While performing 11gR2 RAC Database Software installation with response file (silent mode), I got this error.
[SEVERE] - Invalid My Oracle Support credentials
I was using default response files for performing this installation. Searching on MOS (My Oracle Support ), I got a note indicating that following parameter need’s to be specified
MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME = MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD =
I provided a dummy value for these two paramters but the installation again failed with same errors. Then I gave correct credentials and tried again, this time installation was succesful. My initial thought was ” Is Oracle forcing people to have valid MOS account for performing installation” But this couldn’t be true as I had earlier done GUI installation without providing these credentials. It was clear that there was some other parameter which controlled this behavior. So as to diagnose it , I created a response file using GUI (Un checking the check box for my oracle support credentials) . This time response file had two additional parameters
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Specify whether to enable the user to set the password for # My Oracle Support credentials. The value can be either true or false. # If left blank it will be assumed to be false. # # Example : SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=true #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Specify whether user wants to give any proxy details for connection. # The value can be either true or false. If left blank it will be assumed # to be false. # # Example : DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=false #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
We can see that DECLINE_SECUIRTY_UPDATES value is changed from default value of false to true. From 11.2 docs
If you do not set MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME to any value and you set this parameter to true, the Oracle Configuration Manager is not configured.
So to workaround this problem, we need to set DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
one additional note, for this to work you have to remove your login info from the response file otherwise it still generates the error
Please could you share the response file content you used to install the RAC 11gR2 database software? I need it
Thank you,
Kamal
Kamal,
I don’t have the response file available with me now. Anyways you will have to modify the file considerably even if someone gives some file
