Performing Multiple Oracle Database Installations

To perform multiple installations of Oracle Database, use either of the following methods to install Oracle Database:

  • Response files: At each node, you run Oracle Universal Installer from the command line using silent or response file mode and you supply a response file to provide information Oracle Universal Installer needs. The response file is a text file containing the settings you normally enter in the Oracle Universal Installer GUI dialog boxes.

  • Cloning the Oracle home of an existing Oracle Database installation: With this method, install one instance of Oracle Database, and then clone its Oracle home for each additional installation.
