New server with two network interface cards
We have a new Solaris T4 server that has two NICs. We've given each NIC an IP. The idea is to put the hostname in the tnsnames.ora file and let the server decide which NIC to use.
DATABASE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =HOSTNAME)(PORT = 1551))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = DATABASE))
)
In my listener.ora file I have
DATABASE =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL= IPC)(KEY= EXTPROCDATABASE))
(ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= 10.1.99.xxx)(Port= 1551))
(ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= 10.1.99.yyy)(Port= 1551))
)
Has anyone done anything like this before?
Thanks,
Sharon
