在Oracle中，RAC中REMOTE_LISTENER的作用是什么？
♣ 答案部分
REMOTE_LISTENER参数主要用于RAC环境中监听器的远程注册，监听器的远程注册主要用于实现负载均衡。通常情况下，客户端发出的连接请求会首先被LOCAL_LISTENER接收，然后由Master Instance来决定当前的连接请求应该由哪个目标Instance发出Server Process响应这个连接请求。在启用了负载均衡的情形下，Master Instance会将请求转发到负载较小的实例。如果此时Remote_Listener中指定的实例负载较小，那么当前的请求会被重定向到负载较小的Instance中来建立连接，派生服务器进程进行相应连接。
在RAC环境下不管是使用了默认的TCP和1521还是其他协议都建议配置LOCAL_LISTENER。REMOTE_LISTENER参数在RAC环境下非常重要，是服务器实现负载均衡的一个工具。在服务器端的连接中，Oracle NET通过remote_listener确定当前RAC中的远程监听和实例，以便分发连接。
RAC环境中的监听器可以分为本地监听器和SCAN监听器，分别对应LOCAL_LISTENER和REMOTE_LISTENER参数：
LOCAL LISTENER:本地监听器只能监听到运行在本节点上的数据库。RAC的每个节点上都会有独立的本地监听器，它会监听该节点的Public IP和VIP，而每个节点的实例在启动的时候也会向本地监听器进行注册，当然它也会向SCAN监听器注册，当VIP或者Public IP有连接请求的时候，本地监听器就接受处理并和本地实例建立连接。如果某个节点故障，那么其上面的VIP会进行漂移，但本地监听器并不会产生漂移。
本地监听器对应的设置参数为LOCAL_LISTENER。这个参数控制着本地监听器的注册，因为本地监听器的工作机制关系，通过本地监听器的数据库连接请求只会连接到本地节点的实例上。
SCAN LISTENER:SCAN监听器可以监听到集群中运行的所有数据库，它是实现SCAN负载均衡的原理所在。如果RAC上有三个SCAN VIP，那么SCAN监听器也有三个，它们各自监听SCAN VIP的连接请求。SCAN监听器跟着SCAN VIP随机分配到节点服务器上，如果某个节点发生故障，那么运行在此节点上的SCAN VIP会进行漂移，这时候SCAN监听器也跟着漂移到正常的节点上，继续为SCAN VIP监听连接请求。当PMON进程下次动态更新实例信息到该SCAN监听器之后，它又重新接收客户端的连接。这和VIP产生漂移的时候是有所区别的。
SCAN监听器对应的设置参数为REMOTE_LISTENER。通过设置这个参数，任何数据库实例都会向SCAN监听器注册，主要用于注册远程数据库实例，所以SCAN监听器能够负载均衡地分发连接请求到节点本地监听器上，也就是连接到其本地节点上实例上。
修改远程监听参数REMOTE_LISTENER，值为“SCAN Name:port”：
1alter system set remote_listener='raclhr-11gR2-scan:1521' sid='*';
修改远程监听端口scan端口：
1srvctl modify scan_listener -p 1522
