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.

  1. 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.

  2. Verify that the siebenv.sh file is under server_root and is owned by the user who will launch the Siebel server.

  3. Ensure that a database such as HA Oracle is configured for Siebel and that the database is online.

  4. Use the Siebel documentation to configure and populate the Siebel database.

    When creating the ODBC data source (using dbsrvr_config.ksh script), ensure that the name is siebsrvr_siebel_enterprise.

  5. Create a database user (for example, dbuser/dbpassword) with permission to connect to the Siebel database for use by the Sun Cluster HA for Siebel Fault Monitor.

  6. Log in as the user who will launch the Siebel server and manually start the Siebel server.

  7. Run srvrmgr and change the HOST parameter to the logical hostname for the Siebel server.


    # srvrmgr:hasiebel> change param Host=logical-hostname for server hasiebel
    

    Note –

    This change will take effect when the Siebel server is started under Sun Cluster control.
