Oracle Database 11gR2 installation issue on OEL 6.4

AbhijitMay 24 2013 — edited May 29 2013
Hello Everyone,

I am facing an issue installing 11gR2 on OEL 6.4 ... Followed the link below and installed the oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/ginnydbinstallonlinux6-1845247.html.

However, after running through the steps of the GUI, it failed in checks. Basically it is asking for i386 rpms (unsure why?). I have downloaded the Oracle 11GR2 zip files for x86_64

Attached picture with the error :

Pl be aware that currently only 11.2.0.3 is certified with Linux 6.x - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e23558/toc.htm#CHDFHIEA - and 11.2.0.3 is only available on My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com) for customers with a paid support contract.

If you are using 11.2.0.1 then you will need to use Linux 5.x

Srini - I am trying to install 11.2.0.3 on OEL 6.4, not an older version. I think the check script is old and need to be updated.

Have you installed the Oracle-validated rpm ? Which version of Linux 6.4 are you using - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Which version of 11.2.0.3 - 32-bit or 64-bit ?

Yes, OEL 6.4 64bit, 11.2.0.3 64bit.

Then pl open an SR with Support - if everything is 64-bit, it should not be asking for 32-bit RPMs

I need to ask my DBA to open an SR. My contact within Oracle said that the check script need to be updated for OEL 6.4 and it was safe to ignore and continue with the installation. Applying the 11.2.0.3 patch now. Thanks for your time.
