The Oracle Grid Infrastructure process 'string' failed to establish Oracle Grid Interprocess Communication (GIPC) high availability connection with remote node 'string'.

Cause

The reason for this issue was one of the following:

  • Multicast interfaces were not working as expected and, therefore, the GIPC daemon on the local node failed to establish the GIPC high availability bootstrap connection with the remote node GIPC daemon.
  • The GIPC daemon failed to start on either the local node or the remote node.
  • The firewall configuration was preventing communication between the two nodes.

Action

(a) Execute the cluvfy binary on the local node and check the multicast functionality between the local node and the remote node. (b) If multicast is working fine, then check the status of the GIPC daemon on both of the nodes. Check the alert log on both of the nodes for GIPC daemon issues. (c) Execute the cluvfy binary on the local node and check the transmission control protocol/user datagram protocol (TCP/UDP) connectivity between the local node and the remote node.
