.
This is basically using dbca to create the database but from the command line and can be used from a
shell script.
[oracle@rac1 bin]$ ./dbca -silent -nodelist rac1,rac2 -createDatabase -templateName
General_Purpose.dbc -gdbName raclab3.domain.com -createAsContainerDatabase false -SysPassword

password-sys -SystemPassword password-system -emConfiguration NONE -storageType ASM

-asmSysPassword passwordAsm -diskGroupName DATA -characterSet WE8MSWIN1252 -totalMemory
600 -recoveryGroupName FRA

Note: Since the password is in the commands then they will have to secure their scripts.

Also the other needed steps that are needed for a RAC database can be added to the script using sqlplus
commands.

[oracle@rac1 bin]$ ./dbca -silent -nodelist rac1,rac2 -createDatabase -templateName

General_Purpose.dbc -gdbName raclab3 -createAsContainerDatabase false -SysPassword password-sys
-SystemPassword password-system -emConfiguration NONE -storageType ASM -asmSysPassword
Opassword-Asm -diskGroupName DATA -characterSet WE8MSWIN1252 -totalMemory 600
-recoveryGroupName FRA
