very annoying 11g OUI install error for the oracle clusterware

12833Dec 23 2007 — edited Jun 12 2008

Clean install of 11g RAC Clusterware downloaded from oracle site today

./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n lin1,lin2 -verbose
...everything passes just fine. Great. Time to install the clusterware.

[oracle@lin1]$ ./runInstaller
Installer starts, prerequisite checks are done for **Oracle 9.2 RAC and OCR*** Where did 9.2 come from?. All the checks succeed so... whatever...just move on.

I get a few screens to the "Specify Cluster Configuration" sceen.
I enter the following for the Cluster Name: lin_cluster
I enter the following for the 2 nodes:
Public Node Name Private Node Name Virtual Host Name
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lin1 lin1-priv lin1-vip
lin2 lin2-priv lin2-vip

Click next.....ack!! Error: "You must enter unique values for the public node name, the private node name and the virtual hostname for all nodes in the cluster. The name, lin1, that you entered is being used by more than once [sic] for the same node"

So, what to do? How more unique can the names be?

There is an option to "Use A configuration File..." and browse for it. Anyone know where that file is?

Any assistance much appreciated.
