Hi ,

While setting up RAC11.2 on Centos 5.7 , I was getting this error during the grid installation:

PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.scan1.vip
CRS-5005: IP Address: 192.168.100.208 is already in use in the network
CRS-2674: Start of 'ora.scan1.vip' on 'falcen6b' failed
CRS-2632: There are no more servers to try to place resource 'ora.scan1.vip' on that would satisfy its placement policy
PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.scan2.vip

PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.scan3.vip

I figured that the scan service is able to run only on one node at a time. When I stopped the service on rac1 and started it on rac2 the service is starting.

But I think for the grid installation the scan service has to simultaneously run on both the nodes.

How do I resolve it?

Any suggestions please.

PS - I am planning to try with the patch 11.0.2.3 but it will be a while till i get access to it.

Till then can someone suggest a workaround?
