NOTE: You must install the missing RPMs to install the Oracle Grid and
Database successfully.
– Automatically using Online Operating System Channel Repository
(RHN/ULN)
—Choose this option if your system is connected to
either Red Hat's RHN or Oracle's ULN network according to your
operating system. This option is the recommended method since the
missing RPMs and the inter dependencies are automatically resolved,
downloaded and installed on your system from the Operating System
Channel. Also, the Operating System Channels always provide the
latest versions of the missing RPMs.
–
Automatically using Operating System DVD-ROM/ISO media —
Choose this option if your system is not connected to Red Hat's RHN
or Oracle's ULN network. This method automatically resolves the
required missing RPMs from either a local operating system media or
an operating system media on the network. The script provides the
following three options to select the type or the location of the
operating system media:
•
DVD-ROM —Choose this option if you have installed the
operating system using the operating system DVD media or
would like to resolve the missing RPMs using the Operating
System DVD-ROM.
•
LOCAL-ISO image (.iso) on local HDD or
USB Drive
—Choose this option if you want to use an .iso image
of the operating system DVD that is located on the local hard
drive or on an external USB or a flash drive to resolve the missing
RPMs.
•
NETWORK- ISO image (.iso) on a remote
NFS Server
—Choose this option if you want to use an .iso image
of the operating system DVD that is located on an NFS server to
resolve the missing RPMs.
NOTE: The script does not support SAMBA share or any remote server that
needs authentication to mount the directories. Ensure that the server and
directory that you specify do not require authentication.
– Manually —Choose this option if you want to manually resolve the
missing RPMs. Choosing this option quits the script.
