go to the directory where the Oracle binary are located
Create a working directory for each cpio file.

cpio -idmv < [cpio file]
cd /var/opt
mkdir oracle
cd oracle

Create a text file called oraInst.loc with the following content

inventory_loc=[ORACLE_HOME]/oraInventory
inst_group=

Then, set the file properties:
chown oracle:oinstall oraInst.loc
chmod 644 oraInst.loc

Edit the Oracle response file

cd into [cpio extracted directory]/Disk1/response/ directory
cp enterprise.rsp ../response_file.rsp

edit response_file.rsp

Define the following parameters:
ORACLE_HOME=”[oracle_home_value]” ORACLE_HOME_NAME=”[oracle_home_name_value]”
s_nameForDBAGrp=”dba”
s_nameForOPERGrp=”dba”
SHOW_DATABASE_CONFIGURATION_PAGE=false SHOW_DATABASE_OPTIONS_PAGE=false
s_globalDBName
s_dbSid SHOW_DATABASE_MANAGEMENT_PAGE=false SHOW_DATABASE_FILE_STORAGE_OPTION_PAGE=false

s_mountPoint=[data file location, ex: ORACLE_HOME/oradata] SHOW_BACKUP_RECOVERY_OPTION_PAGE=false SHOW_SCHEMA_PASSWORDS_PAGE=false
s_superAdminSamePasswd=[passord value] s_superAdminSamePasswordAgain=[passowrd value]
sl_superAdminPassowrds=[password value]
sl_superAdminPasswordsAgain=[password value]

s_dlgEMSMTPServer
s_dlgEMEmailAddress
s_dlgEMCentralAgentSelected
s_rawDeviceMapFileLocation
s_dlgRBORecoveryLocation
s_dlgRBOUsername
s_dlgRBOPassword

You should make sure that the following two parameters are defined:
ORACLE_HOME = “[home value]”
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=”[name value]”

su – oracle

cd to the directory where the installer is located, i.e. [directory where you ran cpio command]/Disk1

runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent -responseFile [full path]/response_file.rsp

Note: -ignoreSysPrereqs is only required on Solaris 10. After the installation completed, run the root.sh script in [ORACLE_HOME]/root.sh.
