while this did:

“CLUSTER_NODES={rac-server1,rac-server2,
rac-server3,rac-server4}” \

Did you get to export

approach. I’d be intersted in any problems /issuses encountered

The CLUSTER_NODES variable is good in the command, which I have just copy-pasted and modified accordingly.

And I did what you suggested, running the GUI, recording the RSP file and comparing that with the command you have posted. The only difference that I see between the two is the “n_configurationOption” parameter that carries a 3 in your command where as the GUI has used a 1.

Question: If I am running from lin1 server, I have enabled the password-less communication with the lin2 server(executing the $SHELL and the add-agent commands). So is it required to log on to the lin2 server also and do the same?

If you use the CLUSTER_NODES variable, it should do the work. However, if you can run the GUI, run it with “-record -destinationFile /tmp/output.rsp” and compare it the content of the default response file overloaded with the variable you’ve added as command line parameters. You’ll find what is different between the GUI and the silent install easily.

I have tried the silent mode installation of Oracle 11g Database over an existing cluster ware. But this is just installing on the local node from which I am executing the command and is not installing on the remote node that I have specified in the node list. Where as when I tried to install the same using the normal GUI installation it worked well and completed the installation on the remote nodes too.

Please advise.
