A.8.1 Using the Installation Response File for Postinstallation Configuration
Use the response file created during installation to also complete postinstallation configuration.
Run the installer with the -executeConfigTools
option to configure
configuration assistants after installing Oracle
Grid Infrastructure or Oracle Database. You can
use the response file located at
%ORACLE_HOME%\install\response\product_timestamp.rsp
to
obtain the passwords required to run the
configuration tools. You must update the response
file with the required passwords before running
the -executeConfigTools
command.
Oracle strongly recommends that you maintain security with a password response file. The owner of the response file must be the installation owner user.
Example A-2 Response File Passwords for Oracle Grid Infrastructure
oracle.install.crs.config.ipmi.bmcPassword=password
oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=password
oracle.install.asm.monitorPassword=password
oracle.install.config.emAdminPassword=password
If you do not have a BMC card, or you do not want to enable IPMI, then leave the ipmi.bmcPassword
input field blank.
Note:
IPMI is not available on Microsoft Windows for Oracle Database Release 21c, but will be available in a future release.If you do not want to enable Oracle Enterprise Manager for management, then leave the emAdminPassword
password field blank.
Example A-3 Response File Passwords for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server (Oracle Restart)
oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=password
oracle.install.asm.monitorPassword=password
oracle.install.config.emAdminPassword=password
If you do not want to enable Oracle Enterprise Manager for management, then leave the emAdminPassword
password field blank.
Example A-4 Response File Passwords for Oracle Database
This example illustrates the passwords to specify for use with the database configuration assistants.
oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.password.SYS=password
oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.password.SYSTEM=password
oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.password.DBSNMP=password
oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.password.PDBADMIN=password
oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.emAdminPassword=password
oracle.install.db.config.asm.ASMSNMPPassword=password
oracle.install.OracleHomeUserPassword=password
You can also specify oracle.install.db.config.starterdb.password.ALL=password
to use the same password for all database users.
Oracle Database configuration assistants require the SYS, SYSTEM, PDBADMIN, and DBSNMP passwords for use with Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA). Specify the following passwords, depending on your system configuration:
-
If the database uses Oracle ASM for storage, then you must specify a password for the
ASMSNMPPassword
variable. If you are not using Oracle ASM, then leave the value for this password variable blank. -
If you did not specify an Oracle Home user for the Oracle Database installation, then leave the
OracleHomeUserPassword
field blank.
