Normally, if ohasd.bin is already up, CRS-4640 will be reported if another start up attempt is made.
However; in this case, it is obvious that you have a communication problem. As you see that network related error in CSSD logs, then it is better to solve it first. (it is seen in "crsctl start cluster output", as well.)
You are facing problem almost in the first stages of a grid start.. (you are failing while communicating cssdagent - Agent responsible for spawning CSSD.THis means you are failing while starting CSSD.)

Do you have problem with your private interconnect interfaces?
Please check those. (check if they are up, check if they are up with correct IP addresses)
Check this note as well: GI Fails to Start as no Private Network Interface is Available (Doc ID 1481176.1)

Send me the logs, and the state of your private network interfaces for further diagnostics.

Note that: Your Cssd agent may not be running or can not be started as well. You should check OHASD logs, as well, if it is the case. (OHASD spawns cssd agent)
