correct group mappings and so forth. Silent installations also don't need an X11-server anywhere in the network. For
secure environments, this is a blessing as it doesn't involve changing the SSH configuration as described earlier in the
chapter. Many secure sites do not allow X11 forwarding or port forwarding at all.
The so-called response file is the basis of the silent installation. Response files contain many key-value pairs
to instruct the installer what to do as part of the installation. Response files have been in use with the Universal
Installer for a long time, and examples or templates can usually be found on the installation media in the “response”
directory. Beginning with Oracle 11.2 it is possible to store the response file by simply clicking on a button on the
summary screen. It is no longer necessary to use the “-record” and “-destinationFile” arguments when launching
“ runInstaller ” to generate a recorded response file.
The following example assumes that a response file has been saved in OUI as suggested during the “interactive
installation” section. The alternative is to use the grid_install.rsp template and edit it. Apart from the passwords
all relevant information is initially present in the response file. Below is an example for a response file, using the
values defined earlier in the interactive session. Please ensure to adapt the file to your needs, especially in regards
to the passwords.
