One of the first questions that I asked myself when EM GC 11g came out is how would a silent
installation go especially taking into account the use of WebLogic server as the http server.
But before any attempt of silent installation I started the GC 11g GUI installation to local VM machine
(Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 64-bit) with an allocated 2Gb of memory and got errors since
WebLogic server was not installed there.
I downloaded it from edelivery.oracle.com and unpacked zip file - got one jar file! Not bad at all!
But where are all those runInstaller, stage, & other directories? There was not even a sample silent
response file. This is where documentation is helpful, and based on Creating a Silent Installation,
I created response file silent.xml
and tried to start installation but got an error that java should be at least 1.6 version.
After installation of JRE out of jre-6u20-linux-x64-rpm.bin I changed the symbolic link
and pointed new version java to /usr/bin/java and completed silent installation of
WebLogic Server 10.3.0.2:
java -jar wls1032_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=silent.xml -log=install.log

Intstalling Grid Control requires running a database where the repository will be created.
Oracle RDBMS 11.2 was installed silently as well and that installation is even more silent
than previous versions since there is no progress bar now for 11.2.

Database emrep was created on file system taking into account database parameter requirements
for the repository database at Setting Database Initialization Parameters

-totalMemory 600One pre-requisite is to have undo tablespace not less than 200Mb. I increased the size of the datafile, followed with a database control deletion from the created database:
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop -silent -SYS_PWD sys_pwd -SYSMAN_PWD sys_pwd -SID emrep -PORT 1521Before proceeding with further GC silent installation I checked Prerequisites
and recognized that "soft nofile" limits for an oracle user are required to be set to 4096 instead of 1024
recommended for oracle 11.2 RDBMS installation.
After change of kernel parameters I put values to response file for silent installation of Grid Control 11:

Configuration assistant "OMS Configuration" FailedIn the latest log in /u01/app/oracle/product/gc11/oms11g/cfgtoollogs/cfgfw directory
I found the reason of the failure:
Check the OMS Configuration Assistant logs at:
/u01/app/oracle/product/gc11/oms11g/cfgtoollogs/omsca
INFO: oracle.sysman.top.oms:/u01/app/oracle/product/gc11/oms11g/bin/omsca:

Check the OMS Configuration Assistant logs at:
/u01/app/oracle/product/gc11/oms11g/cfgtoollogs/omscaFurther check of omsca code unveiled use of WebLogic configuration script
/u01/app/oracle/product/gc11/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/commEnv.sh
where there was code block responsible for JAVA_HOME and JAVA_VENDOR variables.
I simply put values for the variables to the script:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jre1.6.0_20"
JAVA_VENDOR="Sun"
# Reset JAVA_HOME, JAVA_VENDOR and PRODUCTION_MODE unless JAVA_HOME
# and JAVA_VENDOR are pre-defined.
if [ -z "${JAVA_HOME}" -o -z "${JAVA_VENDOR}" ]; then
# Set up JAVA HOME
JAVA_HOME=""
# Set up JAVA VENDOR, possible values are
#Oracle, HP, IBM, Sun ...
JAVA_VENDOR=
# PRODUCTION_MODE, default to the development mode
PRODUCTION_MODE=""
fiI reinstalled WebLogic, recreated database, removed entries from inventory.xml and started installation again.
It was finished successfully and I completed it with execution of allroot.sh script under root
from /u01/app/oracle/product/gc11/oms11g
Have a good day!
