Hi

IBM p570 - power 6 processors
AIX 6.1 64 bit
HACMP 5.5
Oracle RAC 10.2.0.1

We are trying  to install the clusterware. Initially, the cluster nodes
wouldnt show up in the details screen.  Using the rootpre.sh for 10.2.0.3
'solved' that issue. The nodes were available and we were able to ediit the
private/public interface details etc.

root.sh complains of the en4 not being a valid public interface. That is a
known issue, and as recommended we manually ran vipca.
But vipca throws an error while trying to start gsd. Throws an

CRS-0215 (could not start resource ora.<host>.gsd on the local node.

This fails for both nodes. If we choose to ignore the error, the remaining
resources start up successfully. The installation completes with all
resources except gsd showing online. A manual  gsdctl start also fails.

Any suggestions from the group members ?? Has anyone face this issue before
??

Regards

Sanjay
