Silent Install Oracle DB 19.3

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.zip

Not 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

Followup with Database runInstaller applyRU Failed Me

This is a followup Database runInstaller applyRU Failed Me

I finally figured out my error which I should have seen from the beginning and better error reporting would have helped.

Can you guess what’s wrong?

unzip -qod $ORACLE_HOME /vagrant_software/p6880880_190000_LINUX.zip; echo $?
versus
unzip -qod $ORACLE_HOME /vagrant_software/p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip; echo $?

The wrong platform for opatch was used.
Here is what should have been deployed.

Database runInstaller applyRU Failed Me

I still remembered the cliche a manager used to tell me, “Slow and steady win the race.”

Looks like it is true with Oracle software as you never know what’s going to get.

I am trying to install 19.3 database software and apply Patch 31305339 – GI Release Update 19.8.0.0.200714 which failed misserably.

There is little to no information for the failure (at least from what I was able to ascertain).

Resolving the issue requires starting over from the beginning.

Here are the steps taken:

[WARNING] [INS-41809] Possible invalid choice for OSDBA Group.
   CAUSE: The group name you selected as the OSDBA for ASM group is commonly used for Oracle Database administrator privileges.

Goldengate 12c runInstaller UNIX_GROUP_NAME | INVENTORY_LOCATION

I keep finding ways to break things because the environments are not consistent.

UNIX_GROUP_NAME
This parameter is the UNIX group name to be set for the inventory on UNIX platforms.
Note: The UNIX group name is used for first-time installations only.

Details for oraInventory

$ cat /etc/oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory
inst_group=oinstall

Notice the group is dba while /etc/oraInst.loc has oinstall.
Probably because I specified UNIX_GROUP_NAME=dba?
Don’t remembered since this environment is really old.

$ ls -ld /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory
drwxrwx---. 6 oracle dba 4096 Feb 14 04:50 /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory

What happens when INVENTORY_LOCATION is not the same as /etc/oraInst.loc ?
