Symptoms

Install Oracle Restart by "Install and Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server"  option in OUI launched from runInstaller,  the progress fails at 88% which is during 'Oracle Net Configuration Assistant' step.

The 'Oracle Net Configuration Assistant' step is pending for a long time.

Checking $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/netca/trace_<Oracle Restart Home Name>-<timestamp>.log and see that netca continues to find an usable end point but fails:

The message repeats for port 1521 to 1540 so brings the symptom of pending in above trace log:
