 TNS-00583: Valid node checking: unable to parse configuration parameters

 

Check and get the loopback interface up and running and restart the listener. If it is not up, then enable it as follows.

#ifup lo  (this brings up the loopback interface)

 

[root@msdbadm01 ~]# ifconfig -a

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:2413323 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:2413323 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:165596646 (157.9 MiB)  TX bytes:165596646 (157.9 MiB)

When you got this error, check your /etc/hosts file, if the following entry don’t exist in the /etc/hosts file,

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost



 

Or  If you use oracle wallet , then remove manually added entries and set it up using ‘owm’ utility, which exist in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
