Oracle Database: 18c Grid Infra (RAC) Silent Installation

In this blog I am going to discuss about silent installation of 18c RAC

Here the pre-reqs are already complete as described in my previous blogs 

Pre-req 1/2
Pre-req 2/2


Let's pick up now - 


1. Setup passwordless ssh between users
cd /u01/app/180/grid

[As root]
$ ./sshUserSetup.sh -user root -hosts "rac18c01 rac18c02" -noPromptPassphrase -confirm -advanced

[As grid]
$ ./sshUserSetup.sh -user grid -hosts "rac18c01 rac18c02" -noPromptPassphrase -confirm -advanced

2. run Cluster Verification and resolve issues if any 
$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac18c01,rac18c02 -verbose | tee /tmp/cluvfy.out

3. Final Pre-req check 
(Response file can be found in the end)
$  /u01/app/180/grid/gridSetup.sh -silent  -executePrereqs  -waitForCompletion  -responseFile /tmp/Silent_18cGrid.rsp

Ensure checks complete successfully. 

4. Start the installation
$  /u01/app/180/grid/gridSetup.sh -silent  -waitForCompletion  -responseFile /tmp/Silent_18cGrid.rsp

As a root user, execute the following script(s):
        1. /u01/app/180/grid/root.sh 

Execute /opt/oracle/product/180/grid/root.sh on the following nodes:
[rac18c01, rac18c02]

Run the script on the local node first. After successful completion, you can start the script in parallel on all other nodes.

Successfully Setup Software with warning(s).
As install user, execute the following command to complete the configuration.
        /u01/app/180/grid/gridSetup.sh  -executeConfigTools -responseFile /tmp/OBS_18cGrid.rsp [-silent]

Step 4.1 Run the Root Script
[As root on Node 1]
$ /u01/app/180/grid/root.sh
[As root on Node 2]
$ /u01/app/180/grid/root.sh

Step 4.2 - Run Post Script 
[As grid on Node 1]
$  /u01/app/180/grid/gridSetup.sh  -silent -executeConfigTools -responseFile /tmp/OBS_18cGrid.rsp 

Installation is complete.
