Solution

download the rh.noarch.tar from the oracle metalink note RHEL6: 12c OUI INS-13001: CVU Fails: Reference data is not available for verifying prerequisites on this operating system distribution (Doc ID 1567127.1)

[1] install the rpm redhat-release-6Server-1.noarch.rpm

[root@oracledb1 oracle]# rpm -ivh redhat-release-6Server-1.noarch.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

   1:redhat-release         ########################################### [100%]

Check the installed rpm 

[root@oracledb1 OraInstall2013-11-22_10-07-58AM]# rpm -qa | grep redhat-release

redhat-release-server-6Server-6.4.0.4.el6.x86_64

redhat-release-6Server-1.noarch

[root@oracledb1 OraInstall2013-11-22_10-07-58AM]#

clear the /tmp folder and restart the installation 

If you are installing the stand alone database non(rac) you can proceed the installation with out installing the rpm ...

as you can run the installer ./runInstaller -ignorePrereq to ignore the system prerequisite
