PRVF-0002 : Could not retrieve local nodename

Issue:

While Oracle 12c Installation on Linux (my case OEL6 update 4) you could get an error.

Solution 1:

1. check hostname:

cat /etc/sysconfig/network | grep HOSTNAME

HOSTNAME = test.localdomain

2. check hosts:

cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

3. change /etc/hosts like:

127.0.0.1 test test.localdomain

::1 test test.localdomain

4. Run installer

Solution 2:

1. setup system variable like

$ ORACLE_HOSTNAME=test.localdomain
$ export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
