Example C-1 Password response file for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server
Oracle Grid Infrastructure requires passwords for Oracle Automatic Storage Management Configuration Assistant (ASMCA), and for Intelligent Platform Management Interface Configuration Assistant (IPMICA) if you have a BMC card and you want to enable this feature. Provide the following response file:
oracle.crs|S_ASMPASSWORD=password oracle.crs|S_ASMMONITORPASSWORD=password oracle.crs|S_OMSPASSWORD=password oracle.crs|S_BMCPASSWORD=password oracle.crs|S_WINSERVICEUSERPASSWORD=password
Example C-2 Password response file for Oracle Database
Oracle Database configuration requires the SYS
, SYSTEM
, and DBSNMP
passwords for use with Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA). The S_ASMSNMPPASSWORD
password is necessary only if the database is using Oracle ASM for storage. Similarly, the S_PDBADMINPASSWORD
password is necessary only if you create a multitenant container database (CDB) with one or more pluggable databases (PDBs). Also, if you select configure Oracle Enterprise Manager, then provide the password for the Oracle software installation owner for the S_EMADMINPASSWORD
password.
oracle.server|S_SYSPASSWORD=password oracle.server|S_SYSTEMPASSWORD=password oracle.server|S_DBSNMPPASSWORD=password oracle.server|S_PDBADMINPASSWORD=password oracle.server|S_EMADMINPASSWORD=password oracle.server|S_ASMSNMPPASSWORD=password
If you do not want to enable Oracle Enterprise Manager or Oracle ASM, then leave those password fields blank.
