Install Oracle Software in silent mode 11gR2 (11.2.0.3)

Install Oracle Software in silent mode 11gR2 (11.2.0.3)

1. Overview
2. Unzip software
3. Backup response file
4. Modify the response file
5. Install oracle software in Silent mode

Pre-requisites already been taken care like kernel parameters, add groups, profile and etc


1. Overview

Usually to install 11.2.0.3 database software we will use ./runInstaller graphical user interface.

Some times may not have access to a graphical user interface. 

Silent mode installation allows to configure necessary Oracle components without using graphical interface

In this case response file can be used to provide all the required information for the installation, so no additional user input is required.


2. Unzip software

[oracle@rac2 share]$ unzip database.zip


3. Backup response file

[oracle@rac2 share]$ cd database
[oracle@rac2 database]$ ls -ltr

[oracle@rac2 response]$ cp db_install.rsp db_install.rsp.bkp <-----


4. Modify the response file

File name: db_install.rsp

[oracle@rac2 response]$ cat db_install.rsp
