[WARNING] [INS-08101] Unexpected error while executing the action at state: ‘supportedOSCheck’
Install Oracle 19c RDBMS on Oracle Linux 8 – avoid
Oracle RDBMS 19c is now certified on Oracle Linux 8. Unfortunately the Oracle Universal Installer in Silent Mode fails when checking the OS version. My OS release:
[oracle@db dbhome_1]$ cat /etc/oracle-release
Oracle Linux Server release 8.2
Oracle Universal Installer in Silent Mode
The OUI installer in silent mode stops and shows this error message: [WARNING] [INS-08101] Unexpected error while executing the action at state: ‘supportedOSCheck’. There is no parameter available like -ignoreOS or whatever, but two workarounds.
Workaround 1
Set the OS parameter in your terminal to a previous version and re-start the Oracle Universal Installer.
export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL7.8
Workaround 2
Edit the file cvu_config which is located in $ORACLE_HOME/cv/admin, change the line from
# Fallback to this distribution id
#CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL5
to
# Fallback to this distribution id
CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL7.8
Save the file and re-start the Oracle Universal Installer.
