Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Subscribe_for_node_down_event
Thanks for the suggestions. The answers highlight something I am
beginning to think I don't understand fully and perhaps you can help.
The question is. which home should the listener be running from. This is
a recent installation and for the first time I have followed Oracle's
suggestion and created a separate home for ASM. In previous
installations ASM and RDBMS shared the same home but now I have three,
CRS, ASM and RDBMS home. Things are configured now such that when the
nodes are rebooted the listener is started out of the ASM home. My
question is, should the listener start out of a particular home or does
it matter?
Also, the environment variable ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME is one I am not familiar with, what does that do?
Thanks.

Try renaming the ons.config file that's in the oracle_home (not the crs_home), and restart the listener, or before starting the listener set the ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME to the crs home.

William,
Are you sure that your environments on both nodes point to the CRS_HOME and not the ORACLE_HOME. I know of issues where onsctl ping would work from the CRS_HOME but not from the ORACLE_HOME Also a trace of srvctl with SRVM_TRACE=DEBUG might help you to find out what exactly is causing the hang on node 1 Thanks Fairlie William Wagman <wjwagman_at_ucdavis.edu> wrote: Fairlie, Thanks for the response. Here is another piece to thepuzzle which to me just adds to the confusion. On node 1...

I don't understand the discrepancy.
Thanks.

You shouldn't have this problem if you set SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_<listener> to OFF which should disable ONS subscription If you still have an issue can you paste/send the output of onsctl debug Thanks Fairlie William Wagman < wjwagman_at_ucdavis.edu
Greetings,
On a two node RAC cluster, Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 Enterprise Edition on RHEL4
64-bit using CRS.
In my listener.log I see numerous occurrences of the message...
WARNING: Subscription for node down event still pending
In searching for the web I find it commonly suggested that the
listener.ora file by updated to include the parameter
SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LSNR= This is where I get lost. I am unable to find any documentation as to
what constitutes a node down event and what the ramifications are. What
is a node down event?
I have searched the Oracle docs for this parameter, nothing is found.
Searching for listener.ora refers me to the net services guide but I am
unable to find specific syntax for this parameter, it doesn't even
appear in the index. Searching also refers me to the configuring the
listener.ora in the various clusterware guides but again, no syntax for
the parameter is given nor is it listed in the index. I'm stumped.
What we are seeing is that our application is using web logic and it
appears that after a while connections and querying start to slow down
and restarting the listener temporarily appears to resolve the issue.
Some of the notes about the warning message indicates that the listener
encountering some memory issues but I really can't find any explanations
of this anywhere.
If anyone can shed any light on this or point me to some documentation
on what this means or how to troubleshoot this problem I would be very
grateful.
Thanks.
