Oracle Database Discussions

Hi All,

OS: OUL5x64
DB 11gR12

Hope you can give an advise here on this issue.
this is 2 nodes rac db 11gR1 cloned from production ebs r12. After the clone, the database started up fine but i could not start up the listener.ora
here is the error.

Error listening on: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=test01)(PORT=1571)(IP=FIRST)))
TNS-12542: TNS:address already in use
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00512: Address already in use
Linux Error: 98: Address already in use

went thru so many oracle notes: did delete /var/tmp/.oracle and reboot the serve rbut it did not help.
the listener did not use ICP
turned on trace = support
here is a portion of the trace.
