To Create a Portal Server Instance on ps1 (Sun Java System Reference Configuration Series: Portal Service on Application Server Cluster)

Sun Java System Reference Configuration Series: Portal Service on Application Server Cluster

To Create a Portal Server Instance on `ps1`

This procedure uses the psconfig command and a configuration file to create a portal (pstestPortal) as well as a Portal Server instance (ps-inst-ps1) and a search instance (search-inst-ps1) that are both associated with the portal. The procedure deploys the search instance into the non-cluster Application Server instance on ps1 (as-inst-ps1) and the portal Server instance into all instances in Application Server cluster (pscluster).

You begin with an appropriate example configuration file as a template and edit the file to specify parameter values that are needed for the reference configuration.

Create a config-ps1 configuration file.

Use the example14.xml file as a template.

# cd /opt/SUNWportal/samples/psconfig

# cp example14.xml config-ps1.xml

Open the config-ps1.xml file in a text editor.

Modify config-ps1.xml to use the non-default values in the following table:

Parameter	Value
AdministratorUserPassword (@ADMIN.PASSWORD@)	`access-manager-admin-password`
LDAPUserIdPassword (@AMLDAP.PASSWORD@)	`access-manager-LDAP-password`
DirectoryManagerPassword (@DIRMGR.PASSWORD@)	`directory-manager-password`
SearchServerID	`search-inst-ps1`
Host (@HOST.DOMAIN@)	`ps1.pstest.com`
Port (Search instance)	`5050`
WebContainerInstanceName (Search instance)	`as-inst-ps1`
WebContainerInstanceDir (Search instance)	`/var/opt/SUNWappserver/nodeagents/na-ps1/as-inst-ps1`
WebContainerDocRoot (Search instance)	`/var/opt/SUNWappserver/nodeagents/na-ps1/as-inst-ps1/docroot`
WebContainerAdminPort (@ADMIN.PORT@)	`4849`
WebContainerAdminPassword (@PASSWORD@)	`app-server-admin-password`
WebContainerMasterPassword (@MASTER.PASSWORD@)	`app-server-master-password`
PortalAccessURL	`http://ps.pstest.com:80/portal`
PrimaryPortalHost	`ps1.pstest.com`
PortalID	`pstestPortal`
InstanceID (Portal Server instance)	`ps-inst-ps1`
Port (Portal Server instance)	`80`
WebContainerInstanceName (Portal Server instance)	`pscluster`
WebContainerInstanceDir (Portal Server instance)	`/var/opt/SUNWappserver/nodeagents/na-ps1/as-cluster-inst-ps1`
WebContainerDocRoot (Portal Server instance)	`/var/opt/SUNWappserver/nodeagents/na-ps1/as-cluster-inst-ps1/docroot`

Save the modified config-ps1.xml file.

The modified file is reproduced in Example Configuration File: Portal Server Instance on ps1.

Run the psconfig command.

# /opt/SUNWportal/bin/psconfig --config /opt/SUNWportal/samples/psconfig/config-ps1.xml

The response should resemble the following:
