Database Software

Hello,

I was trying to install Oracle 11g R2 grid on two Windows 7 enterprise (and windows 2008 server) in VMWare.

in each of Win OS, there are two network cards (bridged)

#1 card set ip to
192.168.2.20
255.255.255.0
192.168.2.1 - gateway

#2 card
192.168.10.20
255.255.255.0


and the host file likes:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

# public
192.168.2.20 rac1.adomain rac1
192.168.2.30 rac2.localdomain rac2
# virtual
192.168.2.21 rac1vip.localdomain rac1vip
192.168.2.31 rac2vip.localdomain rac2vip
# private
192.168.2.22 rac1priv.localdomain rac1priv
192.168.2.32 rac2priv.localdomain rac2priv

These two Win OS has same user admin name and password.

They can ping each other, ping rac1 and ping rac1.localdomain without problem, and net use \\rac1.localdomain\C$ no problem either; but if do nslookup, there is error:

c:\>nslookup rac1.localdomain
Server: UnKnown
Address: fec0:0:0:ffff::1
*** UnKnown can't find rac1.localdomain: No response from server

when installing Grid, in step 5 of 15, I got errors:

INS-40937 hostnames not valid


Note
I noticed the installation didn't allow me to specify IP address for any node (it's fixed to AUTO)

I'm wondering, where things went wrong? any thing I can try or any doc for installing on Windows VMWare?

Thanks

Regards,
John
