Run Level Verification Check Failed: Installing 11g R2 on OEL 5.5
716603Oct 21 2010 — edited Sep 22 2011Greetings,
I'm encountering a problem installing Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0), 64-bit on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5 x86-64.
The Installer bombs out fairly quickly with:
[FATAL] [INS-13013] Target environment do not meet some mandatory requirements.
CAUSE: Some of the mandatory prerequisites are not met. See logs for details. /opt/oracle/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions2010-10-21_03-19-22PM.log
The installActions log shows:
INFO: *********************************************
INFO: Run Level: This is a prerequisite condition to test whether the system is running with proper run level.
INFO: Severity:CRITICAL
INFO: OverallStatus:OPERATION_FAILED
INFO: -----------------------------------------------
I've encountered this with the default run level set to both 3 and 5:
[root@server ~]# cat /etc/inittab | grep :initdefault:
id:3:initdefault:
[root@server ~]$ cat /etc/inittab | grep :initdefault:
id:5:initdefault:
What gives? I'm having trouble finding documentation to support this; however, I had thought I had read somewhere at one time that the default run level for Linux (RHEL or OEL) must be either 3 or 5 for an Oracle RDBMS Install.
Any suggestions or input would be most gratefully received.
