Installing Oracle Enterprise Linux 6

This is the procedure I used to setup Oracle Enterprise Linux on VMWare. The first step is to create a New Virtual Machine
The Installation can be either a CD or ISO image on the hard drive. I have used both without any issues.

Select Linux and in this case Oracle Enterprise Linux
 

I used the default name for the machine and the default location
 
The suggested space in 20GB, I increased this to 25GB and also used the splitting feature
 
The summary is used and no changes were made
After this the Installation follow’s from Oracle Enterprise Logic, Ctrl + Alt releases the mouse cursor and either Ctrl + G within the window or simply clicking inside gives you access once again. I skipped the Media test but this can be done.

Cancel or abort adop session

ADOP is in my opinion still pretty half baked. This is a critical tool that just isn't as intuitive as the old adpatch was. However we move with the times and get the hang of the new way of doing things. Along the way you might want to abort or cancel a patching cycling. With the two file systems and db editioning this can be a bit more to manage. I have learnt the hard way so you need to use the full cleanup after aborting a session. adop phase=abort adop phase=cleanup cleanup_mode=full

Creating new WLS domain ends with exit code 255

Cloning the instance I ran into this weird error. Was not sure what to do but after learning my lesson I dug through the error logs after seeing this in the adcfgclone log file.

Error during rapid clone on pasteBinary.sh, exit code 255

I needed to run a clone and was running into a really head scratcher. As is Oracle\'s way they sometimes enjoy giving us DBA's a bit of detective work to do. As usual I kept knocking my head into various brick walls instead of tracking back through the logs. Eventually I came up with the problem Start to configure the run filesystem. You can do a dualfs from AD-TXK Delta 7 but for now I just needed to get this up and running: perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier START: Creating FMW Home.
