SYMPTOMS

Scan listener ONLINE INTERMEDIATE and in a state of CHECK TIMED OUT

CAUSE

This status may be encountered due to the known issue whereby the default timeout for LISTENER resources (30
seconds) for 11.2.X RAC clusters on Windows is too aggressive.

Reference: Bug 14593380 - CHECK TIMED OUT STATUS INTERMITTENTLY SEEN FOR LISTENER AND DATABASE
RESOURCES

SOLUTION

1. Check the current value of the CHECK_TIMEOUT attribute of the SCAN listener resources by running the following
commands from $GI_HOME/bin as a local Administrator:

> crsctl status resource ora.LISTENER_SCAN1.lsnr -f


> crsctl status resource ora.LISTENER_SCAN2.lsnr -f
> crsctl status resource ora.LISTENER_SCAN3.lsnr -f

Among the output for each of the listeners you will see an entry like this:

> CHECK_TIMEOUT=nnn

where nnn is some number.

2. If this number is 60 or less then please change this as follows:

> crsctl modify res <name of listener> -attr "CHECK_TIMEOUT=120"

This will set the CHECK_TIMEOUT interval to 120. Values less than 120 seconds are not recommended for Windows.
Repeat for all SCAN listeners and check that the values have been changed (sing the "crsctl status ... " commands above).

3. Monitor for recurrence of the "CHECK TIMED OUT" messages. It may take some time for any existing messages to
clear.

Note: 1. If the local listeners are also encountering the CHECK TIMED OUT issue then modify them also.

2. Although the bug referred here are for windows, the CHECK_TIMEOUT changes is applicable to all platforms. In
12.1.0.2, CHECK_TIMEOUT is set to 120 for LISTENER resource by default.
