I just started up a 9i listener for the first time and I am getting the following message (at startup and when I request status)...

ora901> lsnrctl start VL_dev_LISTENER

LSNRCTL for Solaris: Version 9.0.1.0.0 - Production on 26-SEP-2001 09:06:03

Starting /dev_tools/oracle/product/9.0.1/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...

The command completed successfully

I have never seen the "status UNKNOWN" message. Is this something simple I am doing wrong?

The following is my listener.ora file

VL_dev_LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = VL_dev_EXTPROC))
      )


      (ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ivserv5)(PORT = 10010))
      )

)
)

SID_LIST_VL_dev_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /dev_tools/oracle/product/9.0.1 )
(PROGRAM = extproc)

    )
    (SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /dev_tools/oracle/product/9.0.1 )
(SID_NAME = VL_dev )

    )
   )

Any help or ideas would be great....

P.S. The listener is up and running, it just gives the "status UNKNOWN" message. Received on Wed Sep 26 2001 - 08:11:32 CDT
