Well, I guess it's officiel. Although 19.7 Database is supported on OL8.2,
GRID is not.
Quote from my SR:
"AFD or GI or ACFS is not supported yet on 8.2".
Guess it's back to OL7 for me, for now.

Thanks. Yeah, that document seems to only apply to 11.2.0.4 and 12.1.0.2.
I have opened an SR with Oracle. I'll report back here if/when I get a

Well, I got the asmcmd afd_label command to work.
Now I'm getting:
- AFD-620: AFD is not supported on this operating system version: 'unknown'
I ran orachk -u -o pre and it passed with flying colors. No critical, error,
warning, or info messages.
But I'm stuck w/ AFD-620....

Thanks everyone for all the replies. Special thanks to Scott Canaan, for his
private reply. He has the solution to the problem I was facing. All the
buttons were greyed out on the gridSetup.sh window. Turns out, I was missing a
font. I installed it, and the problem was resolved. Specifically, I did:
sudo dnf install dejavu-sans-fonts
to get past that problem.
Now, I'm trying to get an AFD label on the initial disk that I need to
install/create ASM/Grid, and that's not working. It just quietly returns
without an error.
As to why I'm doing this, well, as I *rarely* get a chance to do upgrades, and
one is coming up soon, I was hoping to get on the latest version of O/S and
Oracle, so, Oracle Linux 8.2 and Oracle 19.7. I so rarely get a chance to do
the upgrade, when I do, I try to make the most of it. :-)
If anyone has thoughts on getting asmcmd afd_label GRID01 /dev/nvme1n1p1 to
work correctly, I'd appreciate it. As I said, right now, I'm not getting an
error, it just quietly returns and doesn't do anything.
Thanks,

Here’s what I created to run it on OL8 (inspired from Oracle maintained vagrant
setup), and used "CV_ASSUME_DISTID" => "8.2".

Nonetheless, as Mladen said, it is NOT worth your time. We never had to do this
hack in previous Oracle releases either. Until, Oracle fixes this, I told our
management - forget engineering, I wont even download it in corporate LAN. 😝

Did you try this ,
export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL7.6
I have silent scripts from Tim Hall that I adapted for Centos 8 and even
RHEL8.1 for installing 19.3 it worked the same .
you can check the below if you have all the rpms .

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up my first Oracle GI 19.7 on Oracle Linux 8.2. I had no
problem installing OL8.2 and UEK6 (which is the default kernel for OL8.2). I
also installed the oracle-database-preinstall-19c package, no problem.
My understanding is that 19c is supported on OL8.1+, but only with the 19.7
patchset. Apparently, you're supposed to be able to run giidSetup.sh, and it
will work for installation, but you shouldn't attempt to use it till you've
patched it to 19.7.
Well, when I run gridSetup.sh, (19.3) I first get a warning about O/S
compatibility. I click through it, and I get the first window, but, it's
totally blank, and the buttons at the bottom are all greyed out except for
'Help' and 'Cancel'.
Anyone run into this? Any ideas? I've been searching Google and MOS, but
without any luck, so far.
Help? Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
-Mark
