Mammoth Upgrade Hangs on Step 1 Verifying the 'oracle' Password at "INFO: Checking password on node <HOSTNAME0x>" (Doc ID 2365425.1)

NOTE: In the examples that follow, user details, cluster names, hostnames, directory paths, filenames, etc. represent a fictitious sample (and are used to provide an illustrative example only). Any similarity to actual persons, or entities, living or dead, is purely coincidental and not intended in any manner. 

b) On the nodes where verifyLinuxPasswd.sh completes successfully the script can log into the host  as 'oracle' user with the password provided by the script via the next line which starts with "expect -nocase ...".

c) But on the nodes where the verifyLinuxPasswd.sh hangs:

i. The script prompts for a password i.e. it can not log in automatically with the password provided by the script. 

ii. And after the password is manually entered, verifyLinuxPasswd.sh hangs at the next line: "set waitval [wait -i $spawn_id]".

d)  Manual login as 'oracle' user to the host, however, is successful on all nodes.
