RE: Oracle Silent Installs and Response files...

Greg,  

If you are upgrading to Oracle 8.1.7.4 on a hp-ux server without an X-term and trying to use silent install to get around it, don't do it. A DBA I work with was trying to do it and ran into issues. I researched it on metalink and found a thread that listed 3 bugs associated with this situation.
<BUG:754480> Silent Install from TELNET Session Gives Error: "DISPLAY NOT
SET...."
<BUG:763584> Runinstaller Expects DISPLAY Variable to be Set for Silent
Install

<BUG:1191382> OUI Installer Requires an X-DISPLAY to Connect to even in
Silent Mode

I have not tried it in other situations, but be aware of this one.
