What is a SCAN name ?
Oracle introduced this new concept on 11gR2 version: it stands for Single Client Access Name (SCAN). Its purpose is to eliminate the need to change tns name entry when nodes are added to or removed from the Cluster. What does it happen when you have several client and you decide to add/remove a node? So you have to configure your SCAN name on your DNS otherwise...
you will get the following error. [INS-40718] Single Client Access Name (SCAN) name: RAC3-scan could not be resolved.
From the previous screenshot, click add to add configure the second node.
Specify public and private interconnection.
A new feature: it's now possible to select ASM to place OCR and voting disks.

Select ASM password
I didn't use IPMI (the Intelligent Platform Management Interface)
At this time I didn't create the "Oracle Base" directory
So I created it manually
On both nodes
Execute the scripts as root user
The output of the scripts...
