<P><FONT SIZE=2>Guys,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Finally the problem is resolved. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>From the tcpdump, my sysadmin could figure out that something was blocking the connection to go through from one node to the other.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It was found that there was some kind of firewall process running on both nodes, which was blocking IPTables from being routed correctly.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Once that process was shutdown, the connection went through and the devices could be mounted as shared on both nodes at the same time. I will now install clusterware on these nodes to make progress towards 10g RAC solution.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks to all of you who provided valuable suggestions and clues to resolve this problem.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Special thanks to Sunil Mushran for his insight into this product and prompt help !</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks and good night !</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>So, the connection is expiring. Hmmm...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>1. cat /config/cluster/<clustername>/node/*/ipv4_address</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Ensure the ips are correct. If you change the ips in cluster.conf,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>you need to restart the cluster for the new values to take effect.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>2. Enable tcpdump on that device and port on both nodes. See</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>if the connection request is can be tracked. It should be easy assuming</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>no other traffic on that interface between the nodes.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>3. Ensure you are on ocfs2 1.2.0.</FONT>
