Oracle EBS 11i Installation: AC-00401: Driver file missing for disk: 1 in the location

Issue

After launching rapidwiz, the installation log file shows the following error. The error continuously comes up and installation stalls.

Enter the location of the CD labeled Oracle Applications Rapid Install - Databases Disk 1 :

Checking Disk contents in - /u01/Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
Checking Disk contents in - /u01/Stage11i/oraAppDB/Disk1
Checking Disk contents in - /u01/Stage11i/oraAppDB/Disk1
AC-00401: Driver file missing for disk: 1 in the location: /u01/Stage11i/oraAppDB/Disk1/data/driver/vision.drv

Investigation

Checked /u01/Stage11i/oraAppDB/Disk1/data/driver directory and couldn't find vision.drv file. Instead there's another file named prod.drv

Resolution

1. From the Linux Terminal go to /u01/Stage11i/oraAppDB/Disk1/data/driver directory

2. Simply rename prod.drv to vision.drv

[root@11iupgrade rapidwiz]# cd /u01/Stage11i/oraAppDB/Disk1/data/driver
[root@11iupgrade driver]# ls -la
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 2 root dba 4096 Oct 17 2006 .
drwxrwxrwx 5 root dba 4096 Oct 17 2006 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root dba 1399 Oct 17 2006 Disk1.drv
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root dba 397 Oct 17 2006 prod.drv
[root@11iupgrade driver]# cp prod.drv prod.drv.bak
[root@11iupgrade driver]# mv prod.drv vision.drv
[root@11iupgrade driver]# ls -la
total 20
drwxrwxrwx 2 root dba 4096 Aug 5 18:34 .
drwxrwxrwx 5 root dba 4096 Oct 17 2006 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root dba 1399 Oct 17 2006 Disk1.drv
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 397 Aug 5 18:34 prod.drv.bak
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root dba 397 Oct 17 2006 vision.drv

3. Now check the installation log file and you will see the error will stop coming, and instead the next message shown will be "Processing Disk1".
