Installing Oracle Database on Solaris 11 : Issue resoution

While installing the Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.1) grid infrastructure software on Solaris 11 , I got the following errors:

In the error message where it says invalid argument, the installer copies the file instead of creating a link. And for the error message that states No such file or directory, the corresponding file does not get copied over.

And then the ASM install fails with the error : ORACLE not available.

I got the similar message for Oracle database install as well.

It turns out 11.2.0.1 is not supported on Solaris11. 11.2.0.3 and beyond are supported on S11. Installing 11.2.0.3 resolved the issue.
