I just installed 7.0.12 on the same machine under the same OS. I wanted to leave V6 running while doing the 7.0.12 install but ended up being unable to. This caused me grief for a while as Oracle tech support told me I could leave V6 running while I did the Oracle7 install. I ended up having to shutdown V6 while I installed Oracle7. Once Oracle7 was installed I was able to start and run both V6 and Oracle7 at the same time. Note: I previously increased the number of semaphore sets and max semaphores per set and found I did not need to increase them further for the Oracle7 install.
