There are many DBs on the same HP-UN platform server. I add another nondefault listener name and port number in the listener.ora file, allocate the different SID under the SID LIST description of the separate listener name. It's the purpose that I want to limit the client connect the instance through the port number where I defined in the listener.ora.
I have two questions:
(1)In my case I think the client can connect the FMS through the 1523 port only, but I can connect FMS through 1521 and 1523 port using the tnsnames.ora.
(2)Why all the DBs auto register to the TSTDB listener port 1521, even it has not defined under the SID LIST description area? I think that's the cause why the FMS can connect the 1521 and 1523 port.

The listener.ora contents as following:

I think your tnsnames.ora on the server and the client must match (service_names, sid, port, ...) You must start all three listeners before connecting.

Thanks for your reply, I'm sorry for the port number not consisten between listener.ora contents and lsnrctl status message that's my mistake when paste the text.

tnsnames.ora on the server and the client must match (service_names, sid, port, ...), do you meaning the port and sid in tnsname.ora on the clietn must match the listener.ora on the server? I think if the port or sid not match will get the ORA-12514 error when attempted to connect the DB from client.

If many different listener name defined in the listener.ora, I think the instance can only registered which listener name that has its sid name under the SID_LIST_LISTENER, then the client can only define the match port,sid in tnsname.ora on client.

The fact that the instance can auto registered with the listener port that SID_LIST_LISTENER without its name, so I'm confuse, my concept is wrong? or my configure has defect that I don't know?
