Linux rac1.testonline.com 2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek #1 SMP Wed Feb 22 17:37:40 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

oracle 11gr2.patch set 3 (p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64.......)

HP P2000 FC
2xHP DL380 2XFC (multipath)

Multipath ASM. (This is also a need lot of research )

/etc/multipath.conf
multipath {

alias asmora
uid oracle *************this is must be write in this file.................
gid oinstall
}



Both server same configuration DNS with reverse lookup work well from both server with oracle,root users
All setting correct asm , ethernet , ssh ...

./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1.testonline.com,rac2.testonline.com -verbose

rac2 failed
rac1 passed
PRVF-5636 : The DNS response time for an unreachable node exceeded "15000" ms on following nodes: rac2

Give a error like that.
