Oracle 19c RDBMS HOME software installation in silent mode

Oracle 19c RDBMS HOME software installation in silent mode

This blog outlines the steps required to install Oracle Database 19c Software Only on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 server using silent mode installation. Similar Oracle 19c installation procedures and software-only deployment approaches are referenced in internal Oracle installation documentation.

1] Verify the operating system version and hostname.

[oracle@orcl ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.5

2] Verify Hostname Configuration

[root@orcl ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
<ip address> orcl

Oracle 19c Software Package
[oracle@orcl ~]$ cd /u03/source/
[root@orcl ~]# cd /u03/source/ora19c_soft/
[root@orcl ora19c_soft]# ls
LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip

3] Create the Oracle user and assign the required groups.

[root@orcl ~]# useradd -u 2090 -g oinstall -G dba,oper, oracle

4] Configure Kernel Parameters

[root@orcl ~]# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104
kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
net.core.rmem_default = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500

[root@orcl ~]# /sbin/sysctl -p
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104
kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
net.core.rmem_default = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500

5] Configure Oracle User Limits

[root@orcl ~]# vi /etc/security/limits.conf
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft stack 10240
oracle hard stack 32768
oracle soft memlock 134217728
oracle hard memlock 134217728

Create Oracle Directory Structure
[root@orcl ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1
[root@orcl ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
[root@orcl ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01

6] As a Oracle User & Unzip the above software file
[oracle@orcl ~]$ su - oracle
[oracle@orcl ~]$ unzip LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip

7] Install Oracle 19c Software in Silent Mode

[oracle@orcl ~]$./runInstaller -ignorePrereq -waitforcompletion -silent                        \
    -responseFile ${ORACLE_HOME}/install/response/db_install.rsp               \
    oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY                                    \

    UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall                                                   \
    INVENTORY_LOCATION=${ORA_INVENTORY}                                        \

    ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_HOME}                                                 \
    ORACLE_BASE=${ORACLE_BASE}                                                 \
    oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=EE                                        \
    oracle.install.db.OSDBA_GROUP=dba                                          \
    oracle.install.db.OSBACKUPDBA_GROUP=dba                                    \
    oracle.install.db.OSDGDBA_GROUP=dba                                        \
    oracle.install.db.OSKMDBA_GROUP=dba                                        \
    oracle.install.db.OSRACDBA_GROUP=dba                                       \
    SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false                                 \
    DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
