All,

Can you bind Oracle to communicate through a particular IP address by making note of it in the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files.

or does it use the operating system for routing?

We are adding a second nic card for redundancy purposes whereby if one NIC is down, the other NIC would pick up the load.

Environment:
Sun Solaris
Oracle EE 8.1.7.2

The current game plan is documented below:



Configure the interface on the sun server

Add a second ADDRESS= line to ADDRESS_LIST section in listener.ora file

Add second address to address tnsnames.ora service name (under ADDRESS_LIST section)

Add second address to clients' tnsnames.ora files

Physically remove ethernet cable from old NIC on DB server (could be simulated by simply bringing down the network interface in software, but this could cause other problems)

Replace network cable and/or re-enable interface on db server

Thanks in advance.
