But with the above configurations, the client connections some times may fail when the SCAN is resolving to 133.22.67.193 or 133.22.67.194. It establishes connection only when the SCAN resolves to 133.22.67.192.

Thank you so much for this HowTo. That saved a lot of time, because adding an SCAN Listener is different from adding an typical cluster ressource (crsct add res ora.scan2.vip... will not work)

Thanks. :-)

I have the same issue where only one LISTENER_SCAN is configured. However, when i try to connect via sqlplus @SCAN-NAME it never connects. My $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora is basically the same as your example above. /u01/home/11.2.0/grid/bin/srvctl modify scan -n SCAN-name
still only returns LISTENER_SCAN1. The only difference i noticed was that when you did
srvctl config scan
SCAN name: rac-scan, Network: 1/133.22.38.0/255.255.255.0/eth2
SCAN VIP name: scan1, IP: /rac-scan.example.com/133.22.67.192
I got SCAN VIP name: scan1, IP: // instead of /
Any ideas on what is wrong?

Give me the output of following commands :
host rac-scan
nslookup rac-scan

SQL> conn test/test@ => What is the error messg you are getting.

I have similar issue, but after running the "srvctl modify scan", I see no change.
The config scan still shows only one IP.
# /home/app/Clusterware/11.2.0.1/grid/bin/srvctl modify scan -n geodbscan2
# /home/app/Clusterware/11.2.0.1/grid/bin/srvctl config scan
SCAN name: geodbscan2, Network: 1/10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0/eth0
SCAN VIP name: scan1, IP: /10.0.10.67/10.0.10.67

Any ideas?

The scan name should be correctly configured. It should be resolved to 3 IPs. Pls provide me the information requested above.

# nslookup geodbscan2
Server: 10.0.2.126
Address: 10.0.2.126#53

Name: geodbscan2.example.com
Address: 10.0.10.69
Name: geodbscan2.example.com
Address: 10.0.10.67
Name: geodbscan2.example.com
Address: 10.0.10.68

Pls execute the following steps and provide me the two trace files.
=========
script trace1.log
export SRVM_TRACE=TRUE
srvctl modify scan -n geodbscan2
exit

strace -aef -o trace2.log srvctl modify scan -n geodbscan2
==========

Thanks

Problem has been resolved.
Issue was in /etc/nsswitch.conf
Line
hosts: files nis dns
changed to
hosts: files dns
Then rerun modify command and everything ok after that.

Hi SRI,

server1:xyzadm 102> srvctl config scan
SCAN name: cscan.xyz.local, Network: 1/cc.xxx.yy.0/255.255.240.0/eth0
SCAN VIP name: scan1, IP: /cscan.xyz.local/cc.xxx.yy.57
SCAN VIP name: scan2, IP: /cscan.xyz.local/cc.xxx.yy.56
SCAN VIP name: scan3, IP: /cscan.xyz.local/cc.xxx.yy.58
server1:xyzadm 103> srvctl config scan_listener
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN1 exists. Port: TCP:1521
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN2 exists. Port: TCP:1521
SCAN Listener LISTENER_SCAN3 exists. Port: TCP:1521
server1:xyzadm 104>
server1:xyzadm 76> srvctl status service -d XYZ
Service XYZ_D01 is running on instance(s) XYZ001
Service XYZ_D02 is running on instance(s) XYZ002
server1:xyzadm 77>
with above details and I also tested the nslokup or ping 3 times and IP's round robin is configured correctly. But not able to connect to the database using scan listener. How can I test connection to Database using scan listener?

Hi Pravin,
Please provide me following details :

set lines 120
set pages 200
column name format a20 tru
column value format a40 wra
select inst_id, name, value
from gv$parameter
where name in ('service_names','local_listener','remote_listener',
'db_name','db_domain','instance_name')
order by 1,2,3;

ps -ef | grep -i tns ( on each rac node)

srvctl status scan_listener -i ( For all scan listeners)

Thanks
SRI

hi,
i mentioned 3 scan ip 172.16.101.201/202/203 in /etc/hosts file is it correct or we need to configure DNS. Please clear me. I dont know much about os related configuration.

Hi Thahir,
DNS configuration is required to resolve host-ip configuration. We can achieve the same thing by specifying the entries in /etc/hosts file.
Thanks

the howto is good.
one remark: the below commands onwards should be run as grid and not root
from
[root@rac01 network-scripts]# /u01/home/11.2.0/grid/bin/srvctl start scan_listener
to
[grid@rac01 network-scripts]# /u01/home/11.2.0/grid/bin/srvctl start scan_listener

Basically this is covered in How to Modify SCAN Setting or SCAN Listener Port after Installation (Doc ID 972500.1), for those having MOS accounts

Hi Sir,

When you type "srvctl modify scan -n rac-scan" . oracle will automatically configures scan-vip with scan name. How will oracle come to know that 193 and 194 scan ips should be configured to this scan name(rac-scan).

Srikrishna Murthy Annam

Hi Gautham, Before issuing this command, your need to configure your scan name to be resolved for 3 IPs. It can be either at the DNS level or at the /etc/hosts file level ( local configurations). When you issue this command, it checks the scan name and if it is resolved to 3 IPs, it will configure scan name to these 3 IPs.
