Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) performs system checks in preparation for installation, patch updates, or other system changes. Using CVU ensures that you have completed the required system configuration and preinstallation steps so that your Oracle Grid Infrastructure or Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) installation, update, or patch operation, completes successfully.
Oracle Universal Installer is fully integrated with CVU, automating many CVU prerequisite checks. Oracle Universal Installer runs all prerequisite checks and associated fixup scripts when you run the installer.
