The SF Oracle RAC installer includes the option (-makeresponsefile) to simulate the installation, configuration, or uninstallation of the product. The simulation option steps through the installation script, including all of the preinstallation checks on the systems. However, the simulation does not actually install the packages, uninstall previously installed packages, or start or stop any processes.
Use the installation simulator in the following situations:
To understand the information that is required when you install, configure, or uninstall SF Oracle RAC
As the simulator steps through the same code that is used by the installer, you can use the simulation process to preview the installation or configuration steps without disrupting your existing installation. You can skip the preinstallation checks, if not required.
The simulation process enables you to create a response file that can be used as a template for installing, configuring, or uninstalling SF Oracle RAC. You can customize the response file, as required.
To simulate an installation or configuration, specify the -makeresponsefile option with the installer or product installation script at the command line.
To simulate an uninstallation, specify the -makeresponsefile option with the installer or the product uninstall script at the command line.
