While I know little of Oracle Apps to be able to answer this, perhaps a
'simpler' approach would be to set up the ip that is currently virtual al
physical on any one node and disable ipmp until the sysadmins fix the issue.
As far as I know, there is no need to relink the ORACLE_HOME for RAC. Oracle
(starting with 10g) is RAC ready always... you simply need to tell it which
nodes will be up.
