This document discusses Oracle RAC internals and architecture. It provides an overview of the Oracle RAC architecture including software deployment, processes, and resources. It also covers topics like VIPs, networks, listeners, and SCAN in Oracle RAC. Key aspects summarized include the typical Oracle RAC software stack, local and cluster resources, how VIPs and networks are configured, and the role and dependencies of listeners.

SCAN 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. 1 SCAN OS OS Oracle Grid Infrastructure … ora.LISTENER.lsnr … ora.net1.network LISTENER_SCAN1 ora.SCAN1.VIP … … … … … ora.LISTENER.lsnr … ora.net1.network rac1 rac2

Listeners and Instance Registration 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.

Otherwise, cross registration will happen and connections will be redirected cross networks. • For more information, see also MOS Note 1063571.1 – How to Configure A Second Listener on a Separate Network in 11.2 Grid Infrastructure OS OS Oracle Grid Infrastructure LISTENER_SCAN1 ora.SCAN1.VIP … … … … rac1 rac2 DB Instance DB Instance … ora.LISTENER.lsnr Ora.LISTENERK2.lsnr ora.net1.network ora.net2.network … … ora.LISTENER.lsnr ora.LISTENERK2.lsnr ora.net1.network ora.net2.network …
