Solution

To resolve the issue, perform the following steps:

1. For “Typical Installation” of Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.4, use the following command:
#./runInstaller -J-Doracle.install.cvu.getSharedPartitionList=false \                        
-J-Doracle.install.cvu.checkSharedStorageFileSystemType=false \                  
-J-Doracle.install.grid.validate.QuickInstallUI=false

Note: The option "-J-Doracle.install.grid.validate.QuickInstallUI=false" skips validations on the "Specify Install Locations" page.
Ensure that you provide correct inputs for all the fields on this page, that is, manually verify the inputs before proceeding with the installation.

2. For “Advanced Installation” of Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.4, use the following command:
# ./runInstaller -J-Doracle.install.cvu.getSharedPartitionList=false \                               
-J-Doracle.install.cvu.checkSharedStorageFileSystemType=false \                   
-J-Doracle.install.grid.validate.OCRStorageUI=false \        
-J-Doracle.install.grid.validate.VDSKStorageUI=false 

Note: The above options skip all the checks for Oracle Cluster Registry and voting disk storage.
Ensure that you manually verify the location provided before proceeding with the installation.
