You may turn off debugging with command : crsctl debug log res "ora.dbtest2.vip:0"
Start the VIP using srvctl start nodeapps again. This will create a log for VIP starting problem for 10.2 and above?version
in directory $ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/racg/*vip.log

From above we see the VIP:10.11.11.198 is correct however oracle function checkIf
is failing when trying to reach the default gateway IP:10.11.11.1
ChangesEither the default gateway has got changed to someother IP -or- It is on a different network from the client (the network where the VIP is configured on) -or- It is not being used anymore.
Cause
By default, the server's default gateway is used as a ping target during the Oracle RAC 10g VIP status check action.
Upon a ping failure, Oracle will decide that the current interface where the VIP is running has failed, and will initiate
an interface / internode VIP failover.
In above case, we used just one node for CRS installation, so the VIP coudn't failover to other nodes and thus reported additional error like :
CRS-1006: No more members to consider
CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.dbtest2.vip'.
Solution
10.1.0.4 and above introduced a parameter FAIL_WHEN_DEFAULTGW_NOT_FOUND in the file
$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/racvip to address this problem.
The following steps will fix the VIP starting problem for above mentioned scenario.
1- stop nodeapps
2- As root,
vi the script $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/racgvip and change the value of
variable FAIL_WHEN_DEFAULTGW_NOT_FOUND=0 .
3- start nodeapps and you should see the resources ONLINE
You may proceed with netca and dbca to create a RAC database after this.
