NOTE: The Grid installation verify in your system the packages with name like “release” and wait exception only for three packages “redhat-release”, “rpmforge-release” and “release-notes”, if you have installed more then three packages with name like “release” the script of verification will fail, in this example the package is “epel-release-5-4”. Please follow bellow the workaround:

1. Clear the temp file of system version:

echo > /tmp/.linux_release

2. Backup of script :

cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib

cp -rp osds_acfslib.pm BKP_osds_acfslib.pm

NOTE: $ORACLE_HOME is grid path installation, eg: “/u01/app/11.2.0/grid”

3. Edit the script (this example with epel-release-5-4 package):

vi osds_acfslib.pm

After:

if ($release =~ /release-notes/)
{
next;
}

Add :

      if ($release =~ /epel-release/)
      {
        next;
      }

4. Try to install again

God Luck !
