This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5843155.
■ The following text of the section 2.6.1, "IP Address Requirements," in Chapter
2, "Pre-Installation Tasks," of Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle
Real Application Clusters Installation Guide states that the virtual IP address
(VIP) should respond to a ping command:
During installation, OUI uses the ping command to ensure that the VIP is
reachable.
The preceding statement is incorrect. Before installation, the VIP address
should be configured in DHCP or /etc/hosts, or both, but it must not be
assigned to a server that can respond to a ping command.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6017001.
■ Appendix H, "Database Limits" of Oracle Database Administrator's Reference for
