First, You have not named the listener to start it with a name.
>>lsnrctl start orcl
For above to work, you first need to name the listener as orcl.
Here is an example with the listener named as "prod" that
handles connection for database instance "prod"
oracle@jinx#cat listener.ora
prod =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = jinx)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
SID_LIST_prod =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = prod)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/home)
)
)
oracle@jinx#lsnrctl start prod

You seem to be confusing listeners with tnsnames.
tnsnames.ora defines the list of dbs/services the listener can connect to.
listener.ora defines the list of listeners.
The error messages do point that out:
TNS-01151: Missing listener name, orcl, in LISTENER.ORA

And to add,
I was expecting to see an instance named ORCL, because your Tnsnames.ora entry ORCL is looking into ORCL not "cis".
Quote:
[oracle@dw9 admin]$ cat tnsnames.ora
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dw9)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
)
)
In other words, you tnsentries are wrong. It is looking into non-existing instance.
