VIP not accessible
602778Oct 22 2007 — edited Oct 24 2007I have configured the oracle clusterware on SuSE 10 with no error. All the services and resources are well created and up including VIP. The issue is the when I try to ping VIP from nay other server it is not reachable where as on the servers their selves both VIPs are responding to itself only.
That is
Oradb1-vip is responding on oradb1 but not from oradb2 or any other system
Oradb2-vip is responding on oradb2 but not from oradb1 or any other system
The IPs are as follows:
Oradb1 172.16.4.210 255.255.0.0
Oradb1-vip 172.16.4.212 don’t know assigned by clusterware installer
Oradb2 172.16.4.211 255.255.0.0
Oradb2-vip 172.16.4.213 don’t know assigned by clusterware installer
Could it be that installer has given the subnet mask of VIPs as 255.255.225.0 rather then 255.255.0.0
Or some firewall in OS is blocking to have VIP access from outside where as locally assigned IPs are being accessed from outside i.e oradb1 and oradb2 are accessible from each other.
