The /tmp/aveksa-install.log has the following error:

ERROR:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress


Enter user-name: ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied


Enter user-name: SP2-0306: Invalid option.

SP2-0157: unable to CONNECT to ORACLE after 3 attempts, exiting SQL*Plus

 
Cause
The key error is:
 
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

The default password for the oracle user and/or root user was changed. Although this is allowed, the installation expects the original oracle and root user default passwords.
 
Resolution
To resolve this error:
  1. Restore the default password for the oracle and root users.
  2. Attempt the installation again.
  3. Once the installation is successful, the passwords for the oracle and/or root user can be changed.
