Modifying Oracle ASM Listener Port After Deployment
Understand how you can modify Oracle ASM listener port on Oracle Database Appliance after deployment.
In earlier Oracle Database Appliance releases, you provisioned your bare metal system with Oracle ASM listener port 1525 as the default and as the Oracle ASM discovery address port from DB systems. Starting with Oracle Database Appliance release 19.24, you can customize Oracle ASM listener port number as a postinstallation task. All DB systems that you provision after changing the Oracle ASM listener port number use the new Oracle ASM port number.
odacli modify-asmport -p any_unused_port_between_1024_and_65536
# odacli modify-asmport -p 1528
Note:
You can run theodacli modify-asmport
command only on
deployments where the bare metal system is on Oracle Database
Appliance release 19.24 and the DB system is on release 19.24 and
you use the DB 23ai clones available with Oracle Database Appliance
release 19.24.
