Oracle 10G RAC - Public & Heartbeat on 1 NIC

[bazengin]

Hello all,

actually I am installing Oracle 10G RAC on rhel 4 (4 node cluster). But the Cluster Verification Utility aborts with errors. I checked the configToolAllCommands and tried to run the failed commands manually:

#/opt/oracle/crs/bin/oifcfg setif -global eth0.100/172.18.0.0:cluster_interconnect eth0.728/172.16.128.0ublic eth0.498/172.17.1.0:cluster_interconnect

PRIF-50: duplicate interface is given in the input
PRIF-50: duplicate interface is given in the input
PRIF-50: duplicate interface is given in the input


Question:
Is it possible to put Public & Heartbeat on one NIC (eth0.728 & eth0.498)
If not is their any workaround for that issue?

You need at least two NIC to performa a RAC installation, recommended four
