Installation of an Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine is performed by Oracle Customer Support. Certain verifications and actions will be required for each Replication Engine during installation.
| Installation tasks | |
|---|---|
| ❑ | Unpack the shipment and inspect all components. |
| ❑ | Unpack the Replication Engine outside the data center to ensure that no contamination or dust is released. |
| ❑ | Verify that all packing material has been removed and nothing is blocking the fans and air vents. |
| ❑ | Gather all the excess spare parts like cables and documentation together. |
| ❑ | Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom upwards so that it will not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy the rack's anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation. |
| ❑ | Install the rack rails and the Replication Engine in the rack. |
| ❑ | Launch a remote session to the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) port. Configure the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) port password using a laptop prior to connecting the Replication Engine to the customer network using the steps outlined in the ILOM Security Guide.. |
| ❑ | Label all the cables clearly and use cable binders. |
| ❑ | Connect all Fibre Channel (FC) and Ethernet cables as described in this guide. |
| ❑ | Configure the operating system on the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine. It is important that the Replication Engine has the correct IP addresses upon installation. |
| ❑ | Install the correct software version and apply all the required patches and or hotfixes for Oracle MaxRep for SAN. |
