Hi Nikita Michalko, thanks for your feedback/help... appreciated.
I have found the solution :) , so following are the steps to follow, for
installing Oracle in a Linux HA environment
Solution:
----------
server1 physical hostname = dbnode1
server2 physical hostname = dbnode2
cluster/virtual hostname = dbserver
on both hosts
# cat /etc/hosts
dbnode1 192.168.0.236 ## Phys hostname
dbnode2 192.168.0.238 ## Phys hostname
dbserver 192.168.0.245 ## virtual/cluster hostname and IP
before running the 'runInstaller', on dbnode1, temporarily set the physical
hostname of server1 from 'dbnode1' to 'dbserver'
# echo dbserver > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
then temporarily assign the virtual/cluster IP to the server1.
# ip address add 192.168.0.245 brd + dev eth0
now run the OUI(runInstaller), and place every thing(db, and oracle binaries)
on SAN.
Once the installation completes, remove the virtual IP and virtual hostname
from server1.
now before starting oracle, just assign the virtual IP, to the
node(either dbnode1 or dbnode2), and listner/oracle will start without
complains.. ;-)
Now I am able to start Oracle from either node(dbnode1, dbnode2) without
changing the physical hostname of any node(Linux HA requires unique hostname
for every member).
Now I am able to configure the Linux HA ;)
Regards

Hi Muhammad,
your problem is here a little bit out of topic though, but anyway:
you must change your listener address in the /etc/hosts and in listener.ora
for use with HA so that it listen also on the "common" HA-IP-address , e.g.:
( address = ( protocol = tcp ) ( host = HA-VIP ) ( port = 1526)
HTH
