A search of My Oracle Support reveals: Nothing.
Check Network Connectivity
Could ping and ssh from GRIDCTRL to VICTORIA and vice verse.
iptables had no policies active on either node.
Change IP Address of DOM0
To avoid any issues with routing, I decided to move VICTORIA from 192.168.3.0/24 subnet to 192.168.1.0/24 one.
I changed the IP Address from 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.1.100, and subnet 192.168.3.0 to 192.168.1.0 in the following files:
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
/etc/hosts
Then I did:
service network restart
Same Result
I repeated the procedure in 04 Finish OEM Virtualisation Intallation with the new address for the OVM Agent, and got the same error.
