Issue
The installation of RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle fails and the following errors are logged to the /tmp/aveksa-install.log installation log file: 
Installing Oracle... 
Expand the Oracle Installers... 
Check the System Configuration... 
Verifying system requirement 8778 
ERROR: Reference data is not available for verifying prerequisites on this 
operating system distribution Verification cannot proceed 
NOTE: No fixable verification failures to fix 
Verification of system requirement was unsuccessful on all the specified nodes. 
Running cluvfy again to check environment after fixup

This error may occur when checking multiple different Operating System pre-requisites and not just a single pre-requisite.
 
Cause
The error message comes from cluvfy, an Oracle utility, and indicates that an attempt was made to install Oracle on an unsupported Operating System. In this case, it was CentOS.
 
Resolution
When installing an RSA-supplied Oracle database on a customer-supplied Operating System (OS) as is the case with the Software Bundle, the database and RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle application must be installed an a supported OS as documented in the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Platform Datasheet and Support Matrix for the version being installed.
