9.6 Installing Only the Oracle Grid Infrastructure Software

This installation option requires manual postinstallation steps to enable the Oracle Grid Infrastructure software.

If you use the Set Up Software Only option during installation, then Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) installs the software binaries on multiple nodes. You can then perform the additional steps of configuring Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM.

• Installing Software Binaries for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster
  You can install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster software on multiple nodes at a time.
• Configuring the Software Binaries for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster
  Configure the software binaries by starting Oracle Grid Infrastructure configuration wizard in GUI mode.
• Configuring the Software Binaries Using a Response File
  When you install or copy Oracle Grid Infrastructure software on any node, you can defer configuration for a later time using the Grid Setup Wizard utility (gridSetup.bat).
• Setting Ping Targets for Network Checks
  Receive notification about the status of public networks by setting the Ping_Targets parameter during the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation.
