RAC LISTENERS -learnomate
Listeners in RAC
The listener.ora file is the configuration file for a listener. It can include the protocol addresses it is accepting connection requests on, a list of the database and other services it is listening for, and control parameters used by the listener.
You can modify the configuration of the listeners used by Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC with Server Control Utility (SRVCTL) commands, or by using NETCA. Manual editing of the listener.ora file is not required.
Each listener is configured with one or more protocol addresses that specify its listening endpoints. The listener agent dynamically updates endpoints with the listener. Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2, the listener.ora file now only contains an IPC key and the following information:
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))
The listener.ora file is the same on every node for an Oracle RAC database. Listening endpoints, such as the port numbers, are dynamically registered with the listener.
Before you install Oracle RAC, during the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, NETCA creates and starts a default listener in the Grid home called LISTENER. The listener is configured with default protocol listening addresses. The listener is configured to respond to connection requests that are directed to one protocol address specified during installation.
During the Oracle RAC installation, the Oracle RAC database uses the listener in the Grid home, and configures service information about the Oracle RAC database. The database services automatically register their information with the listener, such as the service name, instance names, and load information. Dynamic service registration eliminates the need for static configuration of database services.

How to verify the ASM Listener and SCAN listener?
=================================
Grid $
cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/
Cat listener.ora
Lsnrctl status LISTENER
lsnrctl status LISTENER_SCAN1
Lsnrctl status
>>>Default it will be pointing to GI Listener (LISTENER)
crsctl stat res -t
>>>>verify ora.LISTENER.lsnr and ora.LISTENER_SCAN1.lsnr services
Service Creation at cluster level
=========================
Srvctl add service -d prim -s Myservice -r prim1 -a prim2 -P BASIC
srvctl status service -d prim -s Myservice
srvctl start service -d prim -s Myservice
srvctl status service -d prim -s Myservice
Srvctl config service -d prim -s Myservice
Srvctl modify service -d prim -s Myservice -P NONE
Srvctl remove service -d prim -s Myservice
srvctl add service -d prim -service SRV_RMAN -preferred prim1,prim2
srvctl add service -db prim prim -service Myservice -oldinst prim1 -newinst prim2
Adding local LISTENER LISTENER_prim to the cluster
