The -configureStandaloneServer option allows administrators to specify configuration parameters directly, simplifying the installation process. This update streamlines deployment for standalone server environments.", "body_md": "Before Oracle AI Database 26ai, Oracle Grid Infrastructure could be installed using a response file.\n\nFor example(**using a response file**):\n\n```\n./gridSetup.sh -silent \\\nINVENTORY_LOCATION=/oraInventory \\\nSELECTED_LANGUAGES=en \\\nORACLE_BASE=/grid/base \\\noracle.install.option=HA_CONFIG \\\noracle.install.asm.OSDBA=asmdba \\\noracle.install.asm.OSOPER=asmoper \\\noracle.install.asm.OSASM=asmadmin \\\noracle.install.crs.config.autoConfigureClusterNodeVIP=false \\\noracle.install.asm.diskGroup.name=ASM \\\noracle.install.asm.diskGroup.redundancy=EXTERNAL \\\noracle.install.asm.diskGroup.diskDiscoveryString='ORCL:*' \\\noracle.install.asm.diskGroup.disks=ORCL\\:ASM01 \\\noracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=Your_Password \\\noracle.install.asm.monitorPassword=Your_Password \\\n-ignorePrereqFailure\n```\n\nAt the end of the installation, the installer displays a message similar to the following:\n\n```\nAs install user, execute the following command to complete the configuration.\n        /grid/19.25/gridSetup.sh -executeConfigTools -responseFile /grid/19.25/install/response/grid_2025-03-28_08-34-17AM.rsp [-silent]\n```\n\nTherefore, we should use a response file such as the following:\n\n``` bash\n[grid@OL95 ~]$ cat /grid/19.25/install/response/gridsetup.rsp\noracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_crsinstall_response_schema_v19.0.0\nINVENTORY_LOCATION=/oraInventory\noracle.install.option=HA_CONFIG\nORACLE_BASE=/grid/base\noracle.install.asm.OSOPER=asmoper\noracle.install.asm.OSASM=asmadmin\noracle.install.asm.OSDBA=asmdba\noracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=Deraz_Kolah_122_Kebria\noracle.install.asm.diskGroup.name=ASM\noracle.install.asm.diskGroup.redundancy=EXTERNAL\noracle.install.asm.diskGroup.disks=ORCL:ASM01\noracle.install.asm.diskGroup.diskDiscoveryString=ORCL:*\noracle.install.asm.monitorPassword=Deraz_Kolah_122_Kebria\n```\n\nStarting with **Oracle AI Database 26ai**, Oracle Grid Infrastructure can be installed and configured using the command-line interface. Oracle provides the -** configureCluster **and -** configureStandaloneServer **options for the gridSetup.sh command. The -configureCluster option is used to configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster, while the -**configureStandaloneServer **option is used to configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server.\nIn this article, I will show how to install and configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure on a standalone server using the -**configureStandaloneServer **option.\n\n```\n[grid@OL95 26ai]$ ./gridSetup.sh  -silent -configureStandaloneServer \\\n  -OSDBA asmdba \\\n  -OSASM asmadmin \\\n  -OSOPER asmoper \\\n  -ORACLE_BASE /grid/base \\\n  -dbDiskGroupName ASM \\\n  -diskList 'ORCL:ASM' \\\n  -redundancy EXTERNAL \\\n  -diskString 'ORCL:*'  \\\n  -executeRootScript \\\n  -configMethod root \\\n  -auSize 64 \\\n  -INVENTORY_LOCATION /oraInventory\nLaunching Oracle Grid Infrastructure Setup Wizard...\n\nEnter password for SYS user:\n\nConfirm password:\n\nEnter password for ASMSNMP user:\n\nConfirm password:\n\n Enter password for 'root' user:\n\n The response file for this session can be found at:\n /grid/26ai/install/response/grid_2026-08-16_08-52-51PM.rsp\n\nYou can find the log of this install session at:\n /tmp/GridSetupActions2026-08-16_08-52-51PM/gridSetupActions2026-08-16_08-52-51PM.log\n[ Start ] NETCA - 2026-08-16 20:57:42.784\nCommand: /bin/sh -c /grid/26ai/bin/netca /orahome /grid/26ai /instype typical /inscomp client,oraclenet,javavm,server,ano /insprtcl tcp /cfg local /authadp NO_VALUE /responseFile /grid/26ai/network/install/netca_typ.rsp /silent  /orahnam OraGI23Home1  /ouiinternal\n\nParsing command line arguments:\n    Parameter \"orahome\" = /grid/26ai\n    Parameter \"instype\" = typical\n    Parameter \"inscomp\" = client,oraclenet,javavm,server,ano\n    Parameter \"insprtcl\" = tcp\n    Parameter \"cfg\" = local\n    Parameter \"authadp\" = NO_VALUE\n    Parameter \"responsefile\" = /grid/26ai/network/install/netca_typ.rsp\n    Parameter \"silent\" = true\n    Parameter \"orahnam\" = OraGI23Home1\n    Parameter \"ouiinternal\" = true\nDone parsing command line arguments.\nOracle Net Services Configuration:\nProfile configuration complete.\nOracle Net Listener Startup:\n    Listener started successfully.\nListener configuration complete.\nOracle Net Services configuration successful.
