Instance status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service in LISTNER.ora

789546Feb 9 2012 — edited Feb 22 2012
The oracle database version is 11.2.0.3 and i have instance abcd plus 2 other instances.

Oracle When i run the lsnrctl status command i get the following. I only have 1 instance, dont know why it is showing 2 instances . All other instances only show 1

Service "abcd" has 2 instance(s).
Instance "abcd", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Instance "abcd", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...


I only see unkown for this instance, How can i get rid of it?

Also i am trying to establish oracle client 11.2.0.1 connection to this server and have set the TNSNAMES.ora file pointing to that server but not able to establisg connection
When i try to TNSPING abcd, i get ORA-12170: TNS: Connect timeout occurred

Is this because of status UNKNOWN in listner.ora file? Please explain

I am not able to figure it out ..thanks a bunch

See the following:

Oracle Database Software Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle

Previous Database Release Software

Oracle Database 10.2 and 11.1 are no longer available for download. The software is available as a media or FTP request for those customers who own a valid Oracle Database product license for any edition. To request access to these releases, follow the instructions in Oracle Support Document 1071023.1 (Requesting Physical Shipment or Download URL for Software Media) from My Oracle Support. NOTE: for Oracle Database 10.2, you should request 10.2.0.1 even if you want to install a later patch set. Once you install 10.2.0.1 you can then apply any 10.2 patch set. Similarly, for 11.1 request 11.1.0.6 which must be applied before installing 11.1.0.7. Patch sets can be downloaded from the Patches and Updates tab on My Oracle Support.

When I go to

edelivery.oracle.com

and do a search with 10.2.0.5

I only get

Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10.2.0.5.0

Dude!

Oracle 10g database is no longer available from any legal or public Oracle sources. You have to contact Oracle sales or support.

See e.g. this old thread

Also 10.2.0.x is not supported on Linux 6 - so likely getting hold of the media will be the easy part ;-)

Directly you cannot start 10g installation on rhel 6 , before install

Edit the "/etc/redhat-release" file replacing the current release information (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6 ) with the following:

redhat-4

After installation you can reset it back .(Its just for skipping installer version check skip)

Can you point to a doc where this is the supported method ?

Workaround #2: On Oracle Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the installation will pass the operating system prerequisite checks if you change each Oracle Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to Oracle Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 in the /etc/redhat-release file. Ensure that you replace the original values in the /etc/redhat-release file after the Oracle installation is complete.



From below oracle doc link

Dude!

That applies to EL 5, but not EL 6. EL 6 is way too far ahead regarding software per-requisites. I'm not saying it cannot be done, but it is not supported and has a few other challenges. Perhaps in the case of the OP, the best way is to run 10g under EL 6 inside VirtualBox using OL 5.
