Repeated the procedure in Richmond Cluster (16)
Before the reboot, I did (see pp.2-28 to 2-39 of Clusterware Installation for Linux):
# cat >>/etc/profile
# Oracle 10.2 Installation
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi

Rebooted richmond1.
Updated /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to set the gateway to 192.168.100.65 and restarted the network service.
When I ran the last script in OUI, I get:
# /u00/crs/oracle/product/10/app/root.sh
Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured
/etc/oracle does not exist. Creating it now.

Looks like I have to initialise the raw disks after reverting to a snapshot (because the disks are independent and persistent!).
Cancelled installation and reverted to snapshot precrsinst again. Repeated the above steps until reboot. Created a new script to initialise the raw devices (the values for count were obtained from the number of blocks reported by fdisk -l):
# cd /home/oracle/installation
# cat >init_raw.sh
#!/bin/sh
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1024 count=265041
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb2 bs=1024 count=257040
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc1 bs=1024 count=265041
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc2 bs=1024 count=257040
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd1 bs=1024 count=265041
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd2 bs=1024 count=257040
# chmod u+x init_raw.sh
# ./init_raw.sh
Shut richmond1 down. Deleted precrsinst snapshot and took another snapshot with the same name.
