Hi,

We have a two node 11.2.0.3 Grid Infra cluster running on SLES11 Linux.

Everything is ok with the SCAN and standard listeners.

However we have a listener running on each node which is used by Oracle Gateway. These listeners were created manually using info provided by Oracle (i.e. definition copied to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora and started using lsnrctl). This all works.

These listeners are currently not managed by Grid Infra. We would like them to be.

I thought this was easy enough using srvctl to register them with Grid Infra using...

srvctl add listener -n mynode1 -l LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW -o $ORACLE_HOME -p 1529
srvctl add listener -n mynode2 -l LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW -o $ORACLE_HOME -p 1529

These commands worked but did give a warning stating that the -n flag is deprecated and will be ignored.

This has left us with the following listener config....

grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode1 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1

grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode 2 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2

You can see that Grid Infra knows about the listeners but they are available on both nodes. What we would like is a result like the following example....

grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode1 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1

grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode 2 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2

i.e one listener registered with just the node it is running on. This used to be possible with using the -n flag but no longer works. Does anyone have any advice on how to achive this in 11gR2.

Any input appreciated,

Regards
