Thanks for your reaction, Steve.

I did try that. Even tried 'crs_start ora.ol01.LISTENER_OL01.lsnr -c ol01'

Both result in

Attempting to start `ora.ol01.LISTENER_OL01.lsnr` on member `ol01` Start of `ora.ol01.LISTENER_OL01.lsnr` on member `ol01` failed. ol02 : CRS-1018: Resource ora.ol01.vip (application) is already running on ol01

CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.ol01.LISTENER_OL01.lsnr'.

Kind regards,
