Oracle Database 19c: Grid Infrastructure / RAC Silent Installation

In this blog I will be telling you how to install Oracle 19c RAC in Silent Mode. 
Remember the key thing with RAC is that it requires a lot of pre-req. I have already shown in my previous blog Series on how to get those pre-req done. 
You can find the details of pre-req completion in below 2 Parts. 

Part 1
Part 2 

Now @ this stage I will be working only on the silent installation steps 

In this blog I will be using a newer version of Oracle Linux (7.5 - Kernel 4.1.12-112.16.4.el7uek.x86_64)

This assumes
1. You have setup your linux machine
2. Made a clone and changed the hostname
3. Assigned IP addresses to Public and private interfaces
4. Unzipped grid software in /u01/app/190/grid

(unzip -qq LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip -d /u01/app/190/grid)

Cluster Pre-install

1. Setup passwordless ssh between users

cd 

[As grid Node 1]

$ cd /u01/app/190/grid/deinstall

$ ./sshUserSetup.sh -user grid -hosts "oelrac19c01 oelrac19c02" -noPromptPassphrase -confirm -advanced

2. Do the Pre-checks. Ensure they pass successfully. 

[As grid Node 1]

$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n oelrac19c01,oelrac19c02 -r 19 -osdba dba  -orainv oinstall -asm -presence local -asmgrp asmadmin -asmdev /dev/oracleasm/disks/OCR_VOTE1,/dev/oracleasm/disks/OCR_VOTE2,/dev/oracleasm/disks/OCR_VOTE3  -crshome /u01/app/190/grid -fixup -verbose

Response File 
Response File is the key for silent installation. You can find the response file

3. Execute Pre-checks with Response File
(Failure of RPM DB checks is fine)
$ /u01/app/190/grid/gridSetup.sh -silent   -waitForCompletion  -responseFile /home/grid/grid_install.rsp

4. Start with Installation.
[As grid Node 1]
$ /u01/app/190/grid/gridSetup.sh -silent   -waitForCompletion  -responseFile /home/grid/grid_install.rsp
