OEM 13C Installation fails pre-requisites are getting failed in REDHAT 6.8

We are installing OEM13C in REDHAT 6.8 and pre-requisites are getting failed due to the non-certified version.

The certification information on My Oracle Support lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 as a certified platform for "Enterprise Manager Base Platform - OMS 13.1.0.0.0". The certification information does not list any specific version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, such as 6.1, 6,2, 6,3, 6,4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, etc., it only says "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6".

However the EM 13.1 installation process doesn't recognize 6.8 as a certified version of RHEL 6. The error from the installer is shown below. The installer will not allow this to be skipped so the install can continue.

 



13.1 EM install does not support on RHEL6.8. This is taken care in next release of 13c OEM.

For 13.1 EM the following documentation bug is logged to get the OTN document updated with this information:
Bug 23328216 - 13c EM install on RHEL6.8 Fails

Workaround:

Once the GUI starts, check the /tmp directory where you will find something like /tmp/OraInstall<timestamp>/stage/prereq
Duplicate one of the sections under the OPERATING_SYSTEM tags and change the version to 6.8. Save it and then continue the install.


Good News is OEM 13.2 Released but Documentation not yet released.
