MGTCA-1176/MGTCA-1162 : An error occurred while marking the Cluster Manifest File as expired.

If you are installing “Oracle Member Cluster for Oracle Database” and during the installation GIRM configuration assistant fails with the following error:
MGTCA-1176 : An error occurred while marking the Cluster Manifest File as expired.
MGTCA-1162 : failed to add a property to the provided Cluster Manifest File
Just give the following permission to the manifest file , to let the installer make changes there:
chmod 777 manifest.xml
There is no useful info about that on the internet and metalink! I guessed it myself. That’s why posting that simple solution here.

just one question: why do you use chmod 777 while you can use chmod 700… or maybe 644 is also enough for your issue, does not it?
This file is used one time only during the installation. Because of this giving 777 is not harmful
