Hello,

We are having Oracle database 11.2.0 hosted on Redhat Linux 5.4.

Can anyone let me know the stable and supportable version of Redhat linux for the above mentioned oracle version.

Your suggestions are welcome

Thanks,

Hi,

This really depends on what OS versions Oracle supports for their product. According to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24326/toc.htm#BHCHGDIE, the Oracle 11g r2 product is supported on the following releases of RHEL:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 7
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 5 (with the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Linux)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (with the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Linux)

In other words, Oracle does not yet offer support for installing that product on RHEL7. Also, you might want to consider switching to RHEL6, since RHEL5 is already in the 'end of production' support phase (see Life Cycle Dates).

(...) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Support Information on Linux x86-64
Starting with Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.1.0.2), (...) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 are supported on Linux x86-64 systems.

You need to have at least that version to get support on RHEL 7
