In this post we are going to check the stage area version and going to build stage area. It will check if all the required zip files are downloaded and valid.

Make we have all the zip downloaded and placed at /stage.




Now we will unzip the startCD zip files.

After unzipping the above 3 zip files we will see a folder created with startCD name.

 [root@funoracleapps stage]# ls -ld startCD
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 4096 Mar 27 08:14 startCD

 Let's check the version of start CD.
Note: During installation rapidwiz might error with the unzip version if it higher than 5.5x.
The startCD provide us with correct version of the unzip. We will use same.

 mv /usr/bin/unzip /usr/bin/unzip_orig
ln -s /stage/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/unzip/Linux_x64/unzip /usr/bin/unzip

 Check version 
unzip -version
We will build stage now which will automatically take care of all unzipping all other zip file and checking its integrity.

 Go to below directory and run buildstage.sh

 [root@funoracleapps bin]# pwd
/stage/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin
[root@funoracleapps bin]# ls -ltr buildStage.sh

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 17325 Jan 20  2016 buildStage.sh




Press Enter

Select Option 1

Select option 2 as we are using Linux.
It was ask for the directory containing all the zip files.

WARNING: Insufficient free space in directory /stage to unzip all EBS installation media.Specify the directory containing the zipped installation media:

I have kept all the file as /stage location. I will pass the same path and hit enter. I will get some warning related to zip files which are missing. I don't wanted to install vision database so I skipped those zip to be downloaded and will proceed without it.
