In-Depth Information
The silent mode installation is triggered with this command line (
A
):
runInstaller -silent -responseFile <responseFileNameAndPath>
-ignoreSysprereqs
In this particular case the
ignoreSysprereqs
line was required as the installation
was a RDBMS 10gRel2 on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 platform. Even though it
is a supported platform, by the time DB10gR2 was released OEL4 didn't exist, so
it is incorrectly considered to be a non supported platform by OUI, and this is a
workaround to avoid the non supported platform error.
The OUI parameter
ignoreSysprereqs
must be carefully used. It prevents the
installation prerequisites from being validated, so it is the DBA's responsibility to
make sure the prerequisites can be waived.
OUI shows the initial prerequisite checking output (
B
) where the supported platform
is listed and it makes sure the initial prerequisites are met. OUI then reads the action
to be performed (
C
), the dependency analysis is performed (
D
), and the OS platform
is checked (
E
). Once it finishes the first analysis, it goes to the OS package checking.
