Symptoms
Oracle Clusterware may not startup (root.sh on second node fails with "Failure at final check of Oracle CRS stack."), due to a firewall (such as iptables on Linux) configured on the cluster interconnect. Other symptoms include moderate to serious performance and stability issues, directly related to such firewalls. Examples are false evictions of nodes, 'IPC SEND/RECEIVE TIMEOUT' and slow/uneven performance.
