Using DBUA in Silent Mode

I just completed upgrade to 11gR2 for a test and small reporting database.

This time I used DBUA (recommended) versus the manual process.

/u01/app/oracle/product/11gR2/dbhome_1/bin/dbua -silent \
-sid dbtest \
-oracleHome /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 \
-diagnosticDest /u01/app/oracle \
-autoextendFiles \
-recompile_invalid_objects true \
-degree_of_parallelism 4 \
-emConfiguration NONE

The summary log files are located at $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/dbua/logs (ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle)

The detailed logs are located at $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/dbua/<db_unique_name>/upgrade#

Example: db_name=dbtest and db_unique_name=dc_dbtest (dc is the name for data center)

I attempted 2 upgrades just so I can get the feel of things.
