A short blog-entry about running an unattended
installation of Oracle 19c on AIX. With previous releases we have never seen
this issue whereas an unattended installation completed without an issue.
One expect the installation to be silent, not asking anything at all and completing
the installation using a given response file.
On 19c however, the runinstaller asks if
you have run the rootpre.sh, even if you have specified the “-silent” option.
To solve this problem, echo a “Y” into a
pipe and pass it to the runinstaller script, like this:
echo “y” | runinstaller -silent -ignorePrereq
-waitforcompletion \
-responseFile oracle-db-software-install.rsp
