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 5.5 (Tikanga)

Change

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 4.5 (Tikanga)

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.
