About installation and configuration methods

You can use one of the following methods to install and configure SF Oracle RAC.

Table: Installation and configuration methods

Method

Description

Interactive installation and configuration using the script-based installer

Note:

If you obtained SF Oracle RAC from an electronic download site, you must use the installsfrac script instead of the installer script.

You can use one of the following script-based installers:

  • Common product installer script:

    installer

    The common product installer script provides a menu that simplifies the selection of installation and configuration options.

  • Product-specific installation script:

    installsfrac

  • The product-specific installation script provides command-line interface options. Installing and configuring with the installsfrac script is identical to specifying SF Oracle RAC from the installer script.

    Use this method to install or configure only SF Oracle RAC.

Silent installation using the response file

The response file automates installation and configuration by using system and configuration information stored in a specified file instead of prompting for information. You can use the script-based installers with the response file to install silently on one or more systems.

See About response files.

Web-based installer

The Web-based installer provides an interface to manage the installation and configuration from a remote site using a standard Web browser.

JumpStart

(For Solaris 10 systems)

You can use the Veritas product installer of the product-specific installation script to generate a JumpStart script file. Use the generated script to install Veritas packages from your JumpStart server.

See Installing SF Oracle RAC using Solaris JumpStart.

Automated Installer

(For Solaris 11 systems)

You can use the Oracle Solaris Automated Installer (AI) to install the Solaris operating system on multiple client systems in a network. AI performs a hands-free installation (automated installation without manual interactions) of both x86 and SPARC systems.
