Installing the Siebel Server and Siebel Database
You can install the Siebel Server either on the global file system or on local
disks of physical hosts.
Note -
If more than one Siebel Server will use the Siebel File System, you
must install the Siebel File System on a global file system.
To install the Siebel Server and configure the Siebel Server and
Siebel Database , use one of the following procedures:
How to Install the Siebel Server and Siebel Database on the Global File
System
Use this procedure to install the Siebel Server and configure the Siebel
Server and Siebel Database on the global file system. To install the Siebel
Server on local disks of physical hosts, see How to Install the Siebel Server and Siebel Database on Local Disks of Physical Hosts.
To install the Siebel Server on the global file system, install the software only
once from any node of the cluster.
-
Install the Siebel Server 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.
When prompted to enter the Gateway hostname, enter the logical hostname for the
Siebel Gateway.
-
Verify that the siebenv.sh file is under
server_root and is owned by the user who will launch the
Siebel Server.
-
In the home directory of the user who will launch the Siebel Server, 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.
-
Ensure that a database such as HA for Oracle is configured for Siebel and that the
database is online.
-
Use the Siebel documentation to configure and populate the Siebel
Database.
-
Create a database user (for example,
dbuser/db-password) with permission to connect to the
Siebel Database for use by the HA for Siebel Fault Monitor.
-
Log in as the user who will launch the Siebel Server and manually start the
Siebel Server.
-
Run srvrmgr to change the ServerHostAddress parameter to
the IP address of the Siebel Server's logical-hostname resource..
$ srvrmgr:hasiebel> change param ServerHostAddress=lhaddr for server hasiebel
Note -
These changes take effect when the Siebel Server is started under Oracle Solaris Cluster
control.
How to Install the Siebel Server and Siebel Database on Local Disks of
Physical Hosts
Use this procedure to install the Siebel Server and configure the Siebel
Server and Siebel Database on local disks of physical hosts. To install the
Siebel Server on the global file system, see How to Install the Siebel Server and Siebel Database on the Global File System.
To install the Siebel Server on the local disks of the physical hosts, install the
software on any one node of the cluster.
-
Install the Siebel Server 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.
When prompted to enter the Gateway hostname, enter the logical hostname for the
Siebel Gateway.
-
Verify that the siebenv.sh file is under
server_root and is owned by the user who will launch the
Siebel Server.
-
In the home directory of the user who will launch the Siebel Server, 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.

-
Create a database user (for example,
dbuser/db-password) with permission to connect to the
Siebel Database for use by the HA for Siebel Fault Monitor.
-
Log in as the user who will launch the Siebel Server and manually start the
Siebel Server.
-
Run srvrmgr to change the ServerHostAddress parameter to
the IP address of the Siebel Server's logical host name resource.
$ srvrmgr:hasiebel> change param ServerHostAddress=lhaddr for server hasiebel
Note -
These changes take effect when the Siebel Server is started under Oracle Solaris Cluster
control.
-
Replicate the installation on all of the remaining nodes of the cluster.
# rdist -c server_root hostname:server_root
-
Verify that the ownerships and permissions of files and directories in the Siebel
Gateway installation are identical on all nodes of the cluster.
