It's a production machine and what we did was a fresh install of Oracle 12 (not upgrade). I do have backup but restoring backup is going to need me to install/configure Oracle again.
There's no problem with server except for it is running Oracle Kernel instead of Redhat's which resulted the server to become UNsupported (by Redhat). As per our company policy, all machines must be supported by Redhat only.
There're lot of prerequisites to fulfill for Oracle installation on RHEL but Oracle offers an RPM (mentioned above) does it by itself everything but also it also does few extra things like changing RHEL kernel to Oracle, pointing server to Oracle Repositories for future updates etc. Now that its running oracle kernel it is NOT supported by Redhat and I would like to know how can I switch from Oracle kernel to RHEL kernel without breaking anything.
