endpoints_listener.ora
A client of mine has Oracle RAC 11.2.0.4 on MS Windows 2008. The endpoints_listener.ora file was modified manually and a mistake was made. The person who modified the file has put in VIP twice, instead of the VIP and the public IP address. I modified it back to the correct public address and restarted the listener using
srvctl stop scan_listener -i 1, followed by srvctl start scan_listener -i 1. Both commands were successful, but the scan listener is still not listening on the public IP address, which can be verified by "lsnrctl status".
My suspicion is that this file is only read during the cluster startup.
