Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle Application Server Guide for Solaris OS

Installing Oracle Application Server in Zones

Note –

This deployment example is designed for a single node cluster. It is provided simply as a concise guide to help you if you need to refer to an installation and configuration of Oracle Application Server.

This deployment example is not meant to be a precise guide to install and configure Oracle Application Server.

If you need to install Oracle Application Server in any other configuration, refer to the general purpose procedures elsewhere in this manual.

The instructions with this deployment example assumes that you are using the Oracle Application Server 10g version 10.1.2 for Solaris x86–64 platform and will configure Oracle Application Server on a ZFS highly available local file system.

The tasks you must perform to install and configure Oracle Application Server in the zones are as follows:

ProcedureExample: Prepare the Cluster for Oracle Application Server

Perform all steps within this example in the global zone.

  1. Install and configure the cluster as instructed in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS.

    Install the following cluster software components.

    • Sun Cluster core software

    • Sun Cluster HA for Oracle data service

    • Sun Cluster HA for Oracle Application Server data service

  2. Install and configure a Zettabyte file system.

    Create a ZFS pool.

    Note –

    The following zpool definition represents a very basic configuration for deployment on a single node cluster.

    You should not consider this example for use within a productive deployment, instead it is a very basic configuration for testing or development purposes only.


    Vigor5# zpool create -m /ZFSoracle HAZpool4 c1t6d0

  3. Add the Oracle Application Server logical hostname to /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes.


    Vigor5# cat >> /etc/hosts <<-EOF
192.168.1.153	oas10g.uk.sun.com oas10g
EOF
Vigor5# cat >> /etc/inet/ipnodes <<-EOF
192.168.1.153	oas10g.uk.sun.com oas10g
EOF

ProcedureExample: Configure zones z1 and z2 for Oracle Application Server

  1. On local storage create a directory for the non-global zones root path.


    Vigor5# mkdir /zones

  2. Create a temporary file for the whole root zones, for example /tmp/z1 and /tmp/z2, and include the following entries:


    Vigor5# cat > /tmp/z1 <<-EOF
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/z1
EOF
Vigor5# cat > /tmp/z2 <<-EOF
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/z2
EOF

  3. Configure the non-global zones, using the files you created. 


    Vigor5# zonecfg -z z1 -f /tmp/z1
Vigor5# zonecfg -z z2 -f /tmp/z2

  4. Install the zones.

    Open two windows and issue the following command in each window.


    Vigor5# zoneadm -z z1 install
Vigor5# zoneadm -z z2 install

  5. Boot the zones.


    Vigor5# zoneadm -z z1 boot
Vigor5# zoneadm -z z2 boot

  6. Log in to the zones and complete the zone system identification.


    Vigor5# zlogin -C z1
Vigor5# zlogin -C z2

  7. Close the terminal window and disconnect from the zone consoles.

    After you have completed the zone system identification, disconnect from the window your previously opened.


    Vigo5# ~.

  8. Import the ZFS pool into zone z1.

    Perform this step in the global zone only.


    Vigor5# zpool export -f HAZpool4
Vigor5# zpool import -R /zones/z1/root HAZpool4

  9. Add the Oracle Application Server logical hostname to /etc/hosts in the zones.


    Vigor5# zlogin z1
# cat >> /etc/hosts <<-EOF
192.168.1.153	oas10g.uk.sun.com oas10g
EOF
# exit
Vigor5# zlogin z2
# cat >> /etc/hosts <<-EOF
192.168.1.153	oas10g.uk.sun.com oas10g
EOF
# exit

  10. Create the Oracle Application Server userid in the zones.

    Perform this step from the global zone .


    Vigor5# zlogin z1
# mkdir -p /ZFSoracle/oraInfra
# groupadd -g 3000 dba
# useradd -u 4000 -g 3000 -d /ZFSoracle/oraInfra -s /usr/bin/ksh oracle
# exit
Vigor5# zlogin z2
# groupadd -g 3000 dba
# useradd -u 4000 -g 3000 -d /ZFSoracle/oraInfra -s /usr/bin/ksh oracle
# exit

  11. Setup file permissions in the ZFS pool.

    Perform this step in zone z1 only.


    Vigor5# zlogin z1
# chown -R oracle:dba /ZFSoracle
# exit

  12. Plumb the Oracle Application Server logical hostname in zone z1.

    Perform this step in the global zone.


    Vigor5# ifconfig e1000g0 addif oas10g up zone z1

ProcedureExample: Install Oracle Application Server in the zones

Caution – Caution –

The steps within this procedure are not precise steps to install Oracle Application Server. Refer to the relevant Oracle Application Server documentation for complete information.

  1. Mount the Oracle Application Server software in the zones.

    Perform this step in the global zone only.

    In this example, the Oracle Application Server software has been copied to node Vigor5 into directory /export/software/oracle/oasv1012.


    Vigor5# zlogin z1 mkdir -p /var/tmp/software
Vigor5# mount -F lofs /export/software /zones/z1/root/var/tmp/software

  2. Install the Oracle Application Server software in zone z1.

    Perform this step from the global zone for zone z1.

    Note –

    The values specified here were those used by this deployment example. You should specify values that are relevant to your installation.

    While navigating through the Oracle Universal Installer specify the following:

    • Enter /ZFSoracle/oraInventory for the inventory directory.

    • Enter OH_INFRA as the name for the installation.

    • Enter /ZFSoracle/oraInfra for the Oracle home directory.

    • Select Oracle Application Server Infrastructure 10g 10.1.2.0.2.

    • Select High Availability and Replication.

    • Select Virtual host.

    • Select Custom Namespace.

    • Enter dc=uk,dc=sun,dc=com for the namespace.

    • Enter oas10g.uk.sun.com for the virtual host.

    • Enter orcl.uk.sun.com global database name.


    Vigor5# /usr/openwin/bin/xhost +
Vigor5# zlogin z1
# su - oracle
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.5:0.0
$ TMP=/tmp
$ export DISPLAY TMP
$ cd /var/tmp/software/oracle/oasv1012/cd1
$ ./runInstaller

  3. Setup the Oracle Application Server userid .profile.

    Perform this step after you have completed the installation of the Oracle Application Server software in zone z1 as user oracle.


    $ cat >> .profile <<-EOF
ORACLE_HOME=/ZFSoracle/oraInfra
ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID
EOF
$ exit
# exit

  4. Copy /var/opt/oracle from zone z1 to z2.

    Perform this step in the global zone only.


    Vigor5# cp -rp /zones/z1/root/var/opt/oracle /zones/z2/root/var/opt/oracle
