I was playing with Oracle 12.2 RAC and have successfully created database:
SQL*Plus: Release 12.2.0.1.0 Production on Mon Aug 28 19:04:48 2017
Copyright (c) 1982, 2016, Oracle. All rights reserved. Connected to:
Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit
Production SQL> select inst_id,instance_name,status from gv$instance;
INST_ID INSTANCE_NAME STATUS ---------- ---------------- ------------
1 rac121 OPEN 2 rac122 OPEN SQL>
However, it doesn't say "with real application cluster and partitioning
option". Before 12.2, all the included options were included in the
banner. Here is the 12.1 version, for comparison:
mgogala@umajor:~$ sql scott/tiger@local SQLcl: Release 17.2.0 Production

Release 12.1.0.2.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP,
Advanced Analytics and Real Application Testing options SQL>
What's going on? Not that it has any bearing on the DB functionality,
RAC works quite nicely, but the strange asceticism of the new 12c R2
banner has attracted my attention.
