error installing Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.3

it is the problem in creating a CVU* directory under /tmp directory at the time of 11gr2 installation as mention in the metalink Note 1268391.1

so this directory may exist but owned by other user so it may not able to reuse it.

check this doc for more info.

Thanks Paraveencpk,

I have tried removing the directory and it just recreated it with the following permissions:

drwxr-xr-x  2 oracle oinstall 4096 Oct  1 12:12 CVU_11.2.0.3.0_oracle

I have also tried creating asmdba, asmadmin, asmoper too see:

[oracle@localhost ~]$ id
uid=1100(oracle) gid=1000(oinstall) groups=1000(oinstall),1200(dba),1201(asmdba),1202(asmadmin),1203(asmoper) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

and it makes no difference, although I'm not using ASM so I'm not sure why this could be relavent.

Any idea?

can you share the logs to see what is excatly failling?

can you upload the full log from the above log we cann't identify what would have cause the error.

In my very first post i have pointed out that there may be a issue with files wiring to disk.

I resolved it by re uploading the files.
