However, after reviewing the command to deploy the ODA_BASE I got the following error:

Changes

Install 2.7 OracleVM or upgrade OracleVM from 2.6 to 2.7

Cause

There are omitted or implied steps in the 2.7 README compared to 2.6

Solution

Concatenate the 2.7 files after moving them up one directory after uncompressing in the ODA

"...
>> When unzipping 2.7 patch number directories (i.e. /OVS/16186172_01/oda_base_2.7.gz01) are created and you have to move the files up a directory to concat them.

The pdf in Doc ID 1520579.1 does not indicate this step. This leads to believe there may be an issue with the 2.7 template
The readme for p16186172_27000_Linux-x86-64_1of2.zip” and “p16186172_27000_Linux-x86-64_2of2.zip” from MOS Patch# 16186172 doesn't indicate to move files either
This can lead the user to believe that here may be an issue with the 2.7 template when the problem is more basic.
