anyone who encounters a similar problem, the answer seems to be associated with
note 270048.1, which deals with 9.2.0.5 using the 10g
OUI.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><FONT><SPAN class=187363804-18102005>

color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>The problem was that the inventory.xml file did not
contain both nodes in the oracle 10g home, however it did contain both for the
CRS home. This meant that both nodes were seen when the CRS home was selected
for a 10g install (which <SPAN class=187363804-18102005>of course
</SPAN>you can't do), but when the 10g <SPAN class=187363804-18102005>home
was selected only 1 node was visible.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

Installation<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've installed OCFS2 & CRS successfully on 2
RHES 4 nodes and now wish to install RAC into a shared home.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Node Selection page on the OUI only displays
node1 and goes through the installation without any reference to node2. Is
this correct or should both nodes in the cluster be detected and
displayed?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>There seems to be bit of a shortage of information
on how to install to a shared Oracle home: are there any specific steps for a
shared Oracle home, such as manually propagating files to node2, or should it
all happen automatically?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
