Hi there,

I'm setting up a RAC cluster in two Oracle Linux 6.1 Vm's under Virtual Box (per http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOracleLinux6UsingVirtualBox.php)

Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure on node #1 (ol6-112-rac1)

On the screen "Oracle Grid Infrastructure - Setting up Grid Infrastructure - Step 4 of 9", I have:

SCAN Name = ol6-112-scan

Public Hostname                       Virtual Hostname
ol6-112-rac1.localdomain       ol6-112-rac1-vip.localdomain
ol6-112-rac2.localdomain       ol6-112-rac2-vip.localdomain

SSH connectivity is working

Identify network interfaces...

   Interface Name      Subnet            Interface Type
   eth0                             192.168.0.0    Public
   eth1                             192.168.1.0    Private

Hit "OK"

When I click "Next", it gets to "Validating Public And Private Interfaces Across Cluster Nodes", then gives me this error:

[INS-41112] Specified network interface doesnt maintain connectivity across cluster nodes."

Details:

Cause�-�Installer has detected that network interface eth0 does not maintain connectivity on all cluster nodes.

Action�-�Ensure that the chosen interface has been configured across all cluster nodes.

Additional Information:
PRVF-7617 : Node connectivity between "ol6-112-rac1 : 192.168.0.111" and "ol6-112-rac2 : 192.168.0.112" failed

Summary of the failed nodes

ol6-112-rac2 
ol6-112-rac1 
ol6-112-rac1 : 192.168.0.111

===

I can't find any problems... what am I missing?

Thanks very much for any help!

Jerry
