This chapter describes how to get started with the three Oracle Collaboration Suite installations. You must follow the procedures in this chapter to ensure that the installation process is successful.
This chapter contains these topics:
Oracle Collaboration Suite includes CD-ROMs for installing the following products:
Oracle9iAS Infrastructure
Oracle Collaboration Suite Information Storage
Oracle Collaboration Suite Middle Tier
Oracle Collaboration Suite Clients
Oracle Cluster Manager version 9.2.0.3
The Oracle CD-ROMs are in ISO 9660 format with Rockridge extensions. You can either choose to install directly from the CD-ROMs, or copy the CD-ROM contents and then install from your system hard drive. You must complete the procedures required for the installation method you choose before starting Oracle Universal Installer.
Copy each CD-ROM to your system hard drive under a directory named Disk1
for the first CD-ROM, a directory named Disk2
for the second CD-ROM, and so on (depending upon the number of the CD-ROM in the sequence of disks that comprises the set).
Double-click setup
on Disk1
to start Oracle Universal Installer.
Oracle Collaboration Suite uses Oracle Universal Installer to guide you through each step of the installation process. Oracle Universal Installer provides the following features:
Describes installation options for Oracle Collaboration Suite
Detects preset environment variables and configuration settings
Deinstalls Oracle Collaboration Suite products
This section describes the following Oracle Universal Installer features:
Oracle Universal Installer automatically checks your computer prior to installation to verify that your system meets operational requirements. Table 5-1 lists the prerequisite checks that are performed.
Table 5-1 Oracle Universal Installer Automatic Prerequisite Checks
Prerequisite Checks | See Also |
---|---|
Check for enough disk space for Oracle home installation | "Hardware Requirements" |
Check that the install host has enough RAM | "Hardware Requirements" |
For middle tier and information storage installs, verify existence of one Oracle9iAS infrastructure installation | Chapter 1, " Installation Overview" |
Verify that the monitor has 256 color viewing capability | "Hardware Requirements" |
See Also: Appendix B, " Installation Checklists " for the installation checklists for each installation of Oracle Collaboration Suite |
When you are planning to install a subsequent Oracle Collaboration Suite or Oracle9iAS infrastructure installation on the same host, Oracle Corporation recommends the following steps:
Review Chapter 2, " Preparing for Installation " for preinstallation tasks
Stop the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web Site
See Also: Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide for more information |
Ensure that all other previously installed Oracle Collaboration Suite instances are running when you begin installation
Specify a different Oracle home than the first Oracle Collaboration Suite installation
Use the same oraInventory
directory for subsequent Oracle Collaboration Suite installations.Review Chapter 4, "Oracle Collaboration Suite Deployment Methods" in this guide to ensure successful coexistence of Oracle Collaboration Suite components
Caution: The Oracle Universal Installer automatically installs the Oracle-supplied version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This version is required to run the Oracle Universal Installer and several Oracle assistants. Do not modify the JRE except by using a patch provided by Oracle Support Services. |
See Also: The Oracle Universal Installer online help if you have questions about the type of information to enter during the installation procedures described in this section |
Follow these steps to start Oracle Universal Installer and each Oracle Collaboration Suite installation:
Ensure that you have completed all the requirements described in Chapter 2, " Preparing for Installation ".
Print and complete the installation checklists in Appendix B, " Installation Checklists " for each installation. Many of the values are needed to complete the other installations and configurations.
Log in as a member of the Administrators group.
Note: Oracle Corporation recommends using the same operating system user account when installing and configuring additional Oracle Collaboration Suite applications on the same host. |
Insert the first CD-ROM of the appropriate installation into the CD-ROM drive.
The Autorun window automatically displays. If the Autorun window does not display:
Choose Start >
Run.
Enter the following:
DRIVE_ LETTER:\autorun\autorun.exe
Click Install to display the Welcome screen of the Oracle Universal Installer.
Note: Do not install the Oracle9iAS infrastructure or the Oracle Collaboration Suite middle tier on a cluster. Only the Oracle Collaboration Suite information storage can be installed on a cluster. |
See Also: Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration for more information about installing Real Application Clusters (available on the Oracle Technology Network) |
Click Next to display the Specify File Locations screen.
If you install Oracle Collaboration Suite information storage on a cluster, the Cluster Node Selection screen displays. Select the nodes on which you want to install the Oracle software. Real Application Clusters software is installed on the node from which Oracle Universal Installer is run and copied to the other selected nodes in the cluster. The local node is always selected by default.
On the Specify File Locations screen:
In the Source section, accept the default path
In the Destination section, enter the Name and the full Path of the Oracle home
Click Next to display the Language Selection screen.
Select from the list languages supported by Oracle Collaboration Suite any languages you want supported by your installation of Oracle Collaboration Suite. Click Next.
Notes:
|
These are the initial steps that precede the various installation procedures in Chapter 6, " Installing Oracle Collaboration Suite".
The Oracle Universal Installer creates the SYSTEM_DRIVE
:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs
directory the first time it is run on a computer. This directory keeps an inventory of products that the Oracle Universal Installer installs on your computer, as well as other installation information. If you have previously installed Oracle products, this directory already exists.
The log file of the most recent installation is:
installActionstodays_date_time.log
where todays_date_time
is the date and time of installation.
