VIPs and Networks
Oracle VIPs
• SCAN and node VIPs are cluster resources
• SCAN VIPs can float in the cluster
• Node VIPs per default run on specific nodes
• All VIPs on the public network (SCAN, node,
user or application VIPs) depend on the Oracle
network resource.
• The network resource monitors
the public network interface(s).
• IOCTL based checks vs. default gateway ping
• Default gateway checks as backup
• racgvip for backward compatibility only

• The Oracle network resource monitors the
public network interface(s) (e.g. eth0).
• The default is network number 1 (net1)
• There is one network resource per subnet:
[GRID]> srvctl config network
Network exists:
1/192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0/eth0, type static
• New in 11.2.0.2:
• Direct management of the network resource
• srvctl verb network
• Network type support (static, dhcp, mixed)

Listeners
Listeners and dependencies
• In Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 there have been
three major changes regarding listeners:
1. Listeners per default now run from the
Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GRID) home
2. Listeners are managed by an Oracle agent
3. SCAN Listeners were introduced
• A listener depends on a VIP
• A listener depends indirectly on a network OS OS

• 3 SCANs are the default for HA and LB
• Regardless of number of nodes
• You can define less or more, if really needed.
• SCAN listener resources run with
an active dispersion dependency
• If you use more nodes in the cluster than
SCAN listeners are defined, no node should
run more than one SCAN bundle at a time
• If you use less nodes in the cluster than
SCAN listeners are defined, there will be
nodes running more than one SCAN bundle
at a time.
• SCAN VIP moves with the listener, if possible.

The SCAN FAQ
• From MOS Note 220970.1 –
RAC: Frequently Asked Questions
• How to use SCAN and node listeners with different ports?
• With Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 using SCAN is the default.
• As with other listeners, there is no direct communication
between the node (listeners) and the SCAN listeners.
• Listeners are only aware of the instances and services served,
since the instances (PMON) register themselves and the services
they host with the listeners.
• The instances use the LOCAL and REMOTE Listener
parameters to know with which listeners to register.
• Listeners used for a client connection to Oracle RAC should be
managed by Oracle Clusterware and should be listening on an
Oracle managed VIP.

• Can you define another owner? – NO
• Can you define another home? – NO
• Can you have more than one node listener with SCAN? – YES
• Can the SCAN and the node listener ports differ? - YES

Listeners and Instance Registration
Listener changes may require instance changes
• See MOS Note 220970.1 –
RAC: Frequently Asked Questions
• How to use SCAN and node listeners with different ports?
• Whenever you change an instance parameter configuration
a change to the LOCAL_LISTENER or REMOTE_LISTENER
per database (instance) may be required.
• Note that using server-side TNSANMES aliases to
resolve the listener configuration is not recommended.
• The use of the TNSNAMES connector string is the default:
local_listener = ‘(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.0.61)(PORT=2011))
))'

EXAMPLE
• Taken from MOS Note 220970.1 – RAC: FAQ
• How to use SCAN and node listeners with different ports?
• Add additional node listeners to the system using different ports
• New node listener does not serve any database instance
• You must alter the LOCAL_LISTENER parameters
for each instance accordingly:
alter system set local_listener =‘
(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.0.61)(PORT=2011))))
' scope=BOTH SID='OCRL1';
alter system register;

EXAMPLE
• Taken from MOS Note 220970.1 – RAC: FAQ
• How to use SCAN and node listeners with different ports?
• Add additional node listeners to the system using different ports
• Note: Use spaces between the various segments of the command
• Reason: the database agent in Oracle Clusterware currently
determines whether the local_listener or remote_listener have
been manually set by a string comparison operation.
• If the string looks unaltered it will reset these parameters
with the default values that it determines on instance startup.
• Slight modifications are therefore required. ER 11772838
has been filed to allow for a more convenient mechanism.

Listeners and Instance Registration
Using listeners in different subnets / networks
• SCAN can only operate in one network / subnet
• If listeners in different subnets are used,
• use LISTENER_NETWORKS:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01
/server.112/e17110/initparams115.htm#REFRN10313
• Note: Listeners specified by the LISTENER_NETWORKS
parameter should not be used in the LOCAL_LISTENER and
REMOTE_LISTENER parameters. Otherwise, cross registration
will happen and connections will be redirected cross networks.

Listeners and Service Registration
A summary
• Services depend on a database
• Per default, the database instance will register
all services it hosts with all listeners it registers with.
• Services operate within the following boundaries:
• Network (indirectly via dependency)
• Server Pools (in policy-managed database environments)
• Currently there is no support for service failover
• Between Server Pools
• Between networks
