RE: Installing Oracle 19c (19.7) on Oracle Linux 8.2......

Interestingly, if you inspect installer tracefile. One of check is, if CV_ASSUME_DISTID is >= 8

Here’s what I created to run it on OL8 (inspired from Oracle maintained vagrant setup), and used "CV_ASSUME_DISTID" => "8.2".

Nonetheless, as Mladen said, it is NOT worth your time. We never had to do this hack in previous Oracle releases either. Until, Oracle fixes this, I told our management - forget engineering, I wont even download it in corporate LAN. 😝

Thanks,
Yogi

Did you try this ,
export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL7.6
I have silent scripts from Tim Hall that I adapted for Centos 8 and even RHEL8.1 for installing 19.3 it worked the same . you can check the below if you have all the rpms . https://github.com/brokedba/vagrant/blob/master/database/cent8_19/scripts/install_os_packages.sh<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_brokedba_vagrant_blob_master_database_cent8-5F19_scripts_install-5Fos-5Fpackages.sh&d=DwMFaQ&c=SsZxQMfaWJ1sSVfloc5FVGba8BA_qR4Jzdt8ol2oSPA&r=z73EKtGMkOyHMZwSjVYW8xqUyA1Kkf-CJ-c3rGZxafU&m=wii9hBStF1ZOuhE_Twr_Rzt57SnmzDiFLj9OGqPnEaU&s=yIgLm8CGojpl_ibGj5uQVG5CAkpFxEOwFCrG2AyGXiU&e=> https://github.com/brokedba/vagrant/blob/master/database/cent8_19/scripts/oracle_software_installation.sh<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_brokedba_vagrant_blob_master_database_cent8-5F19_scripts_oracle-5Fsoftware-5Finstallation.sh&d=DwMFaQ&c=SsZxQMfaWJ1sSVfloc5FVGba8BA_qR4Jzdt8ol2oSPA&r=z73EKtGMkOyHMZwSjVYW8xqUyA1Kkf-CJ-c3rGZxafU&m=wii9hBStF1ZOuhE_Twr_Rzt57SnmzDiFLj9OGqPnEaU&s=PU7nDPzUV-QI0i3o4NgtxXQ4y-_HVxfBKN83v4Z8kJ4&e=>

I'm trying to set up my first Oracle GI 19.7 on Oracle Linux 8.2. I had no problem installing OL8.2 and UEK6 (which is the default kernel for OL8.2). I also installed the oracle-database-preinstall-19c package, no problem.

My understanding is that 19c is supported on OL8.1+, but only with the 19.7 patchset. Apparently, you're supposed to be able to run giidSetup.sh, and it will work for installation, but you shouldn't attempt to use it till you've patched it to 19.7.

Well, when I run gridSetup.sh, (19.3) I first get a warning about O/S compatibility. I click through it, and I get the first window, but, it's totally blank, and the buttons at the bottom are all greyed out except for 'Help' and 'Cancel'.

Anyone run into this? Any ideas? I've been searching Google and MOS, but without any luck, so far.

Help? Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,

-Mark
