VIPCA - NO INTERFACE AVAILABLE(NATIVE:listNetInterfaces:[11])

While doing the RAC install, after running the root.sh file on both the nodes and while running the vipca manually we may encounter the following error.

ERROR:

Error: No interface available(Native: listNetInterfaces:[11])

SOLUTION:

Solution: On both the hosts you should able to do "nslookup" on vipname. For example if your vip name is configured in /etc/hosts file as below. # Public VIPs for RAC 1.2.3.4   node1-vip.sss.com    node1-vip 1.2.4.3   node2-vip.sss.com    node2-vip You should able to do "nslookup node1-vip.sss.com". If you get "nslookup" not found, you have to contact your network adminstrator to configure "nslookup" on these hosts.
