Sun Cluster Data Service for Siebel Guide for Solaris OS

Installing the Siebel Gateway

You can install the Siebel gateway either on the global file system or on local disks of physical hosts. To install the Siebel gateway, see one of the following procedures.

ProcedureHow to Install the Siebel Gateway on the Global File System

Use this procedure to install the Siebel gateway on the global file system. To install the Siebel gateway on local disks of physical hosts, see How to Install the Siebel Gateway on Local Disks of Physical Hosts.

To install the Siebel gateway on the global file system, install the Siebel software only once from any node of the cluster.

Steps

  1. Install the Siebel gateway by following the instructions in the Siebel installation documentation and the latest release notes.

    Do not use the Autostart feature. When prompted, configure Autostart=NO.

  2. Verify that the siebenv.sh file is under gateway_root, and is owned by the user who will launch the Siebel gateway.

  3. In the home directory of the user who will launch the Siebel gateway, create an empty file that is named .hushlogin.

    The .hushlogin file prevents failure of a cluster node's public network from causing an attempt to start, stop, or probe the service to time out.

  4. Change the SIEBEL_GATEWAY to the logical hostname that is selected for the Siebel gateway in siebenv.sh and siebenv.csh files under gateway_root.

  5. Stop and restart the Siebel gateway to ensure that the gateway is using the logical hostname.

ProcedureHow to Install the Siebel Gateway on Local Disks of Physical Hosts

Use this procedure to install the Siebel gateway on local disks of physical hosts. To install the Siebel gateway on the global file system, see How to Install the Siebel Gateway on the Global File System.

Note –

To install the Siebel gateway on local disks of physical hosts, the directory gateway_root/sys must be highly available (it must be installed on a global file system).

Steps

  1. Install the Siebel gateway on any one node of the cluster by following the instructions in the Siebel installation documentation and the latest release notes.

    Do not use the Autostart feature. When prompted, configure Autostart=NO.

  2. Verify that the siebenv.sh file is under gateway_root, and is owned by the user who will launch the Siebel gateway.

  3. In the home directory of the user who will launch the Siebel gateway, create an empty file that is named .hushlogin.

    The .hushlogin file prevents failure of a cluster node's public network from causing an attempt to start, stop, or probe the service to time out.

  4. Change the SIEBEL_GATEWAY to the logical hostname that is selected for the gateway in siebenv.sh and siebenv.csh files under gateway_root.

  5. Stop and restart the Siebel gateway to ensure that the gateway is using the logical hostname.

  6. Move gateway_root/sys to /global/siebel/sys and create a link to the global file system from the local file system.


    # mv gateway_root/sys /global/siebel/sys
# ln -s /global/siebel/sys gateway_root/sys

  7. Replicate the installation on all remaining nodes of the cluster.


    # rdist -c gateway_root hostname:gateway_root

  8. Verify that the ownerships and permissions of the files and directories in the Siebel gateway installation are identical on all nodes of the cluster.

  9. For each node on the cluster, change the ownership of the link to the appropriate Siebel user.


    # chown -h siebel:siebel gateway_root/sys

  10. As Siebel user, verify that the gateway is properly installed and configured. Ensure the command below returns a version string.


    $ srvredit -q -g SIEBEL_GATEWAY -e none -z -c '$Gateway.VersionString'
