How to Install and Create Oracle 18c Database in Silent Mode Using ASM


<<Back to DB Administration Main Page

Step by Step How to Install and Create Oracle 18c Database in Silent Mode Using ASM

Installing oracle database is a lengthy process and therefore I have divided this post in 3 sections 
Section 1: Installing and Configuring GI for Standalone Server.
Step by Step instruction has been provided in post Step By Step How to Install Oracle 18c Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server in Silent Mode
Section 2: Installing Oracle 18c Database software in silent mode.
Section 3: Creating Oracle Database in silent mode
Once you have completed the section 1 you are ready to proceed with section 2 below.
Section 2: Installing Oracle 18c Database software in silent mode.
  • Download the software
Download the oracle database software for your OS from here
  • Transfer the oracle database binary to the server
Transfer the binary on the server where you want to install the database using winscp
  • Unzip the binaries

As oracle user unzip the software binary.
Note: Ensure to unzip the binary directly in the oracle home where you want to install the oracle software
$ unzip LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip -d /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1
  • Create OS Groups and Users
login as root user, create required OS groups and users
#groupadd oinstall
#groupadd tst1dba
#groupadd dba
#useradd -g oinstall -G dba,tst1dba dbatst1
  • Create the required directories and change the ownership and permission
login as root user, Create required directories and change ownership and permission of the directory to the oracle installation user
#mkdir -p /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1
#chown -R dbatst1:oinstall /u01/dbatst1
#chmod -R 775 /u01/dbatst1
  • Prepare the Response file
The template of response file is present in software. Navigate to the directory where you have unzipped the binaries and locate db_install.rsp. Backup the template before you modify it
$cp /u01/dbatst1/stage/install/response/db_install.rsp  /u01/dbatst1/stage/install/response/db_install.rsp.orig
Modify the following in db_install.rsp file (adopt the value according to your environment)
oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY
UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall
INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/oraInventory
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/dbatst1
oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=EE
oracle.install.db.OSDBA_GROUP=tst1dba
oracle.install.db.OSOPER_GROUP=tst1dba
oracle.install.db.OSBACKUPDBA_GROUP=tst1dba
oracle.install.db.OSDGDBA_GROUP=tst1dba
oracle.install.db.OSKMDBA_GROUP=tst1dba
oracle.install.db.OSRACDBA_GROUP=tst1dba
Note: Starting from 18c It is not required to specify ORACLE_HOME in the response file for Database installation, because the its installed in the same directory where you extract the binary

  • Perform Installation PreReqCheck
$/u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/runInstaller -silent -executePrereqs -responseFile /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/install/response/db_install.rsp
Note:- Ensure to fix Error/Warning before you proceed ahead. I recommend you, not to use ignorePrereqFailure if you don't know the consequence. I am ignoring some warnings because I don't have enough memory in my server
NOTE: If you have role separation  (which I have in my case)  and you have installed oracle grid infrastructure/ASM as diffract OS Group and User than oracle software user then GI owner (in this example oragrid) must be the member of the primary group of oracle software owner (dbatst1)
# usermod -a -G tst1dba oragrid
  • Execute silent DB Software installation

$ /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/runInstaller -silent -ignorePrereqFailure -responseFile /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/install/response/db_install.rsp
Launching Oracle Database Setup Wizard...
[WARNING] [INS-13014] Target environment does not meet some optional requirements.
   CAUSE: Some of the optional prerequisites are not met. See logs for details. /u01/orainventory/logs/InstallActions2019-02-15_03-31-29PM/installActions2019-02-15_03-31-29PM.log
   ACTION: Identify the list of failed prerequisite checks from the log: /u01/orainventory/logs/InstallActions2019-02-15_03-31-29PM/installActions2019-02-15_03-31-29PM.log. Then either from the log file or from installation manual find the appropriate configuration to meet the prerequisites and fix it manually.
The response file for this session can be found at:
 /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/install/response/db_2019-02-15_03-31-29PM.rsp
You can find the log of this install session at:
 /u01/orainventory/logs/InstallActions2019-02-15_03-31-29PM/installActions2019-02-15_03-31-29PM.log
As a root user, execute the following script(s):
        1. /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/root.sh
Execute /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/root.sh on the following nodes:
[test1]


Successfully Setup Software with warning(s).
  • Execute root.sh
login as root user and run root.sh
# /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/root.sh
Check /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/install/root_test16_2019-02-15_15-41-42-327743926.log for the output of root script

Section 3: Creating Oracle Database in silent mode
  • Prepare the Response file for DBCA
Backup the original response file before modifying it
$cp /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/assistants/dbca/dbca.rsp  /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/assistants/dbca/dbca.rsp_orig
Modify the following parameters only and keep everything else untouched.
gdbName=TST1T
sid=TST1T
databaseConfigType=SI
createAsContainerDatabase=true
templateName=/u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/assistants/dbca/templates/TPL_DB_18C.dbt
sysPassword=*******
systemPassword= **********
automaticMemoryManagement=false
NOTE: The content of the response file "/u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/assistants/dbca/templates/TPL_DB_18C.dbt" used in this example is provided below
  • Run DBCA in Silent Mode to Create the Database
$ dbca -silent -createDatabase -responseFile /u01/dbatst1/18c/dbp1/assistants/dbca/dbca.rsp

How to Power On/off Oracle Exadata Machine

<<Back to Exadata Main Page How to Power On/off Oracle Exadata Machine Oracle Exadata machines can be powered on/off either by pressing the power button on front of the server or by logging in to the ILOM interface. Powering on servers using  button on front of the server The power on sequence is as follows. 1. Start Rack, including switches  Note:- Ensure the switches have had power applied for a few minutes to complete power on  configuration before starting Exadata Storage Servers 2.Start Exadata Storage Servers  Note:- Ensure all Exadata Storage Servers complete the boot process before starting the   database servers 3. Start Database Servers Powering On Servers Remotely using ILOM The ILOM can be accessed using the Web console, the command-line interface (CLI), IPMI, or SNMP. For example, to apply power to server dm01cel01 using IPMI, where dm01cel01-ilom is the host name of the ILOM for the server to be powered on, run the

How to Switch Log File from All Instances in RAC

<<Back to Oracle RAC Main Page Switch The Log File of All Instances in Oracle RAC. In many cases you need to switch the logfile of the database. You can switch logfile using alter system switch logfile command but if you want to switch the logfile from all the instances you need to execute the command on all the instances individually and therefore you must login on all the instances. You can avoid this and switch logfile of all instances by just running the below command from any of the instance in RAC database SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH ALL LOGFILE;   System altered.

ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location

<<Back to DB Administration Main Page ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location CDB011> ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE '+DATAC4/CDB01/wallet/' IDENTIFIED BY "xxxxxxx"; ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE '+DATAC4/CDB01/wallet/' IDENTIFIED BY "EncTest123" * ERROR at line 1: ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location Cause  Creating a keystore at a location where there is already a keystore exists Solution To solve the problem, use a different location to create a keystore (use ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION in sqlnet.ora file to specify the keystore location), or move this ewallet.p12 file to some other location. Note: Oracle does not recommend deleting keystore file (ewallet.p12) that belongs to a database. If you have multiple keystores, you can choose to merge them rather than deleting either of them.
