An error is reported when Oracle is installed in Linux, which causes runInstaller to fail to solve the problem.

Linux installation Oracle Reports Checking operating system version must be RedHat-3, SUSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLin:

In the process of installing oralce in Linux, if the Linux release version is not the recommended version of oracle, the following error may be reported, causing the runInstaller to fail:

Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
Failed <

You can solve this problem in the following two ways:

1. Modify the Linux release tag

For example, when installing oracle on a redhat-5, you need to change the contents of the '/etc/redhat-release' file from

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)

Change

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 4 (Tikanga)

2. Add the-ignoreSysPreReqs parameter to runInstaller, for example:

./RunInstaller-ignoreSysPreReqs

However, this method is not recommended because it may miss the detection of Kernel Parameters of the operating system and required packages of oracle.

When installing ORACLE for 10 Gb, report the operating system version check failure case

[Environment )〗

OS: solaris 9

DB: Oracle 10G

[Symptom )〗

After the./runInstaller is executed, the following error is reported:

Checking installer requirements ......

Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.10

Exiting Oracle Universal Installer, log for this session can be found

/Tmp/OraInstall2005-11-12_09-45-32AM/installActions2005-11-12_09-45-32AM. Log

The above prompt shows that the version check of the operating system failed.

Cause of Cause )〗

This is a small oracle bug.

Oraparam. ini is an initial installation file during installation. It sets some parameters during installation. During installation, Oracle Software Installer will read the content of this file. Understanding the content of this file can help us solve some difficult problems during the installation process. Generally, you do not need to modify the content of this file. This file is located in the subdirectory install of the decompressed directory.

The installation prompt shows that it is related to the OS version number.

[Action (method )〗

Step 01: view the Installation Log.

When an ORACLE Installation problem occurs, first check the Installation Log. The Installation Log usually prompts us to quickly troubleshoot the installation failure. In this example, view the Installation Log/tmp/OraInstall2005-11-12_09-45-32AM/installActions2005-11-12_09-45-32AM.log, we found

Parameter Solaris = 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, no 5.10.

Step 02: Modify the oraparam. ini parameter by adding 5.10

# Vi install/oraparam. ini

DISTRIBUTION = TRUE

SOURCE = ../stage/products. xml

LICENSE_LOCATION =

JRE_LOCATION = ../stage/Components/Oracle. swd. jre/1.4.2.0.0/1/DataFiles

JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS = "-mx96m"

...... [Certified Versions]

# You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_M

ESSAGE

Solaris = 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10 (add 5.10 here)

Linux = redhat-2.1AS

# HPUX = B .11.00

Decunix = V5.1A, V5.1

AIX = 5.1.0.0

Step 03: restart the Oracle installer.
