Prerequisites for Oracle Application Binaries on Windows
• Oracle 12c is supported only on Windows Server 2012 and higher.
• The Oracle 12c binaries will be installed on a Windows server that will serve as the Hitachi Storage Viewer Portal server. This server cannot have any other Oracle database instances installed on it.
• Oracle requires that you are logged in using an account that has administrative privileges.
• To install the Oracle services, Oracle requires a user account that does not have administrative privileges. This often is referred to as the Oracle Service User or the Oracle Home User and it becomes the owner of the Oracle services.
