Symptoms

A 10.1.4.0.1 OID consisting of two or more nodes was installed.
The cluster was then upgraded to OID 10.1.4.2.

Because 10.1.4.2 is a patchset, not a full release, it is not possible to add a new 10.1.4.2 node to the cluster. But attempting to add an additional 10.1.4.0.1 node to the cluster fails because the Metadata Repository has been upgraded to 10.1.4.2, and thus the 10.1.4.0.1 installer rejects it as being at an
inappropriate version.

• During the 10.1.4.0.1 install, the "Infrastructure Instance Configuration Assistant" fails.
• The following message is seen in the infratool_instance_jazn2.log:
