Hi Anand
Can you please control the following points please?
That on node1 in the /etc/hosts file the name of the private interconnect exist. But on node2 or the failing node it's missing the private interconnect in the /etc/hosts file. That should be the reason why the issue occurs.
Solution of The Problem might be to :
1. Add the missing hostnames to /etc/hosts
2. Stop and start CRS stack
Please confirm that this solves your issue.
thanks
