Oracle RAC, unable to connect to node vip
I have a new oracle RAC installation running 11.2.0.4 on redhat 6. I can connect to sqlplus from a client using the node name but it is timing out when i use the node vip
eg. first one works, second one doesn't
sqlplus system/xxxxxxx@csya-orarac1.xxxx-dmz.local:/dev1.xxxx-dmz.local
sqlplus system/xxxxxxx@csya-orarac1-vip.xxxx-dmz.local:/dev1.xxxx-dmz.local
i can successfully ping and run an nslookup against the VIP
the local_listener looks like this
local_listener string (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(AD
DRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=csya
-orarac1-vip.xxxx-dmz.local)(P
ORT=1521))))
i can successfully ping between the 2 node vip names from the servers themselves.
