Creating a Password Response File

You can create a password response file and use it with configuration assistants to perform silent installation.

Perform the following steps to create a password response file:

Create a response file that has a name of the format filename.properties, for example:
```
$ touch pwdrsp.properties
```
Open the file with a text editor, and cut and paste the sample password file contents, as shown in the examples, modifying as needed.

Change permissions to secure the password response file. For example:

$ ls -al pwdrsp.properties
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Apr 30 17:30 pwdrsp.properties

Example A-4 Password response file for Oracle Grid Infrastructure (grid user)

grid.crs|S_ASMPASSWORD=password
grid.crs|S_OMSPASSWORD=password
grid.crs|S_BMCPASSWORD=password
grid.crs|S_ASMMONITORPASSWORD=password

If you do not have a BMC card, or you do not want to enable IPMI, then leave the S_BMCPASSWORD input field blank.

Example A-5 Password response file for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server (oracle user)

oracle.crs|S_ASMPASSWORD=password
oracle.crs|S_OMSPASSWORD=password
oracle.crs|S_ASMMONITORPASSWORD=password

Example A-6 Password response file for Oracle Database (oracle user)

This example provides a template for a password response file to use with the database configuration assistants.

oracle.server|S_SYSPASSWORD=password
oracle.server|S_SYSTEMPASSWORD=password
oracle.server|S_EMADMINPASSWORD=password
oracle.server|S_DBSNMPPASSWORD=password
oracle.server|S_ASMSNMPPASSWORD=password
oracle.server|S_PDBADMINPASSWORD=password

If you do not want to enable Oracle Enterprise Manager for management, then leave those password fields blank.
