Which version are you using exactly? Are all the required packages on the nodes (Oracle is very picky about this).

When you installed clusterware, did the vipca script run succesfully? Almost every cluster install I did, I had to rerun it manually from the last node in order to create the vip's succesfully.

It is absolutely crucial that all the IP adresses and hostnames are configured correctly in /etc/hosts on all the nodes before you run the install, otherwise you won't get it to function properly.

Or did you by any chance configure a second IP on eth0 manually by creating an ifcfg-eth0:1? I've seen that happen once before.

What does srvctl config nodeapps -n <node> show you, and is it what you expect?

BTW: an better way to shut down CRS is by crsctl stop crs.
