How to install Grid Infrastructure binaries 19c in Silent mode for Linux

In this article I will show how to install Grid Infrastructure Software 19c and how to configure it using silent mode in Oracle Enterprise Linux 8. 

Installation-only steps

 Unzip the binaries into the GI Home Directory:

$ unzip LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip -d /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/grid_home
$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/grid_home
$ cp ./inventory/response/grid_install.rsp . 

Configuring passwordless between servers:

$ /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/grid_home/deinstall/sshUserSetup.sh -user grid -hosts "srv1 srv2" -noPromptPassphrase -advanced

Creating response file:

$ cat <<EOF > grid_install.rsp
oracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_crsinstall_response_schema_v19.0.0
INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/oraInventory
oracle.install.option=CRS_SWONLY
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/grid_base
oracle.install.asm.OSDBA=asmdba
oracle.install.asm.OSOPER=asmoper
oracle.install.asm.OSASM=asmadmin

oracle.install.crs.config.memberClusterManifestFile=
oracle.install.crs.config.clusterName=cluster01

oracle.install.crs.configureGIMR=false
oracle.install.asm.configureGIMRDataDG=
EOF

Set the env variable to validate OEL8:

$ export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL8
 

Install GI Software:

$ /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/grid_home/gridSetup.sh -silent -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/grid_home/grid_install.rsp -ignorePrereqFailure

Scripts Post-Installation:

in srv1:

#/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh

in srv2:

#/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh

in srv1:

#/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/grid_home/root.sh

in srv2:

#/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/grid_home/root.sh
