While installing the grid software, I encountered the issue of " INS-40912 Virtual host name xxxxx is assigned to another system on the network". It took me a while to realize, that I actually have the IP set on one of my eth interfaces as well as in the /etc/hosts file of the VIP IP section, it has been assigned to the VIP. So. the error did not lie about it. I had 2 IPs co-existed on the eth2 and also the /etc/hosts's VIP section. If you run into this issue, just make sure the IPs on the VIP section are not used or assigned to anything within the RAC or on the network. Normal ping on the IPs and name should help narrow down the issue. The chance of the later is low as during the setup, the installation will locate unused IPs for the VIP.
