VIP's not starting after Clusterware upg from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4, AIX

Question

Hello:
After Clusterware upgrade, VIP's are not starting, with following error:
env ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME=/oracrs/crs/or.4/app
/oracrs/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/app/bin/racgeut -e USRORA_DEBUG=1 54
/oracrs/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/app/bin/racgvip start sblaidb1
clsrclogini : clsdinit failed, rc = 2 ecode = 7
We are in the process of going live for Monday and there is no Metalink. Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi buddy,
I had a similar problem and I hit the BUG:8413088 (Metalink note 805536.1) after I had applied the patchset 10.2.0.4 in the environment.
To correcting the problem I've only changed the script $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/racgvip and changed the lines bellow
from
O1=`$NETSTAT -n -I $IF | $AWK "{ if (/^$_IF/) {print \\$5; exit}}"`
O2=`$NETSTAT -n -I $IF | $AWK "{ if (/^$_IF/) {print \\$5; exit}}"`
to
O1=`$NETSTAT -n -I $IF | $AWK "{ if (/^$_IF/) {print \\$6; exit}}"`
O2=`$NETSTAT -n -I $IF | $AWK "{ if (/^$_IF/) {print \\$6; exit}}"`
If it works, You will confirmt that You are hitting thi bug and can apply the patch for BUG 8341679 ( I hadn't applied this patch, I only had changed the script at all).
Hope it helps,
