David, Thank you for the reply. I was not aware of SELinux until today. Googling has returned a number of sources indicating that when installing various pieces of Oracle, mostly OCFS but I haven't found anything specific to CRS, require SELinux be disabled. I haven't been able to find anything specific though, everyone just says disable it. Searching for SELinux in the oracle docs on technet returns nothing. Can you point me to any specific documentation about this? Thanks.
