manually create the LABEL.ASC file

sharksolman:slmadm 32> cat LABEL.ASC
ORACLE:12.1:CLIENT:*:LINUX_X86_64:*

[root@sharksolman ORACLE_CLIENT]# ls -ltr

To be able to prepare S/4 1709 installation, we'll have to find the fastest HDD within the VM. Currently the SSDs are being used by S/4 1610, further more, even though S/4 1610's /hana disk was configured as 'thin provisioning', but there was one time that the HANA log files keep growing which fills up the 500GB disks.

Later we've cleaned those log files and configured HANA to run in a non
