Oracle Database Server 11gR1 LISTENER Issue

user8860348Mar 11 2017 — edited Mar 14 2017

Folk,

Hello. I am running Oracle Database Server 11gR1 in Virtual Machine Operating System Oracle Linux 5.

My host machine is Windows 10 in which 2 virtual machines are running.

The VM Oracle Linux 5 Host name is localhost.localdomain.

DB server LISTENER start up successfully for a long time as below:

[user@localhost bin]$./lsnrctl start LISTENER

Listening Endpoints Summary ...

(DESCRYPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost.localdomain)(PORT=1521)))

SNMP: OFF

...

The command commpleted successfully.

Now, I need to configure the virtual machine into my local network in Windows 10.

Thus, I assign a IP Address "MyIPaddress" and a new host name "mylinux.mydomain" to Oracle Linux 5.

I modify the 2 files "etc/hosts" and "tnsnames.ora" in Oracle Linux 5.

In the file "etc/hosts", I cancel one line and add one line as below:

::localhost6.localdomain6  localhost6  (this line is canceled)

MyIPaddress mylinux.mydomain mylinux (this line is added)

In the file /OracleDB_Home/network/admin/tnsnames.ora, I changed "localhost.localdomain" into "mylinux.mydomain" in the line below:

LISTENER=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost.localdomain)(PORT=1521)))

I shutdown and reboot Oracle Linux 5, I start LISTENER as below:

[user@localhost bin]$./lsnrctl start LISTENER

Listening Endpoints Summary ...

(DESCRYPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost.localdomain)(PORT=1521)))

SNMP: OFF

...

The command commpleted successfully.

As you see the output above,[user@localhost bin]$ doesn't change to [user@mylinux bin]$.

HOST=localhost.localdomain doesn't change to HOST=mylinux.mydomain.

The file "listener.ora" is not created when start the LISTENER.

My questions are:

1) How to have [user@localhost bin]$ change to [user@mylinux bin]$ ?

2) How to have LISTENER listening on (DESCRYPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=mylinux.mydomain)(PORT=1521))) in the file tnsname.ora ?

Thanks in advance.
