Issue

The OUI failed to check "Network" with the following message:

   Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Not executed <<<<
   Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned 
   public IP addresses.  However, the primary network interface on the system 
   should be configured with a static IP address in order for the Oracle 
   Software to function properly.  See the Installation Guide for more details 
   on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.

Research

There are 4 network interfaces eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3; eth0 is the main 
interface with a static IP.  The interface was configured using the 
following file -- /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Network:

   --- contents of "ifcfg-Network" ---
   DEVICE=eth0
   BOOTPROTO=none
   HWADDR=00:1E:0B:C8:24:78
   ONBOOT=yes
   TYPE=Ethernet
   NETMASK=255.255.255.0
   IPADDR=128.251.21.32
   USERCTL=no
   PEERDNS=yes
   GATEWAY=128.251.21.254
   IPV6INIT=no

It should have been named after the network interface name "eth0":

   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

instead of

   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Network

Solution

[root@oraem devices]# mv /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-Network \
>                        /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
reboot and restart Oracle Installer
