RDA - Health Check (HCVE)

I noticed that many DBAs are not aware of the need to run a prerequisite system check before installation of an oracle product.
This special check should be done in addition to the installation document and the check inside the installer.
The utility called RDA with a module for Health Check called HCVE.
It is well documented for RAC but can be used for simple installation.
RDA is maintained frequently and adjusted to the OS version against the oracle software.
You can read about it in Metalink Doc ID: 250262.1
"RDA - Health Check / Validation Engine Guide"

Sample
./rda.sh -T hcve
