Relevance to the Issue 

Script failed because the following ports weren't available:

AdminServer(7021),oacore_server1(7221),forms_server1(7421),oafm_server1(7621),forms-c4ws_server1(7821)

Cause 

Clone was configured with a public ip address in /etc/hosts.

Solution 

Generally, a public ip address is not bindable in cloud setup.
Only private ip addresses are bindable.

1. Ensure a valid backup exists of the /etc/hosts file.
2. Configure /etc/hosts with PRIVATE ip addresse and redo the application tier cloning.
