AIX

Hi,

We have installed oracle on a AIX machine and when we try to connect to AIX machine from oracle client installed on a windows machine or do a telnet to AIX machine on 1521 port , it throws an error connection refused on port 1521 , where all the ports and firewalls are open from windows to AIX , So can anybody help us on these where we need to configure anything on AIX /WIndows machine

On a first glance it seems that your listener is not running or is listening on another port. The listener is the process through which the database connects to the outside world. To verify this assumption do the following:

- log on to the AIX system using the Oracle user (the one you start/stop Oracle with)

- set the Oracle environment (this is usually not done automatically). Most times there is a script "oraenv.sh" or similarly named. Call it this way:

Code:

orauser@aix $ . /path/to/oraenv.sh

- Issue the following command:

Code:

orauser@aix $ lsnrctl status

It should tell you the status of any configured listeners (there can be more than one).

I hope this helps.
