SCAN VIPs and DNS
Experts,
I understand that SCAN VIPs are required to start SCAN LISTENERS
And SCAN Listeners are running on the RAC Nodes.
I knew that all 3 SCAN IPs are using single scan name and it is used for client/appl connections. In DNS round robin method is followed to route connections to the scan listner.
1) Why we need to place SCAN VIPs in DNS rather than local nodes !
2) Scan VIPs do any vital role other than to start scan listeners ?
