Silent-mode Requirements

Before running silent-mode, verify your system meets all requirements.

Make sure you have done the following:

• Identify or Create Information Required for the Installation

• Verify Installation Prerequisites

• Download the STA Installer —the Response File Build Utility is part of the installation package.

Additional requirements include:

• A version of Java running on the server.

• You can use silent mode from telnet clients such as PuTTY, which do not use the X11 protocol. The xorg-x11-utils RPM package must be installed on the STA server, however.

• Silent mode also requires a central inventory pointer file specifying the location of the Oracle central inventory directory and the Oracle group. You must create the file manually if it does not exist already.
