Note
Creating Installation Media
Another way to provision an Oracle database is to upload the installation media into the Software Library.
The installation media can then be pushed out to target systems by using deployment procedures. Let's look at how
to create and upload installation media to the Software Library.
Before you can upload installation media into the Software Library, you need to download the media from
Oracle. Media files can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN), My Oracle Support (MOS),
or Oracle's E-Delivery portal.
■
from the oracle technology network, anyone can download the software. if you have a valid customer support
identifier (CSi), you can access e-delivery and download from there, as well.
Note
You need to pull down the zip files for the Oracle database to a temporary directory on the host you are working
from. These files are located on disk 1 and disk 2 of the media downloaded from Oracle. Then follow these steps:
1.
After the files from disk 1 and 2 are downloaded, navigate to the temporary location where
they were saved. These files need to be unzipped by using a zip tool that is available on the
system. Then combine these two files into a single zipped file.
2.
Open the Software Library by choosing Enterprise
➤
Provisioning and Patching
➤
Software Library. In the Software Library, select the directory where you want to create the
installation media for the database.
3.
With the directory selected for the binaries, you need to create a new entity under this
folder. From the Actions menu in the Software Library, choose Create Entity, as shown
in Figure
6-63
.
