  This is also an issue and valid workaround on 12.1.0.2

  In Oracle RAC 12cR1:
  ====================
  You must also check the content of the file called inventory.xml, for example in my situation:

  grid@ovmsol02:~$ cat /u01/app/oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml

  
  

  12.1.0.2.0
  2.1.0.6.0

  <==== This node was remove

  grid@ovmsol02:~$

  If this is your situation, that you forgot to execute the following command after execute $ORACLE_HOME/deinstall/desinstall -local, over the node to be deleted;

  grid@ovmsol02:~$ $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME CLUSTER_NODES=ovmsol02 CRS=TRUE -silent
  Starting Oracle Universal Installer…

  Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 11588 MB Passed
  The inventory pointer is located at /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
  ‘UpdateNodeList’ was successful.
  grid@ovmsol02:~$

  If you check the file inventory.xml;
  grid@ovmsol02:~$ cat /u01/app/oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml

  
  

  12.1.0.2.0
  2.1.0.6.0

  </INVENTORY
  grid@ovmsol02:~$

  You can see that just only the node ovmsol02 remain in the file.
  After that the message error:

  grid@ovmsol02:/u01/app$ $ORACLE_HOME/addnode/addnode.sh -silent "CLUSTER_NEW_NODES={ovmsol01}" "CLUSTER_NEW_VIRTUAL_HOSTNAMES={ovmsol01-vip.obe.com}" -ignorePreReq -ignoreSysPrereqs
  Starting Oracle Universal Installer…

  Checking Temp space: must be greater than 120 MB. Actual 9881 MB Passed
  Checking swap space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 11604 MB Passed

  Prepare Configuration in progress.

  Prepare Configuration successful.
  ………………………………………….. 8% Done.
