SMO Silent install???

NETAPPACT — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:12:33 GMT

Hi there,

I'm trying to automate some of our Oracle DB server installs using Puppet.

SnapDrive for Unix is easy, as it's a standard RPM install.

However I'm struggling with SnapManager fort Oracle as it's a self-extracting Bin with a configuration wizard.

Is there a way I can do a silent install?

Cheers

Gavin

SMO 3.3 has a silent install mode, you can do a normal install with '-r answerfile' and it will generate an answer file. Then distribute the answer file with puppet and call the installer with '-i silent -f answerfile' and it will do a silent install.
