Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Question re CRS installation and Redhat Linux Versioning
Greetings,
I realize this is an Oracle list but I am hoping someone may be experienced enough with Linux to assist me here. I am attempting to install CRS 10.2.0.1.0 on two separate clusters both running RHEL4 and configured identically. I can install CRS successfully but after installation some operations, srvctl stop nodeapps -n <node_name> for example, there are others, cause the CRS to 'hang' on one node. I have an SR open with Oracle (it's been a month now with no resolution) and they are finally coming to questioning the Linux installation which, as I understand it and according to the installation guide, the cluvfy utility and the RDA pre-checks is configured correctly but I am beginning to wonder.
First, The Redhat 4 must also be at RHEL AS/ES 4.0 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL or higher. On my systems uname -a returns... Linux barnaby 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 17:03:35 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux?
As to RPMS....

binutils-2.15.92.0.2-10.EL4

We have glibc-common-2.3.4-2.36 - oracle wants glibc-common-2.3.4-2

We have openmotif21-2.1.30-11.RHEL4.6 - oracle wants
openmotif21-2.1.30-11.RHEL4.2 (required to install Oracle demos)
We have libaio-0.3.105-2 - oralce wants libaio-0.3.102-1
As I understand it we are compliant. I am also concerned that the analyst working on the SR said "what I am concern is that the some of the packages required ends with EL4. I am not sure what the EL4 means, and I also am not sure what rhel4.5 means for control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.5." That comment concerns me a bit, I asked him to verify with someone in the Linux group. In the meantime if someone can confirm for me that we are in fact on a supported version and also answer the questions the analyst proposed I would be most appreciative.
Thanks.
