The SCAN name is resolving to the VIP host name instead of IP

2712108Aug 11 2015 — edited Aug 11 2015

Hi All,

I have setup a Oracle RAC with SCAN which resolves to 3 IP addresses with a DNS server.

The issue I'm having is I'm unable to connect to the DB with the SCAN name externally. When I try to connect with an JAVA client I see the following Exception.

IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection

Cased by the following

Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: rac2-vip: Name or service not known

rac2-vip is the host entry I have used when installing the RAC. Since I havent added rac2-vip to an DNS server the client is unable to resolve to this. Why is this happening? Do I need to add rac2-vip as a host entry or to a DNS server?


Your kind assistance is highly appreciated.


With Regrads,

Yasas
