Move ora.LISTENER.lsnr

Question

Hi gurus,
we have an Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 (2 nodes) in RedHat 5.3.
we had an old ORACLE_BASE with the old configuration of Oracle RAC, but we migrated some months ago for some problems and we have some parameters with /u01/app/oracle (old ORACLE_BASE) instead of /u02/app/oracle (new ORACLE_BASE).
For example:
[oracle@node1~]$ srvctl config database -d RAC -a
Database unique name: rac
Database name: rac
Oracle home: /u02/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_2
Oracle user: oracle
Spfile: +DATA/rac/spfilerac.ora
Domain:
Start options: open
Stop options: immediate
Database role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
Server pools: rac
Database instances: node2,node1
Disk Groups: DATA, F_R_A
Mount point paths:
Services:
Type: RAC
Database is enabled
Database is administrator managed
[oracle@node1 ~]$ echo $ORACLE_BASE
/u02/app/oracle
but when i do
[oracle@node1~]$ /u02/app/grid/bin/crsctl stat res ora.LISTENER.lsnr -p|grep -i base
USR_ORA_ENV=ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
[oracle@node1~]$ srvctl getenv listener
LISTENER:
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
so my idea is change the ORACLE_BASE doing (i look for that sentences in google and tahiti):
[oracle@node1~]$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl modify resource ora.LISTENER.lsnr -attr USR_ORA_ENV=ORACLE_BASE=/u02/app/oracle
i saw a different form to do:
[oracle@node1~]$GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl setenv listener -l LISTENER -t "ORACLE_BASE=/u02/app/oracle"
with form is the correct, or i must do both? should i restart the listener after execute it? or restart database?
sorry for my bad english and thanks for help.

Both are same and cane be used, but usually we use srvctl for LOCAL resource and crsctl for GLOBAL resources.
Since LISTENER is running on both the nodes and is a LOCAL resource,so suggest to use srvctl.
Also it can be done with following:
srvctl modify listener -l LISTENER -o /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
Oracle_home is /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 in my case
with form is the correct, or i must do both? should i restart the listener after execute it? or restart database?
Both method are not required. Restart of DB is not required but listener is.
