In this blog post, we are going to rename the Linux host name of an existing Oracle 11gR2 system. We can also use this technique to change the IP address of our host.
Host renames are a useful technique in virtualized environments, where vCenter may be used to clone entire hosts including the Oracle databases installed on them. This technique will also work with physical hosts should you wish to simply rename an existing Oracle host.
In this blog post, we are going to silently install Oracle 11.2.0.3 64-bit on RedHat 6.0 using VMWare Workstation 8.
This install demonstration is going to use the silent install mode for all components. At least within the guest VM, at no point will we use a GUI for the install. We will need to use the VMWare GUI to create the VM, install the OS and add disks.
With the increasing use of VMWare, many organizations are looking to automate the deployment of Oracle database environments for development, test or validation. And increasingly DBAs are being tasked with automating the provisioning process.
