If you encounter problems during installation, then click
Details to examine the log file. The log file is located in the Oracle Inventory directory with a name that includes the time stamp (
date_time) of the installation process, as shown in this example:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActionsdate_time.log
In the preceding example, the variables date and time represent the date and the time of the log file.
Caution:
The Oracle home name and path that you provide during database installation
must be different from the home that you used for the Oracle Grid Infrastructure software. DO NOT install the Oracle Database with Oracle RAC software into the same home in which you installed Oracle Grid Infrastructure software.
Note:
Because Oracle ASM is part of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home, it cannot be upgraded during an Oracle RAC installation.
