Installation of Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 in Oracle Linux 6 inside Virtual Machine

Do you know ..that 11.2.0.3 patch set is a full release..? 

There is no need to install 11.2.0.1 software

See this Note 1189783.1 : Important Changes to Oracle Database Patch Sets Starting With 11.2.0.2

"Starting with the first patch set for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2), Oracle Database patch sets are full installations of the Oracle Database software. In past releases, Oracle Database patch sets consisted of a set of files that replaced files in an existing Oracle home. Beginning with Oracle Database 11g Release 2, patch sets are full installations that replace existing installations."

The software can be downloaded from My Oracle support: Patch:10404530

Please select your platform before downloading (Click on "Platform or Language" drop down menu)

You can check README and download the modules u need like RAC, database, etc.. as i only need grid/Clusterware, database . I downloaded parts 1,2,3
