Starting DB software installation.
Since I am running out of time (five (5) weeks to go), I have decided to follow the best practices path completely. This means that I will be using ASM with the asmlib driver for the cluster filesystem.
I have configured the following disks:
| SCSI Address | Device | Size (Gb) | ASM Vol ID |
| 1:3 | /dev/sde | 8 | ASM1 |
| 1:4 | /dev/sdf | 8 | ASM2 |
| 1:5 | /dev/sdg | 12 | FRA1 |
| 1:6 | /dev/sdh | 12 | FRA2 |
The design here is to put the whole database onto ASM1 (with ASM2 as the other failure group) and the flashback recovery area onto FRA1 (with FRA2 as the other failure group). Bad physical design.
$ cluvfy stage -pre dbinst -n richmond1,richmond2 -verbose

In other words, the only problem is that cluvfy is stil complaining about no public IP addresses.
