to supported levels.

Oracle installation requirements.
If the script reports that a parameter failed, update your hardware configuration and run the script again.

Updating Your System Packages Using Red Hat Network
Red Hat periodically releases software updates to fix bugs, address security issues, and add new features.
You can download these updates through the Red Hat Network (RHN) service. See the Dell and Oracle
website at www.dell.com/oracle for the latest supported configurations before you use RHN to update
your system software to the latest revisions.
NOTE: If you are deploying Oracle on a single node, skip the following sections and see "Configuring and
Deploying Oracle Database 10g (Single Node)".
