Thanks for pointing out the caveat and the fix too!

Just noticed this old thread.
FYI - I recently helped architect and manage an environment with a lot of
databases where two networks (and multiple RAC dbs per cluster) were the
standard for all deployments. There was a public network for client traffic but
data guard traffic went over a backup network. I believe our internal processes
were based on the note Raj mentioned [1063571.1]. This was all on 11.2.0.3 with
recent PSUs applied and it works very well.
There's only one problem that I remember. When adding a new node to a cluster,
the root.sh script which adds the node can't handle the extra network and
fails. It creates the second network but doesn't add the VIP, then attempts to
start the vips which fails. The workaround I found was to open a second
terminal window and run the following command while root.sh is running:
srvctl add vip -n <NODENAME> -A <NODE-BVIP-IP>/255.255.254.0 -k 2
Other than that, the second network worked great for us on 11gR2. It's all
managed by the GI clusterware so failover, listeners, etc work as they should.

You are welcome.
When I started putting my notes on WordPress I realised that the post's length
got out of hand a bit. Next pieces to follow end of the week and next week. I
had all of this written down in February but haven't come around posting it.
