Setup Wizard Installation Options for Creating Images
Before you start the setup wizards for your Oracle Database or Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, decide if you want to use any of the available image-creation options.
In image-based installations, you can start your Oracle Database installation or Oracle Grid Infrastructure installations by running the setup wizards runInstaller and gridSetup.sh respectively. Both these wizards come with the following image-creation options.
