SYMPTOMS
While trying to install 11.2.0.3 RAC binary, runInstaller fails with below error:
[INS-35354] The system on which you are attempting to install Oracle RAC is not part of a valid cluster.

CAUSE
Due to missing node list / information in inventory.xml of central inventory.

Even The CRS flag set to TRUE for GI Home, the node details were missing in central inventory.

<HOME NAME="OraGI12Home1" LOC="$GRID_HOME" TYPE="O" IDX="1" CRS="true"/>


SOLUTION
The nodelist details are missing in inventory.xml file.

Execute below command:

cd $GRID_HOME/oui/bin/

./runInstaller -silent -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$GRID_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES={<nodename1>,<nodename2>}" CRS=TRUE LOCAL_NODE=<nodename1>

The above command does not require any downtime as it will update the central inventory.

Invoke 11.2.0.3 runInstaller.
