Hi,

1st of all please forgive me if such a topic exists being solved, give me a link then, I could't find...

1) I encountered strange problem when issuing lsnrctl status (the problematic lines are bold):

/home/oracle> lsnrctl status

LSNRCTL for Solaris: Version 10.1.0.3.0 - Production on 16-JAN-2007 21:16:16

The command completed successfully

Is this state ok? I mean: are these three instances at the same time good? And what does it mean?
When, for example, I try to use exp I get error:

EXP-00056: ORACLE error 1033 encountered
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress

and I think the problem is in these 3 instances. My listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = d.zone1)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1)
(SID_NAME = d)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = Oracle8)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = a)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1)
(SID_NAME = a)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ora)(PORT = 1521))
)
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
)
)

2) And one more: my listener.log is now 1260M big. Can I rename it to e.g. listener.old and create new one (as oracle user: touch listener.log)? Do I have to stop listener?

Thanks in advance, if more info is needed, give me a sign.
