Metalink note 823586.1 - EBS Migration of 11i to RAC with 11gR2.

Question

Has anyone managed to decipher this note relating to the setup for Autoconfig - I am specifically interested in Section 3.7 Step 7 thru 9 - if we follow the steps given we are unable to get the adbldxml.pl to connect to the database.
It seems to relate to the setup of the listeners - but the documentation provided is extremely poor to say the least. Or has anyone produced a set of documentation that actually works ??
Environment is:
11.5.10.2 - AutoConfig enabled single instance converted to RAC/ASM using rconfig (this all worked great).
Database: 11.2.0.1
Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.1
Platform Solaris 10.
Thanks - Jonathan

Starting context file generation for db tier..
Using JVM from /u01/oracle/acoserv/ACOSERVrac/11.2.0/jdk/bin/java to execute java programs..
The log file for this adbldxml session is located at:
/u01/oracle/acoserv/ACOSERVrac/11.2.0/appsutil/log/adbldxml_05181254.log
AC-20010: Error: File - listener.ora could not be found at the location:
/u01/oracle/acoserv/ACOSERVrac/11.2.0/network/admin/ACOSERV1_finsdb137/listener.ora
indicated by TNS_ADMIN. Context file can not be generated.
Could not Connect to the Database with the above parameters, Please answer the Questions below
Enter Hostname of Database server: finsdb137
Enter Port of Database server: 1521
Enter SID of Database server: ACOSERV1
Could not Connect to the Database : Got minus one from a read call
When I do a check of the listener status - we are using clusterware so at this stage in the migration document the only listener we have running is the standard listener on 1521:
lsnrctl status LISTENER

The command completed successfully
We think we have found a workaround - which is to shutdown the original EBS listener ACOSERV, copy the listener.ora file to the new $TNS_ADMIN directory for RAC, edit it and change the SID_LIST to include ACOSERV1 and then start this new listener ACOSERV from this new location - this allows us to connect to the db - but there is nothing in the document about doing any of these steps, so we think it is a bit of a hack - want to know if anyone else has come across a final solution.
