Your wording and your link do not match!

Your wording is “Basically during the installation you need to link the listener.ora in oracle home to listener.ora in grid home”

your link links back to the endpoints_listener.ora

I have been having a similar issue with dbca creating a database. Till today I did not know that there exists a file named: endpoints_listener.ora in my 11.2.0.1 grid OH/network/admin

My issue may be that port 1522 is specified in the endpoints_listener.ora when in reality the only port we are using is 1521. Apparently the install / upgrade process from 11.1.07 built the file with port 1522.

I have not proved if that is my only issue because I can’t just change endpoints_listener.ora today because we are talking a production environment.

please be aware of Note 948456.1 if you have a mixed environment with 11gR2 GI and <11gR2 RDBMS.

Also, when you apply GI PSU patches, for pre 11gR2 RDBMS you should apply RDBMS part of pre 11gR2 CRS as stated in Note 1064804.1.

When having a mixed environment with 11.2.0.1.2 GI (July PSU) and pre 11gR2 RDBMS, there is a severe bug regarding availability when you loose public LAN on one node. It is fixed in 11.2.0.2 PSU. We´ll see if the fix it will be in Oct PSU for 11.2.0.1.

Best regards,
Martin
