I was asked to Install Oracle 19c EE with the provided information:
DB: /app/oracle/product/19.3.0
SW: /backup/media/oracle19.3_database/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zipNot knowing anything about the environment, more due diligence is required and here are the steps taken:
--- Find OS info:
oracle@oradev001: ~ $ uname -an
Linux oradev001 3.10.0-1160.31.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 26 20:18:08 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
--- Create new directory:
oracle@oradev001: ~ $ ls -ld /app/oracle/product/19.3.0
ls: cannot access /app/oracle/product/19.3.0: No such file or directory
oracle@oradev001: ~ $ mkdir -p /app/oracle/product/19.3.0
oracle@oradev001: ~ $ ls -ld /app/oracle/product/19.3.0
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 4096 Jan 26 12:44 /app/oracle/product/19.3.0
--- Extract software:
oracle@oradev001: ~ $ cd /app/oracle/product/19.3.0
oracle@oradev001: /app/oracle/product/19.3.0 $ unzip -oq /backup/media/oracle19.3_database/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip; echo $?
0
--- Extract rspfmt_dbinstall_response_schema_v19.0.0 from db_install.rsp:
oracle@oradev001: /app/oracle/product/19.3.0 $ ls -l install/response/db_install.rsp
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 19932 Feb 6 2019 install/response/db_install.rsp
oracle@oradev001: /app/oracle/product/19.3.0 $ grep responseFileVersion install/response/db_install.rsp
oracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_dbinstall_response_schema_v19.0.0
--- Find UNIX_GROUP_NAME (oinstall or dba):
oracle@oradev001: /app/oracle/product/19.3.0 $ id oracle
uid=3000(oracle) gid=3000(dba) groups=3000(dba),54329(asmadmin),54327(asmdba)
--- Find ORACLE_BASE:
oracle@oradev001: /app/oracle/product/19.3.0 $ env|grep ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle
--- Find INVENTORY_LOCATION:
oracle@oradev001: /app/oracle/product/19.3.0 $ ls -l /etc/oraInst.loc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47 Nov 7 2018 /etc/oraInst.loc
--- Create and copy response file to /tmp:
oracle@oradev001: /app/oracle/product/19.3.0 $ cat db_install.rsp
oracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_dbinstall_response_schema_v19.0.0
oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY
