Hey Niall,
As there's a low number of servers to manage, I'm using Ansible
(agent-less, zero overhead -- perfect for the 10-ish servers). The irony
is that this server is acting like a poor man's management server for the
other servers. But none of the other servers will be using 18XE. The
existing 19.6 install is the repository for EM13 and I want to add 18XE for
centrally storing some logs that can be reported via Apex (i.e. nothing
critical with zero license cost).
Thanks,
Rich

What do you use for configuration management? We use puppet and have a
(horrible horrible horrible - go see Enterprise Modules for a proper
approach) setup that manages all the pre-reqs. IMO pre-install is for
customers that don't do config management. If you do, get friendly with the
config management folks in your sysadmin team.

Hey all,
On OEL7.7, I have Oracle 19.6 installed and I want to install 18XE. The
problem is that I don't want to install/run the preinstall dependency and
have it overwrite my kernel/user parameters, users, groups, etc. The only
way I can think of how to do that is to use "rpm --nodeps" instead of
"yum". But I'd like to avoid using rpm to install outside of yum if
possible.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Rich
