After getting the help of my colleagues to apply for the OCI environment [OEL 8.10], we started to install the 23ai database for subsequent testing. This article selects the fast silent installation mode.
The OCI environment is logged in by the opc user, and the sudo command is required to perform high-permission operations.
First create a directory where the media is stored and give the highest permissions:
sudo mkdir -p /u01/media
sudo chmod 777 /u01/media
Then upload the 23ai media to this directory.
At the same time, install using dnforacle-database-preinstall-23aiThis bag will be very convenient:
sudo dnf -y install oracle-database-preinstall-23ai
After the installation is completed, you will find that not only do the required dependency packages, but even the Oracle system users have built it for you. In addition, the regular system settings have been completed. If you are worried, you can check it:
cat /etc/security//
cat /etc/
In short, all these related details are ignored, which is very worry-free.
So what do we need to do?
Just create the installation directory you have planned according to the actual situation:
sudo mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
sudo chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app
Then use the Oracle user to log in, set the environment variables, write it here~/.bash_profilemiddle:
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/db_1
export ORACLE_SID=demo
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
After entering the ORACLE_HOME directory, decompress the 23ai installation media.
cd $ORACLE_HOME
unzip /u01/media/
Modify the response file required for silent installation, backup the previous one, and then edit and modify:
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/db_1/install/response
cp db_install.rsp db_install.
vi db_install.rsp
Test the modified files, in order to reduce the space, clean up the comments, and attach them to the end of the article for your reference:
After modification, start silently installing Oracle 23ai software:
./runInstaller -silent -ignorePrereqFailure -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/db_1/install/response/db_install.rsp
After the execution is successful, switch to the root user as prompted and execute two root scripts:
As a root user, run the following script(s):
1. /u01/app/oraInventory/
2. /u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/db_1/
After all root scripts are executed, switch back to Oracle user and execute:
/u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/db_1/runInstaller -executeConfigTools -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/db_1/install/response/db_install.rsp -silent
You will be prompted for a log, you can tail track and view the output, and finally the prompt is successful.
[oracle@dbtest ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/db_1/runInstaller -executeConfigTools -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/db_1/install/response/db_install.rsp -silent

FYI：
- Response file db_install.rsp reference
There are too many comments from the source file, clean up the comments first:
# Delete comment lines in the answer file (starting with #)
sed -i 's/^#.*$//g' *.rsp
# Delete blank lines without content (^$)
sed -i '/^$/d' *.rspAfter cleaning the comments, the response file content is as follows, and you can DIY modify it according to your needs, especially the password:
