11gR2; Silent Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster

Introduction:

These last months, I have installed many Oracle RAC environments. This is good thing, but using the OUI installer prevents me to do other tasks in parallel since I have to enter values, go manually from one installer screen to another. To make the installation process easier, fast and avoid mistakes I adopted the silent installation solution. I have searched on the net and unfortunately I didn’t found any detailed available and free article to follow.

In this post, I am going to show you how to install the Oracle clusterware 11.2.0.2 on 7 nodes using the silent method.

Installation Steps:

Before running the runInstaller you have to check for storage, network, system parameters, etc…
You can follow the manual available on:

I am using Redhat Linux 5 as the base operating system. I am also using the role separation; Oracle user for RAC database owner and grid user as the Oracle grid clusterware owner.
