I'm trying to upgrade our development environment which is running on an Dell R320 appliance from 6.9.1 Patch 14 to 7.0.1.
I kicked off the installation script by entering:
install.sh -afx
Thing seemed to be going well until it got to the Oracle deinstall point.

Updating to include resolution.
Support ended up recommending just uninstalling 6.9.1 and then doing a fresh install of 7.0.1. That worked without needing to make any configuration changes.
