3 Installation and Configuration Using the Gold Image on a Two-Tier System

Access to the Gold Image

When you perform the first gold image installation, the system needs to be clean with no previous Oracle homes configured or Oracle processes running.

Before installing using the gold image, you must make the gold image stage area accessible on your system. The gold image stage area can be mounted from a remote machine using nfs, or copied onto the local machine and extracted in the location described below.

Oracle Collaboration Suite CC expects the gold image stage area to be made available in the /stage/ocs904 directory. If you want to put the gold image in another directory, you must set the CC_STAGE_AREA environment variable to that location, as follows:

# CC_STAGE_AREA=/mystage/gold
# export CC_STAGE_AREA

# cat OCS9041_CC_TwoTier_a* > ocs9041cc_twotier_images.tar
# rm OCS9041_CC_TwoTier_a*
# tar xvf ocs9041cc_twotier_images.tar

# cat OCS9041_CC_Single_Tier_a* > ocs9041cc_singletier_images.tar
# rm OCS9041_CC_Single_Tier_a*
# tar xvf ocs9041cc_singletier_images.tar

Overview of a Two-Tier Deployment

A two-tier deployment involves deploying the following components:

• Infrastructure database

• Email Infostore (needed if you are deploying Email)

• Files Infostore (needed if you are deploying Files)

• Real-Time Collaboration Infostore (needed if you are deploying Real-Time Collaboration)

• Calendar Server (needed if you are deploying Calendar)

• Infrastructure mid-tier (Oracle Internet Directory (OID) and Single Sign-On (SSO) server)

• Oracle Collaboration Suite middle-tier (Email, Files, Real-Time Collaboration, Calendar, Ultra Search, Wireless, and Portal)

Installing Database-Tier Components

Install database-tier components using the following:

1. Log in as the root user on the database-tier.

2. Change directories to the gold image stage area using the following command:

   # cd /<stage area/Disk0
   
   

3. Run the install.sh script with the following options:

   # ./install.sh -goldimage -custid=<4 letter customer id> -instancetype={t|d|p} -installtype=infradb,infoemail,infofiles,infortc,calendar
   
   

This installs Infrastructure database, Email Infostore, Files Infostore, Real-Time Collaboration Infostore, and Calendar Server in their respective Oracle homes if the respective partitions are present.

If you want to install Infostores on the database-tier as a single database, run the install.sh script with the folloing options:

# ./install.sh -goldimage -custid=<4 letter customer id> -instancetype={t|d|p} -installtype=infradb,infoall,calendar

Installing Mid-Tier Components

Install mid-tier components using the following:

1. Log in as the root user on the middle-tier.

2. Change directories to the gold image stage area using the following command:

   # cd /<stage area/Disk0
   
   

3. Run the install.sh script with the following options:

   # ./install.sh -goldimage -custid=<4 letter customer id> -instancetype={t|d|p} -installtype=inframt,ocsmt
   
   

This installs Infrastructure mid-tier and Oracle Collaboration Suite middle-tier in their respective Oracle homes.

Configuring Components on the Database-Tier and Middle-Tier

This section details configuring the Oracle homes of different components on the database-tier. Table 3-1, "Oracle Home Locations" lists the location of the Oracle home for each component.

Configure components on the database-tier using the following

1. Log in as the root user on the database-tier.

2. Set up your environment by sourcing the /etc/ora_cc_env file using the following commands:

   # . /etc/ora_cc_env
   # cd $ORACLE_CC_ROOT/ocs
   
   

3. Set the DISPLAY variable to the valid X server.

4. Run the config.sh script in one of the following ways:

   • Using interactive mode

   • Using an input file
