Sysman link error when installing Oracle Database 11g (11.2.0.4) on Amazon Web Services EC2 Red Hat

Problem:

We downloaded and installed the following Oracle Database 11g (11.2.0.4) 64-bit on a newly created Amazon Web Services EC2 instances (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1).

These are the installation files:

• p13390677_112040_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip
• p13390677_112040_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip
• p13390677_112040_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip
• p13390677_112040_Linux-x86-64_4of7.zip
• p13390677_112040_Linux-x86-64_5of7.zip

• p13390677_112040_Linux-x86-64_7of7.zip

Upon installation, the OUI gave an error relating to sysman during the linking process.

The error in the OraInventory (/u01/app/oraInventory/logs/installActions2015-06-10_09-52-46AM.log) log file was:
