Verifying the Installation and Configuration of Oracle E-Business Suite

This section contains the procedure you need to verify the installation and configuration.

How to Verify the Installation and Configuration of Oracle E-Business Suite

This procedure does not verify that your application is highly available because you have not yet installed your data service.

Perform this procedure on one node or zone of the cluster unless a specific step indicates otherwise.

  1. On a cluster member, become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.
  2. If a non-global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, ensure that the non-global zone is booted.
    1. Boot the non-global zone if it is not running.
      # zoneadm list -v
      # zoneadm -z zonename boot
    2. Repeat this step on all nodes on the cluster if a non-global zone is being used.
  3. Mount the highly available local file system.

    Perform this step from the global zone on one node of the cluster.

    • If a non-ZFS highly available local file system is being used for the Oracle E-Business Suite files, perform one of the following steps.

      Note - Ensure that the node has ownership of the disk set or disk group.


      For Solaris Volume Manager, type:

      # metaset -s disk-set -t

      For Veritas Volume Manager, type:

      # vxdg -C import disk-group
      # vxdg -g disk-group startall
      • If the global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, type:
        # mount highly-available-local-filesystem
      • If a non-global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, mount the highly available local file system on one of the non-global zones being used.
        # mount -F lofs highly-available-local-filesystem \
        > /zonepath/root/highly-available-local-filesystem
    • If a ZFS highly available local file system is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, perform one of the following steps.
      • If the global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, type the following command.
        # zpool import -R / HAZpool
      • If a non-global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, type the following command.
        # zpool import -R /zonepath/root HAZpool
  4. Plumb the Oracle E-Business Suite logical hostname.

    Note - If you are using Parallel Concurrent Processing, omit this step. Parallel Concurrent Processing requires physical hostnames.


    Perform this step for each logical hostname being used by Oracle E-Business Suite.

    1. If the global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, type the following command.
      #  ifconfig interface addif logical-hostname up
    2. If a non-global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, type the following command.
      #  ifconfig interface addif logical-hostname up zone zonename
  5. If a non-global zone is being used, log in to the non-global zone.
    # zlogin zonename
  6. Start Oracle E-Business Suite.

    Note - If you installed Parallel Concurrent Processing, you installed batch services on the physical hostname. Therefore, to start the Concurrent Manager, you must specify the physical-host pathname for the admin scripts. To start other application-tier components that you installed by using a logical host, you must use the logical-host pathname for the admin scripts.


    • If you are using Oracle E-Business Suite version 12 or later, perform the following commands.
      # su - oradb-user
      $ cd db-base-directory/SID/db/tech_st/*/appsutil/scripts/ \ SID_db-logical-hostname
      $ ./addbctl.sh start
      $ ./addlnctl.sh start SID
      $ exit
      # su - oraapp-user
      $ cd app-base-directory/inst/apps/SID_app-logical-hostname/admin/scripts
      $ ./adstrtal.sh apps/apps
      $ exit
    • If you are using Oracle E-Business Suite version 11.5.10 or earlier, perform the following commands.
      # su - oradb-user
      $ cd db-base-directory/SID/db/9.2.0/appsutil/scripts/ \ SID_db-logical-hostname
      $ ./addbctl.sh start
      $ ./addlnctl.sh start SID
      $ exit
      # su - oraapp-user
      $ cd app-base-directory/SIDcomn/admin/scripts/SID_app-logical-hostname
      $ ./adstrtal.sh apps/apps
      $ exit

        # metaset -s disk-set -t
      • For Veritas Volume Manager, type the following command.

        # vxdg -C import disk-group
        # vxdg -g disk-group startall
      • If the global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, type the following command.
        # mount highly-available-local-filesystem
      • If a non-global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, mount the highly available local file system on one of the non-global zones being used.
        # mount -F lofs highly-available-local-filesystem \
        > /zonepath/root/highly-available-local-filesystem
    • If a ZFS highly available file system is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, perform one of the following steps.
      • If the global zone is being used for Oracle E-Business Suite, type the following command.
        # zpool import -R / HAZpool
