Pre-installation cluvfy check fails on local nodes

Question

I am setting up a RAC cluster in Oracle 11.2.0.3 on two Windows 2008R2 nodes.
I have completed all the pre-installation tasks (I hope) and would like to verify this by running:
cluvfy comp sys -p database -n all
using the standalone download of cluvfy - I haven't installed any Oracle software as yet.
This completes successfully on the remote node but fails on the local node (whichever one I run it from).
There is a lot of output but these seem to be the key problems:

However, there is a folder in the temporary destination call oraremservice and there are DLL files and the RemoteExecService.exe in there.
In the temp directory there are a number of log files called e.g. sprvmcli_9885533.log (the number is generated uniquely each time),
When running against the local node, these contain the following:
10/01/13 14:44:42 Trying to open a named pipe
10/01/13 14:44:42 About to open pipe
10/01/13 14:44:42 calling create file
10/01/13 14:44:42 Error opening the pipe 5
10/01/13 14:44:42 sprvcli: retval = 7
When the cluvfy runs successfully against the remote node, this has much more information in, and the errors do not occur.
Am I using the cluvfy utility incorrectly for this stage of the operation, or is there something wrong with my setup?

Answer 1

first Confirm the connectivity between all of the nodes:
Cluvfy comp nodecon –n all –verbose
