How to Install Oracle Database 11gR2 in Silent Mode

I need install Oracle DB 11gR2 to OVM in remote city via VPN.

The difficulty is via VPN, it's very slow to do normal installation with GUI via ssh.

So I decide to do silent installation without any GUI part involved.

Here is the workable response file sample for installation and configuration of  database.

You can use the below command to run the silent mode and after installation finish, run root.sh with root privilege.

 ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/data/db/database/db_install_new.rsp
