silent instalation of 9i db in linux 2.1

[gajananpkini]

hi

objective is looking for a silent installation document/URL to install 9i db on red hat advance server 2.1

I have done GUI instalation of the same. No issues with it.

Requirement is for silent installation and not GUI.
no GUI screen should pop up during installation

looked in google but not getting information about that from start to finish. what i meant was not all information in one doc or single

getting information in bits and pieces in diff url.

has any one tried or has a document or url link request u to forward

Thanks in advance

how about reading the installation guide which details how to create a response file? or even looking at the examples in the installation?

[gajananpkini]

we have to install from the files available in the installer and not by making any new response files.

Request any one who has done this type steps how it was done

repsonse files are specific to your environment. Look at the exmaples ones provided and change them for your needs.

I do the oracle Silent installation all the time. To get you started here are the steps in brief

- preparation
a. get the software unbundled
b. create oratab and oraInst.loc file under /etc
c. create user and groups for oracle
d. make sure you have OS prereqisite rpms installed.

- here is the sample responsefile
[General]
RESPONSEFILE_VERSION=1.7.0
[SESSION]
UNIX_GROUP_NAME="oinstall"

-- change list line content to SE for standard edition

-- fireup the cmd
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile oracleresponsefile.rsp

-- you will need patch 3006854 to get it working on RH ES 3.0
