Network Checklist for Oracle Grid Infrastructure
Review this network checklist for Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation to ensure that you have required hardware, names, and addresses for the cluster.
About Oracle Grid Infrastructure Network Configuration
During installation, you designate interfaces for use as public, private, or Oracle ASM interfaces. You can also designate interfaces that are in use for other purposes, such as a network file system, and not available for Oracle Grid Infrastructure use.
If you use a third-party cluster software, then the public host name information is obtained from that software.
