Before we can install Oracle 12cR1 on our new VM, we need to load additional RPM packages that are required by the Oracle database and grid.

Oracle 12cR1 12.1.0.1 2-node RAC on CentOS 6.4 on VMware Workstation 9 – Part I
Time Required: 60 minutes
Class Materials:
- 60GB of free disk
- An operational VMware Workstation 9 or later install
- CentOS 6.4 64-bit ISO install media
To create our Oracle 12c RAC database on VMware Workstation 9, we first need to create a Linux VM.
Oracle 12c will eventually be released for a multitude of platforms, but the initial release only support Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86 and Oracle Linux 6.4.
I don’t own a SPARC machine, so instead I am going to install Oracle 12c RAC on CentOS 6.4.
Oracle 12c RAC runcluvfy.sh error: prerequisites on this operating system distribution
During an install of Oracle 12cR1 RAC Grid Infrastructure on Red Hat or CentOS 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4, you run the runcluvfy.sh script to test node readiness and it fails with the following error:
ERROR: Reference data is not available for verifying prerequisites on this operating system distribution Verification cannot proceed
This is due to bug 15973656 which states that runcluvfy.sh cannot properly detect the Red Hat 6.2 and above operating system. The problem also affects CentOS 6.2 and above.
