Installing Oracle 12cR2 Database on RHEL 7 in si

 In this blog, we will look at steps to install the Oracle 12cR2 Database silently on RHEL 7.

1. Create the response file under /tmp

vi /tmp/12cR2_response.rsp

Do not forget to replace ORACLE_HOSTNAME, ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE location in the below file

oracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_dbinstall_response_schema_v12.2.0 oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY ORACLE_HOSTNAME=proddb UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oraInventory SELECTED_LANGUAGES=en ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1 ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=EE oracle.install.db.OSDBA_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSOPER_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSBACKUPDBA_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSDGDBA_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSKMDBA_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSRACDBA_GROUP=dba SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true oracle.installer.autoupdates.option=SKIP_UPDATES

2. Go to 12cR2 installation software location and fire the runInstaller in silent mode

./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -showProgress -silent -responseFile /tmp/12cR2_response.rsp

3. Edit the dbca.rsp file under database/response folder and then run the installer to install the database

dbca -ignorePreReqs -createDatabase -silent -responseFile ./dbca.rsp

4. netca -silent -responseFile ./netca.rsp

netca -silent -responseFile /u01/software/database/response/netca.rsp

Parsing command line arguments:

    Parameter "silent" = true

    Parameter "responsefile" = /u01/software/database/response/netca.rsp
