I am installing Oracle 12.2 on AIX 7.1. I have set my host name to prod-ora-db-svr1 and my /etc/hosts file contains the correct entry 192.168.x.x prod-db-svr1.
When I run gridSetup.sh, and I choose Software Only installation, it selects my hostname properly, but when I click NEXT it pops up error: [INS-40954]Local node prod-ora-db-svr1.domain did not resolve to an IP address. Provide alternative name that resolves to an IP address.
I have edited the /etc/hosts file to include the domain part, and pinging both from from the prompt of the same machine resolves correctly to my IP address. With the domain part in the hosts files, the error changes to [INS-40937] The following hostnames are invalid: prod-ora-db-svr1.
Kindly assist.
Regards,
Kevin
