Deploy Oracle 10g Grid Control Agent today again tried to deploy the Grid Control Agent. previously, it went quite smoothly. Today, the following error message suddenly appeared: Completed with Status = 255 Starting Oracle Universal Installer... checking installer requirements... checking operating system version: must be enterprise-4, enterprise-5, redhat-3, redhat-4, redhat-5, redhat-5.1, SuSE-9, SuSE-10, UnitedLinux-1.0 or asianux-1 Passed All installer requirements met. P Reparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from/tmp/OraInstall2013-03-21_08-07-42PM. please wait... completed with Status = 255 I suddenly thought that I did not delete the relevant information when I deleted the Agent during my experiment. So I tried the following: $ cd/u01/app $ cd ContentsXML/$ vi inventory. xml <? Xml version = "1.0" standalone = "yes"?> <! -- Copyright (c) 2009 Oracle Corporation.
