Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server Using a Software-Only Installation

A software-only installation only installs the Oracle Restart binaries at the specified location. You must complete a few manual configuration steps to enable Oracle Grid Infrastructure after you install the software.

Note:

Oracle recommends that only advanced users perform the software-only installation, because this installation method provides no validation of the installation and this installation option requires manual postinstallation steps to enable the Oracle Restart software.
