[INS-35354] The system on which you are attempting to install Oracle RAC is not part of valid cluster

As docummentation says

Oracle Clusterware 12c supports Oracle Database 12c and Oracle Database 11g release 2 (11.2.0.3 and later)

But if you will try to install relatively old DB software (11.2.0.3 my case) on the 12.2 Grid then you will get "[INS-35354] The system on which you are attempting to install Oracle RAC is not part of valid cluster":








The reason is simple: new 12.2 oracle inventory hasn't NODE_NAME lines !
For example new 12.2 central inventory:



And central inventory with NODE_NAME limes:



What you should to do ?
SOLUTION:  Add NODE_NAME to the inventory manually 

$ /u01/app/12.2.0.1/grid/oui/bin/runInstaller -silent -ignoresysprereqs -updatenodelist ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/12.2.0.1/grid "CLUSTER_NODES={ed03dbadm01,ed03dbadm02}" CRS=true
