Silent Install Oracle 12c software and database Console mode

Following are the steps to install Oracle database 12c in Oracle Linux 6.4.

It assumes that OS has been installed, Oracle 12c software has been downloaded, per-requistes have been configured (best way is to use Oracle pre-install rpm).

Step 1:

Create /etc/oraInst.loc file and make following entries in it by root user:

inventory_loc=/u01/app/oraInventory
inst_group=oinstall

chown oracle:oinstall oraInst.loc
chmod 664 oraInst.loc






Step 2:

Prepare the response file db_install.rsp by oracle user located in database/response directory. Following is the response file I used:



oracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_dbinstall_response_schema_v12.1.0


oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY

ORACLE_HOSTNAME=sourcetest.world.com


UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall

Step 3:

Install by using the response file by oracle user:

./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /response/db_install.rsp

Make sure you have at least 6GB for the Oracle Home.
