RAC 11g install on RHEL5 network settings issue

680825Oct 7 2009 — edited Oct 7 2009

During the install of Clusterware the install fails, I think, on the network settings. This is my hosts file:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
#
# PUBLIC LAN WITH VIRTUAL IP ADDRESSES (ETH0)
#
10.90.0.140 racdb # public
10.90.0.142 racdb-vip # vip
10.90.0.141 racdb2 # public
10.90.0.143 racdb2-vip # vip
#
# PRIVATE 1 GB LAN (ETH1)
#
192.168.13.140 racdb-priv # private
192.168.13.141 racdb2-priv # private

There's no DNS server.

During the install, when adding the 2nd node, the OUI complains about the VIP addresses being used already. So I remove them from the hosts file. Then the OUI tells me this: Error Thrown when the ip address of the host cannot be determined.

Not sure how to proceed now but it seems I'm overlooking something.
