $ srvctl status nodeapps -n brownshoe hangs $ onsctl ping Number of onsconfiguration retrieved, numcfg = 2 onscfg[0] {node = brownshoe.ucdavis.edu, port = 6200} Adding remote host brownshoe.ucdavis.edu:6200 onscfg[1] {node = tenspeed.ucdavis.edu, port = 6200} Adding remote host tenspeed.ucdavis.edu:6200 ons is not running ... $ on node 2 I see... $ srvctl status nodeapps -n tenspeed VIP is running on node: tenspeed GSD is running on node: tenspeed Listener is not running on node: tenspeed ONS daemon is running on node: tenspeed $ onsctl ping Number of onsconfiguration retrieved, numcfg = 2 onscfg[0] {node = brownshoe.ucdavis.edu, port = 6200} Adding remote host brownshoe.ucdavis.edu:6200 onscfg[1] {node = tenspeed.ucdavis.edu, port = 6200} Adding remote host tenspeed.ucdavis.edu:6200 ons is not running ... $ Why does node 1 hang and why does srvctl show ons running but onsctl ping says no. I don't understand the discrepancy. Thanks.

You shouldn't have this problem if you set SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_<listener> to OFF which should disable ONS subscription If you still have an issue can you paste/send the output of onsctl debug Thanks Fairlie *William Wagman <wjwagman@xxxxxxxxxxx>* wrote: Greetings, On a two node RAC cluster, Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 Enterprise Edition on RHEL4 64-bit using CRS. In my listener.log I see numerous occurrences of the message... WARNING: Subscription for node down event still pending In searching for the web I find it commonly suggested that the listener.ora file by updated to include the parameter SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LSNR= This is where I get lost. I am unable to find any documentation as to what constitutes a node down event and what the ramifications are. What is a node down event? I have searched the Oracle docs for this parameter, nothing is found. Searching for listener.ora refers me to the net services guide but I am unable to find specific syntax for this parameter, it doesn't even appear in the index. Searching also refers me to the configuring the listener.ora in the various clusterware guides but again, no syntax for the parameter is given nor is it listed in the index. I'm stumped. What we are seeing is that our application is using web logic and it appears that after a while connections and querying start to slow down and restarting the listener temporarily appears to resolve the issue. Some of the notes about the warning message indicates that the listener encountering some memory issues but I really can't find any explanations of this anywhere. If anyone can shed any light on this or point me to some documentation on what this means or how to troubleshoot this problem I would be very grateful. Thanks.
