Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Connect Thru Listener for NEWLY Converted RAC DB Failing ......Basic Qs
Folks
Manually converted a Database from NON-RAC to RAC (2 instances) & Changed the "tnsnames.ora" file suitably.
Yet connect VIA the Listener to this Database is failing.
ERROR: ORA-12521: TNS:listener does not currently know of instance requested in
connect descriptor
NOTE - Connect to another Sample Database (TSTRAC) Created thru the "DBCA" Tool on the Same RAC Nodes is successful.
Qs Is registering of this RAC database and its instance-to-node mapping using SRVCTL needed? If so, How?
Qs Is Manually Change to some Other files also needed (Other than tnsnames.ora)?
Thanks indeed
