Installing Oracle 12c Release 2 (12.2) RAC on VirtualBox – silent installation – Part 4
Posted by Balazs Papp on 2017-03-20
With a working 12c Release 2 (12.2) Grid Infrastructure cluster, the only remaining tasks left are installing the database software and creating a database.

As usual, prepare a responsefile for installing the database:
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ cp /install/database/response/db_install.rsp . [oracle@rac1 ~]$ vi db_install.rsp
Set the below parameters:
oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oraInventory ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1 ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=EE oracle.install.db.OSDBA_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSOPER_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSBACKUPDBA_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSDGDBA_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.OSKMDBA_GROUP=dba oracle.install.db.CLUSTER_NODES=rac1,rac2 DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
Here is my working version of the responsefile I used for this installation: http://pastebin.com/4WJLQfTQ
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ /install/database/runInstaller -silent -responsefile /home/oracle/db_install.rsp -showProgress -waitforcompletion

Finally, the database can be created. While in general, using the “General Purpose” template is not recommended, this is still the quickest method for creating a database, so for the sake of simplicity, the below command creates a database using the “General Purpose” template:
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName General_Purpose.dbc -gdbName ORCL -characterSet AL32UTF8 -databaseConfigType RAC -datafileDestination +DATA -totalMemory 1024 -nationalCharacterSet AL16UTF16 -nodelist rac1,rac2 -adminManaged -recoveryAreaDestination +FRA -recoveryAreaSize 20480 -sid ORCL -sysPassword Oracle123 -systemPassword Oracle123 -useOMF true Copying database files 1% complete 2% complete 15% complete 27% complete Creating and starting Oracle instance 29% complete 32% complete 36% complete 40% complete 41% complete 43% complete 45% complete Creating cluster database views 47% complete 63% complete Completing Database Creation 64% complete 65% complete 68% complete 70% complete 72% complete Executing Post Configuration Actions 100% complete Look at the log file "/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca/ORCL/ORCL.log" for further details.
Once it is complete, check the status:
