Hi: Oracle has default response file and few changes are needed to make it work. As shown below, I have a brief note about the changes I made in our environment (explained in detail for CRS install response file). Lei DBspeed http://www.dbspeed.com/index.html ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** CRS installation for 11.2.0.1 ***************************************************************** you can find original response file in <install_software>/grid/response/crs.rsp The following parameters are those I changed to make it work ********************************************************************************************* ORACLE_HOSTNAME=racnode1.dbspeed.com INVENTORY_LOCATION=/opt/oracle/oraInventory SELECTED_LANGUAGES=en oracle.install.option=CRS_CONFIG ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/11.2/grid oracle.install.asm.OSDBAÛa oracle.install.asm.OSOPERÛa oracle.install.asm.OSASMÛa oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.scanName=scan-racnode1 oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.scanPort21 oracle.install.crs.config.clusterName=clu-racnode1 oracle.install.crs.config.autoConfigureClusterNodeVIPúlse oracle.install.crs.config.clusterNodes=racnode1:racnode1-vip,racnode2:racnode2-vip oracle.install.crs.config.privateInterconnects=bond0:80.77.10.0:1,bond1:80.77.10.110:2 oracle.install.crs.config.storageOption=ASM_STORAGE oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPasswordÛspeed oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.nameÚTA oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.redundancy=EXTERNAL oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.disks=ORCL:ASM_001_200G oracle.install.asm.monitorPasswordÛspeed ********************************************************************************************* HOW TO get those parameters ********************************************************************************************* ORACLE_HOSTNAME - usually specifiy the first node of the RAC *********************************************** oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.scanName - this is the full name for scan name, ask Unix admin to provide scan name and scan ip *********************************************** oracle.install.crs.config.clusterName - your choice, Oracle has limitation on max length characters, I use naming convention of 'clu-' plus '<first_node_name>' *********************************************** oracle.install.crs.config.clusterNodes - the format is <node1_name_for_public_ip>:<node1_name_for_virtual_ip>,<node2_name_for_public_ip>:<node2_name_for_virtual_ip> *********************************************** oracle.install.crs.config.privateInterconnects - the best way to get this is go to the output of cluvfy examples: you will have the following informaiton displayed by cluvfy Interface information for node "racnode1.dbspeed.com" Name IP Address Subnet Gateway Def. Gateway HW Address MTU ------ --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- ----------------- ------ bond0 80.77.16.75 80.77.10.0 0.0.0.0 80.77.16.1 78:X3:C1:1B:A1:80 9000 bond1 80.77.202.117 80.77.10.110 0.0.0.0 80.77.16.1 78:X3:C1:1B:A1:82 9000 bond0 is for public IP, we need information from two columns: 'Name' and 'Subnet'. use format <Name>:<Subnet>:1 bond1 is for interconnect IP use format <Name>:<Subnet>:2 Combine them together as <Name>:<Subnet>:1,<Name>:<Subnet>:2 *********************************************** oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.disks - please pick the first disk from ' /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks' The assumption here is : for any database we are going to build on top of ASM, we will have a disk group: DATA The installation will create disk group DATA with one disk. After installation, we will add other disks to it. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** DBMS installation for 11.2.0.1 ***************************************************************** you can find original response file in <install_software>/database/response/enterprise.rsp The following parameters are those I changed to make it work. ********************************************************************************************* oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY ORACLE_HOSTNAME=racnode1.dbspeed.com UNIX_GROUP_NAMEÛa INVENTORY_LOCATION=/opt/oracle/oraInventory SELECTED_LANGUAGES=en ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/11.2/db ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle oracle.install.db.InstallEditionî oracle.install.db.DBA_GROUPÛa oracle.install.db.OPER_GROUPÛa oracle.install.db.CLUSTER_NODES=racnode1,racnode2 SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORTúlse DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true ________________________________ From: Mek S <sidi.bouzid.meknessy@xxxxxxxxx> To: ORACLE-L <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2012 5:14 AM Subject: Oracle 11gR2 RAC database software silent installation Hello, Could you please share a content of a correct response file to installte an Oracle 11gR2 RAC database software silent using ASM (2 nodes is enough)?
