Install Oracle 19c RDBMS on Oracle Linux 8 – avoid [WARNING] [INS-08101] Unexpected error while executing the action at state: ‘supportedOSCheck’

 I did encounter [INS-08101] Unexpected error while executing the action at state: ‘supportedOSCheck while trying to execute "./runInstaller"

while searching in different places I found that even though 19c is certified with OEL8 it required to be  7.8. In my oel it showed as below.

$cat /etc/oracle-release

Oracle Linux Server release 8.4
 

The expected value ideally for the oracle universal installer is 7.8 . Below workaround is mentioned in a blog post credits to "Deheime@Jurasüdfuss.SO.CH" 

Several options were mentioned and I chose below to get my OUI up and run 

$export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL7.8

using oracle user and immediately execute ./runInstller


All the best!
Shaamil.

Changing redo log Size

Redo logs cannot be resized on the fly we must drop and recreate them.This is the only method known to resize at the time this post is written. A database requires at least two groups of redo log files,regardless the number of the members. We cannot drop the redo log file if it's status is current or active. Initially the status need to be changed "inactive" before dropping the redo log member. Soon after a redo log member is drooped the file doesn't remove from the file system, instead it need to be separately removed from the file system. Step 1 : Check the Status of Redo Logfile    SQL>   select group#,sequence#,bytes,archived,status from v$log;      GROUP#        SEQUENCE#      BYTES    ARC STATUS ----------  ----------   ----------    -----  -------------          1          5  ...
