Paul M. ,
I feel this question is still not solved.
content of listener.ora
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = test123)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
      (SID_NAME = test123)
LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
  )tnsnames.ora
TEST123 =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = SHARED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = test123)
  )yes, I can login that database test123. But lsnrctl status is UNKOWN.

The command completed successfullyis that cause of static pointing to that instance test123?
But why dynamic pointing is not work....
I feel very confused....
