Configuring private IP addresses for Oracle RAC 11.2.0.1
Private IP addresses are required by Oracle RAC to provide communication between the cluster nodes. Depending on your private network configuration, you may need one or more IP addresses. You can configure the private IP addresses for high availability using the PrivNIC or MultiPrivNIC agents.
Note:
The PrivNIC and MultiPrivNIC agents are no longer supported in Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later versions for managing cluster interconnects. For 11.2.0.2 and later versions, Veritas recommends the use of alternative solutions such as bonded NIC interfaces or Oracle HAIP. See Configuring private IP addresses for Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later versions.
IPv6 addresses are not supported in this release.
Table: Options for configuring the private network for Oracle RAC 11.2.0.1 lists the available options for configuring the private network for Oracle RAC. Use one of the following options to configure the private network.

Option | Description |
---|---|
PrivNIC configuration | Perform this configuration if you plan to use a common IP address for Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure heartbeat and Oracle RAC database cache fusion and you plan to configure the IP address for high availability using the PrivNIC agent. For instructions: See Configuring the private IP address and PrivNIC resource. |
MultiPrivNIC configuration | Perform this configuration if you plan to:
