General Prerequisites

TimesTen Scaleout is only supported on the Linux platform. For the supported Linux platform versions, see Platforms and Configurations in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Release Notes. For the most recent information about your particular TimesTen release, see the README.html file in your installation directory.

Perform these steps on all hosts that will run the management and data instances and membership servers for the grid:

  • Install the same operating system version and release on each host.

  • Configure all hosts in the same internal network.

    When you set up your network, you must create a single internal network for all the grid components to communicate with each other. While clients may use the same internal network to connect to instances, you may wish to create an external network for client connections.

  • Install and configure NTP (Network Time Protocol). Clocks must be synced.

  • Ensure all instances in the grid can communicate with all other instances in the grid over the internal network on any port.

  • To avoid problems before and after installation, confirm your file system has sufficient space. See Storage Provisioning for TimesTen in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.
