The private NICs can be different accross nodes but public must be the same (ER 5439875 filed). If the private NIC names are different, you can either configure them using oifcfg setif -node (rather than -global) for each node….in which case all RAC instances on the node will use the specified one. Or if you want to use CLUSTER_INTERCONNECTS init.ora parameter you set it for each instance to the IP address(es) you want that instance to use.
