Using Scripts or Response Files to Create Oracle RAC Databases

A Using Scripts or Response Files to Create Oracle RAC Databases

During noninteractive installations you can create Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) databases using scripts.

Note:

The scripts generated by Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) are for reference only. Oracle strongly recommends that you use DBCA to create a database.
