Description

The ora_install module contains all Puppet classes, defined types and custom types needed to install Oracle RDBMS and Oracle ASM on a system. Instead of writing complex Bash scripts, using this module, you can now define your Oracle software installation in an easy, declarative way.

All knowledge required to install and manage your Oracle installation is coded into the Puppet modules. This means you can focus on the "what" and leave the implementation details to our modules.

Our modules support a broad range of Oracle versions. We are committed to making our modules work on future releases. This allows our customers an easy upgrade path from older to newer versions.
