Since I could not patch GI on OEL7U2, I decided to rebuild GORDON with OEL6U5.
On VICTORIA, I reinitialised the root disk as follows:
cd /OVS/running_pool/GORDON dd bs=1G count=50 if=/dev/zero of=root_disk
I updated /OVS/running_pool/GORDON/gordon.hvm on VICTORIA as follows to the ISO image from Victoria VM Resources:
'/OVS/iso_pool/V41362-01.iso,raw,xvdc,ro,cdrom',
On VICTORIA, I started the software installation as follows:
cd /OVS/running_pool/GORDON xl create gordon.hvm
I completed the software installation by connecting through Remmina on 192.168.1.100:5908. The installation was for a basic server.
On GORDON, I upgraded the software installation as follows:
yum upgrade -y -q
Followed the procedure in Use Pre-Installation RPM.
Followed the procedure, Update Security, in 00 Setup.
Followed the procedure in Use NFS for Oracle Software. There was no need to extract the software.
Followed the following procedures in 11 Correct GORDON Network Interface:
Followed the procedure in Install 12.1.0.2 GI Standalone. However, the modified key generation was used instead:
mkdir ~/.ssh cd ~/.ssh ssh-keygen -q -N "" -f id_rsa cp id_rsa.pub authorized_keys
The base for the software installation was /opt/share/Software/grid/linuxamd64_12102/grid/.
The DATA disk group was added during the GI installation. I Followed the procedure in Create New ASM Disk Group Using ASMCA to add the FRA disk group as /dev/sdc.
Followed the procedure in Install Oracle RDBMS 12.1.0.2 With Grid Infrastructure with the base for software installation as /opt/share/Software/database/linuxamd64_12102/database.
Followed the procedure in 12 Patch GI with PSU 12.1.0.2.161018.
Got the same error.
Since I now have a supported GI configuration, I have opened a SR with Oracle Support.
