Accidentally Exadata was installed with wrong netmask 255.255.255.0 instead of 255.255.254.0.
How to correct this mistake easily ?
Solution:
Correct manually client net /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bondeth0
and set right NETMASK=255.255.254.0
And same for mgmt net: ifcfg-eth0
then ... service network restart ...
As a result we obtained errors in clusterware components:
[root@ed02dbadm01 ~]# crsctl start resource ora.LISTENER.lsnr
CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.net1.network' on 'ed02dbadm01'

[root@ed02dbadm01 ~]# crsctl start resource ora.net1.network

CRS-2674: Start of 'ora.net1.network' on 'ed02dbadm02' failed
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
The root cause is the 'ora.net1.network' component.
Look at it carefully:
[root@ed02dbadm01 ~]# crsctl stat res ora.net1.network -p
...
USR_ORA_IF=bondeth0
USR_ORA_NETMASK=255.255.255.0
USR_ORA_SUBNET=172.31.4.0
...
And correct the USR_ORA_NETMASK=255.255.255.0:
# crsctl modify resource ora.net1.network -attr "USR_ORA_NETMASK=255.255.254.0"
And now the problem is solved :
