Problem in accessing Oracle Database Server from Linux Machine
I am facing a strange issue in connecting to Oracle database from Linux Machine
- The connectivity is not failing all the time , the failure to success ratio is 1:70.
- Error "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
- Majority of the time the connection is successful
- I am able to ping the target database server using the hostname defined in /etc/hosts
- There is another Oracle server which has a seamless connectivity.

Entry in tnsnames.ora
Code:
XXX.XXXXXX.COM =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = XXX.XXX.XX.XX)(PORT = XXXX))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
        (SERVER = DEDICATED)
        (SERVICE_NAME = XXXX)
       (FAILOVER_MODE =
        (TYPE = SELECT)
        (METHOD = BASIC)
        (RETRIES = 180)
        (DELAY = 5)

    )))

Does tnsping return successfully every time or is there a similar failure there?

The tnsping is not currently available in the machine, I wonder if we are allowed to use it.

Are either the DB or the client running on virtualised machines?

Well, now we have the tnsping working.

Code:
[root@XXXXXX:xxx]# tnsping XXXX.XXXXXXXX.XX 5
