# Oracle 26ai- Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server Using the Command-Line Interface > Source: > Published: 2026-08-17 07:20:42+00:00 Before Oracle AI Database 26ai, Oracle Grid Infrastructure could be installed using a response file. For example(**using a response file**): ``` ./gridSetup.sh -silent \ INVENTORY_LOCATION=/oraInventory \ SELECTED_LANGUAGES=en \ ORACLE_BASE=/grid/base \ oracle.install.option=HA_CONFIG \ oracle.install.asm.OSDBA=asmdba \ oracle.install.asm.OSOPER=asmoper \ oracle.install.asm.OSASM=asmadmin \ oracle.install.crs.config.autoConfigureClusterNodeVIP=false \ oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.name=ASM \ oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.redundancy=EXTERNAL \ oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.diskDiscoveryString='ORCL:*' \ oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.disks=ORCL\:ASM01 \ oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=Your_Password \ oracle.install.asm.monitorPassword=Your_Password \ -ignorePrereqFailure ``` At the end of the installation, the installer displays a message similar to the following: ``` As install user, execute the following command to complete the configuration. /grid/19.25/gridSetup.sh -executeConfigTools -responseFile /grid/19.25/install/response/grid_2025-03-28_08-34-17AM.rsp [-silent] ``` Therefore, we should use a response file such as the following: ``` bash [grid@OL95 ~]$ cat /grid/19.25/install/response/gridsetup.rsp oracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_crsinstall_response_schema_v19.0.0 INVENTORY_LOCATION=/oraInventory oracle.install.option=HA_CONFIG ORACLE_BASE=/grid/base oracle.install.asm.OSOPER=asmoper oracle.install.asm.OSASM=asmadmin oracle.install.asm.OSDBA=asmdba oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=Deraz_Kolah_122_Kebria oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.name=ASM oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.redundancy=EXTERNAL oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.disks=ORCL:ASM01 oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.diskDiscoveryString=ORCL:* oracle.install.asm.monitorPassword=Deraz_Kolah_122_Kebria ``` Starting 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. In this article, I will show how to install and configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure on a standalone server using the -**configureStandaloneServer **option. ``` [grid@OL95 26ai]$ ./gridSetup.sh -silent -configureStandaloneServer \ -OSDBA asmdba \ -OSASM asmadmin \ -OSOPER asmoper \ -ORACLE_BASE /grid/base \ -dbDiskGroupName ASM \ -diskList 'ORCL:ASM' \ -redundancy EXTERNAL \ -diskString 'ORCL:*' \ -executeRootScript \ -configMethod root \ -auSize 64 \ -INVENTORY_LOCATION /oraInventory Launching Oracle Grid Infrastructure Setup Wizard...

After the configuration completes successfully, we can verify the ASM instance by connecting to it using SQL*Plus as SYSASM: ``` bash [grid@OL95 ~]$ sqlplus "/as sysasm" SQL*Plus: Release 23.26.2.0.0 - Production on Sun Aug 16 21:46:33 2026 Version 23.26.2.0.0 Copyright (c) 1982, 2026, Oracle.
