Bug 28650933

Installing and using Oracle Secure Backup 12.2 on Oracle Solaris 11.4 may fail if the library libnls.so is not available in standard system library paths, since the Oracle Secure Backup libraries depend on libnls.so.

Workaround:

Upgrade the Oracle Solaris OS version to Oracle Solaris 11.4.6.4.0. and then install Oracle Secure Backup 12.2. Alternate workaround is to copy the file /usr/ib/64/libnls.so.1 from an Oracle Solaris 11.3 machine to the /usr/lib/64 path in the Oracle Solaris 11.4 machine where Oracle Secure Backup 12.2 needs to be installed.

   Complete Oracle home path/gridSetup.sh
