Hello Mic,

The TNS-12533 error usually occurs when the protocol specific parameters in

the ADDRESS section of the designated connect descriptor in the TNSNAMES.ORA

are incorrect.Verify if the entries are correct with a simple connect string

SQLPLUS SCOTT/TIGER@SERVICENAME

If there is no issue for tns entries ,The next thing in a RAC configuration i will verify is the LOCAL_LISTENER and REMOTE_LISTENER settings.I have seen issues where this error is reported for incorrect LOCAL_LISTENER and REMOTE_LISTENER settings.

Thanks

Suvv

Mic,

Why are there two entries for Description in tns entry

<br />
(DESCRIPTION=(DESCRIPTION=<br />

You have mentioned that this entries are mentioned in alert log. Have you checked the client from which it is coming. Also as Suvv sugested try checking local_listener and remote_listener value. Note that if you are using scan (11gr2), remote_listener should be scanname:<port>
