If the oracle user account is created using NIS-based authentication (Network Information Services), the Oracle VM Manager installation fails during the prerequisite check, and the following error is displayed:
Verifying installation prerequisites ... hardnofiles should be set to 8192 but was 0 Configuration verification failed ...
Or the installation may pass prerequisite check, but may fail later during the installation of the Application Development Framework:
Retrieving Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) ... Unzipping Oracle ADF ... Installing Oracle ADF ... Installing Oracle ADF Patch...
To workaround this issue, disable ypbind service and create a
non-NIS-based oracle user account using
createOracle.sh
on the host computer and
rerun the installer:
# /sbin/service ypbind stop # service ypbind status ypbind is stopped # ./createOracle.sh # ./runInstaller.sh
