Installing Oracle from Custom Jumpstart on Solaris

Here is a quick example of a Solaris Custom Jumpstart finish script that installs Oracle from a repository on your install server. This was tested on a recent build of Solaris Express with Oracle 10g R2

First a sample rules file:

# Simple installation then install oracle from staging area on server
hostname        host  -       profile.oracle  install_oracle.sh

You need sufficient space in /u01/app (or other location that you choose) for the Oracle installation. Here's a sample profile that would allocate this space:

install_type    initial_install
system_type     standalone
partitioning    explicit
cluster         SUNWCXall
filesys         c1t0d0s0 5120 /
filesys         c1t0d0s1 2048 swap
filesys         c1t0d0s5 free /u01/app

The script below assumes the following:

• The existence of an Oracle staging area on your jumpstart server. The location of this is determined by the ORACLE_LOCATION environment variable.
• A customised responsefile at $ORACLE_LOCATION/response/jumpstart.rsp. I copied the enterprise.rsp sample file supplied by Oracle and modified the following:
  
  

  UNIX_GROUP_NAME=dba
  ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/OHOME1
  ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OHOME1
  RESTART_SYSTEM=false
  s_nameForDBAGrp=dba
  s_nameForOPERGrp=oper
  n_configurationOption=3
  

  For more information on Oracle installation pls check the Oracle documentation
