Listener INTERMEDIATE status with "Not All Endpoints Registered" in 11gR2 RAC

When I issue clusterware services status resources command "crsctl stat res -t" it shows the listeners are in INTERMEDIATE status on node 1. The problem is caused by another listener defined statically in listener.ora,  using the same port and IP is running from the  ORACLE_HOME, started manually causing the default listener starting from GRID_HOME can not register its endpoint.

bash-3.2$ crsctl stat res -t

Solution for the above problem is, From 11g release 2 onwards all listeners should be running from GRID_HOME, listener and listener_scan(n) entry should be added automatically in listener.ora file.

1.Stop the listener running from ORACLE_HOME (RDBMS)

$/bin/lsnrctl stop
 
2. stop the listener from GRID_HOME

$/bin/srvctl stop listener -n node_name
$/bin/srvctl stop scan_listener -i scan#

3. restart the LISTENER and LISTENER_SCAN1  from GRID_HOME

$/bin/srvctl start listener -n node_name
$/bin/srvctl start scan_listener -i scan#

4. check crsctl stat res -t output, they both should show ONLINE status now.

Demonstration:

       
bash-3.2$ crsctl stat res -t

  3. In 11.2.0.2, both local and san listeners are running on CRS home.
    But Local listener is going offline often. Kindly suggest.
