8 Connect to each node and verify that the private network and ssh are functioning correctly by typing:
ssh <private IP>
9 On each node, modify the /etc/hosts file by adding the following lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
<private IP node1> <private hostname node1>
<private IP node2> <private hostname node2>
<public IP node1> <public hostname node1>
<public IP node2> <public hostname node2>
<virtual IP node1> <virtual hostname node1>
<virtual IP node2> <virtual hostname node2>
NOTE: The examples in this and the following step are for a two-node configuration; add lines for each
additional node.
10 On each node , create or modify the /etc/hosts.equiv file by listing all of your public IP addresses or host
names. For example, if you have one public hostname, one virtual IP address, and one virtual hostname
for each node, add the following lines:
<public hostname node1> oracle
<public hostname node2> oracle
<virtual IP or hostname node1> oracle
<virtual IP or hostname node2> oracle
11 Log in as oracle , connect to each node to verify that the remote shell ( rsh ) command is working
by typing:
rsh <public hostname nodex>
where x is the node number.
