Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from/tmp/orainstall2015-02-15_07-23-12am. Please wait ... [[email protected] database]$ Usage:runinstaller [-options] [(<CommandLineVariable=Value>) *]where  Options include:-clusterware Oracle.crs,<crs version> version of Cluster Ready services installed. -crslocation <Path> used only for cluster installs, specifies the "Path to the" CRS home location.  Specifying this overrides CRS information obtained from central inventory. -invptrloc <full Path of orainst.loc> Unix only. To point-a different inventory location. The Orainst.loc file contains:inventory_loc=<location of central inventory>inst_group=<>-jreLoc < Location> Path where Java Runtime environment is installed.  OUI cannot be run without it. -loglevel <level> to filter log messages that has a lesser priority level than <level>. Valid options Are:severe, warning, info, conFig, fine, finer, finest, Basic, general, detailed, trace.  The use of basic, general, detailed, trace is deprecated.  -paramfile <location of file> specify location of the Oraparam.ini file to is used by OUI.  -responsefile <Path> Specifies the response file and Path to use.  -attachhome for attaching homes to the OUI inventory. -CFS indicates that the Oracle home specified are on cluster file system (shared). This was mandatory when '-local ' was specified so, Oracle Universal Installer can register the home appropriately into T  He inventory.  -clone for making a Oracle Home copy match its current environment.  -debug for getting the debug information from OUI.  -detachhome for detaching homes from the OUI inventory without deleting inventory directory inside Oracle home.  -enablerollingupgrade used in cluster environment, to enable upgrade of a product on a subset of nodes (on which The product was Installed).  -executesysprereqs Execute System pre-requisite checks and exit.  -force allowing silent mode installation into a non-empty directory.  -HELP displays above usage.  -ignoresysprereqs for ignoring the results of the system pre-requisite checks.  -local performs the operation on the local node irrespective of the cluster nodes specified.  -printdiskusage Log Debug information for disk usage.  -printmemory Log Debug information for memory usage.  -printtime Log Debug information for time usage. -relink for performing relink actions on the Oracle home Usage:-relink-maketargetsxml <location of M aketargetsxml> [-makedepsxml <location of Makedepsxml>] [Name=value]-silent for silent mode operations  The inputs can be a response file or a list of command line variable value pairs. -waitforcompletion Installer'll wait for completion instead of spawning the Java ENgine and exiting.  -suppressprecopyscript suppress the execution of precopy script.  -acceptuntrustedcertificates Accept untrusted certificates from a secure site.  -suppresspostcopyscript suppress the execution of postcopy script.  -noconfig does not execute config tools. -noconsole for suppressing display of messages to console.  Console is not allocated.  -formcluster to install the Oracle clusterware in order to form the cluster. -REMOTECP <Path> Unix specific option.  Used cluster installs, specifies the path to the remote copy program on the local cluster node. -remoteshell <Path> Unix specific option.  Used cluster installs, specifies the path to the remote shell program on the local cluster node.  -executeprereqs to execute only the prerequisite checks.  -ignoreprereq to ignore running the prerequisite checks. -ignoreinternaldrivererror to ignore any internAl driver errors.  -downloadupdates to download updates only. -showprogress to show the installation progress on the console. This option is supported only in case of silent installation. Command line Variables Usage command line Variables is specified using <name=value>;  For example: [Session: | Compname: | compname:version:]variablename= "valueofvariable"] Session/installer variables is specified using: [Session:]varname=value ex 1:session:oracle_home_name= "Orahome" ex 2:oracle_home_na Me= "Orahome" The lookup order is session:varname and then just varName.   The session prefix is used to avoid ambiguity. Component variables is specified using: [Compinternalname:[version:]]varname Ex 1:oracle.comp1:1.0.1:varname = "Varvalue" Ex 2:oracle.comp1:varname= "Varvalue" The lookup order is compInternalName:Version:varName and then Compint Ernalname:varname, then just varName.

You can see that there is not enough memory.
