User equivalence check failed for user "oracle" while running cluvfy

Question

Hi All,
I am getting User equivalence error as follows while executing cluvfy. I want to install CRS on this server.
oracle@node200$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n node200,node201,node202
Performing pre-checks for cluster services setup
Checking node reachability...
Node reachability check passed from node "node200".
Checking user equivalence...
User equivalence check failed for user "oracle".
Check failed on nodes:
node202,node201,node200
ERROR:
User equivalence unavailable on all the nodes.
Verification cannot proceed.
Pre-check for cluster services setup was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
I have sucessfully configured ssh and able to do ssh from all the nodes without prompting for the password. Also oracle uid and gid on all the servers are same.
I also checked in .kshrc file and there is no tty entry in that file. and I have also setup /etc/hosts.equiv file on all the node.
I still get the user equivalance error. Can anybody help me in this ?
Regards,
Raj.

Hi,
thanks.
i need some more help because first time i am working on RAC,
i am also having User equivalence check failed for user "oracle"
i got two machines, one is IBM machine and one is DELL machine installed with solais 10 (AIX installation). both machines are not connected by private network now. and no shared external HDD available now. it will take one week time to set up the HW. the user equivalence check depends the above two factors?
now public network is available and node reachability test "passed"
could you please tell me what may be the reason for the user equivalence check in my case. details are given below
i have oracle user in both machine. user creation done through SMC. home directory is /export/home/oracle
the following are the details.
1) $ ssh pc000905 id -a oracle
Enter passphrase for key '/home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa':
uid=100(oracle) gid=300(oinstall) groups=301(dba)
$ ssh pc026376 id -a oracle
Enter passphrase for key '/home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa':
uid=100(oracle) gid=300(oinstall) groups=301(dba)
2) user nobody exists.
3) all files n .ssh directory have same permissions.
4) ssh and scp is working with out password(rsa and dsa keys generated).
5) oracle user is using bourne shell
6)soft link of /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/bin/scp are created to /export/home/oracle/bin
7)ForwardX11 is "yes" in sshd_config
8) created a config file in .ssh directory and ForwardX11 is "no" in that file
8) umask =022 in both nodes.
error displaying is
$/export/gome/cluvfy/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n pc026376,pc000905
