Hi Jeremiah!Thanks for your reply. I guess I still am quite a newbee when it comes to AMIs and AWS.

Why don't you want to use the Oracle AMIs? ASMlib and everything just works. If you want 11.2 you can just download it to an EBS volume, and snapshot it to S3 when you are not using it.
I was under the impression that they had 11.1.0.7 installed already. But even if that was the case then I should be able to create another installation on top of that...
These AMIs are ready to install 11.2 with no modification:ami-087a517c oracle-corporation-eu/database-ami/32-bit/oracle_11107_EE_32Bit-image.manifest.xml ami-0a7a517e oracle-corporation-eu/database-ami/32-bit/oracle_11107_SE_SE1_32Bit-image.manifest.xml ami-5e7b502a oracle-corporation-eu/database-ami/64-bit/oracle_11107_EE_64Bit-image.manifest.xml ami-587b502c oracle-corporation-eu/database-ami/64-bit/oracle_11107_SE_SE1_64Bit-image.manifest.xmlI am really surprised the Rightscale AMIs are not suitable. I use them habitually and build out Oracle on them. What AMI IDs are you having trouble with? These should work:
I am still getting to grips with the whole thing, and when I terminatedthe instance I lost all information about the AMI. If I remember correctly that particular AMI claimed to be centos 5.2 64bit but was messed up with multiple kernels, running of an fc8core kernel.
ami-5084ac24 rightscale-eu/CentOS_5.2_x64_v4.2.4.manifest.xml ami-3284ac46 rightscale-eu/CentOS_5.2_i386_v4.2.4.manifest.xmlIf you have any trouble with Oracle on AWS let me know, I have made it work acceptably under a variety of configurations.
Thanks a lot, I'll try it now.
