The installation of the Oracle database is well known to everyone. There are two ways to install an Oracle database.
GUI Mode.
Silent Installation.
Sometime due to security reason we don’t have permission or access to intsall database binarry using GUI/attractive mode. In this article we are walk you through Slient installation.
Hardware Requirement
we are using Linux 7- 64 bit to install oracle database binarries.
[root@techwikee ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)Create Directories
Here, we’re creating u01 and u02 folders for installation, where /u01/app/Oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1 is used for the Oracle home and /u02/oradata is used for the location of the datafile.
[root@techwikee Packages]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
[root@techwikee Packages]# mkdir -p /u02/oradataCreate new groups and users
Below, we’re creating groups that are basic requirements for installation.
[root@techwikee Packages]# groupadd -g 10001 oinstall
[root@techwikee Packages]# groupadd -g 10003 dba
[root@techwikee Packages]# useradd -u 10001 -g oinstall -G dba oracle
[root@techwikee Packages]# cat /etc/group| grep -i oraChange Ownership and permissions
To enable the Oracle user to read, write, and execute files, we must modify the ownership and permissions of the folders.
root@techwikee Packages]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 /u02
[root@techwikee Packages]# chmod -R 775 /u01 /u02Requirements needed before installing Oracle
In order to proceed with installation, Oracle 19c requires the following requirements.
[root@techwikee Packages]# yum install -y oracle-database-preinstall-19c

Complete!Unzip the software
You must manually unzip the Oracle binaries under ORACLE HOME for the silent installation.
Oracle binaries should be unzipped in the Oracle Home directory as shown below.
[oracle@techwikee dbhome_1]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/
[oracle@techwikee dbhome_1]$ unzip LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zipEdit response file.
Now we are editing respose file according to the enviroment need.
oracle@techwikee response]$ cat db_install.rsp
