Installation
This section includes the following topics:
Note: The installation instructions that follow assume that the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Web Gateway component has been installed. Refer to the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Installation Guide for complete instructions.
Installation Overview
The Oracle Utilities Network Management System Switching Adapter is delivered as a single file:
$NMS_BASE/dist/install/nms-swman.ear.base
The nms-install-config script is used to apply adapter configuration changes and create the nms-swman.ear file, which can be deployed to the Oracle WebLogic Server (see
Software Configurationfor configuration instructions).
To avoid performance impact on the main NMS application (cesejb.ear), it is recommended that the nms-swman.ear not be deployed on the same managed server where the cesejb.ear is deployed; however, both managed servers need to be in the same Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
Adapter Installation Instructions for Oracle WebLogic Server
Create a Managed Server (Optional)
To simplify creation of a new managed server, you may clone an existing Oracle Utilities Network Management System managed server.
1. Log in to the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
Note: The URL for WebLogic will be http://hostname:port/console where hostname represents the DNS name or IP address of the Administration Server, and port represents the number of the port on which the Administration Server is listening for requests (port 7001 by default).
2. Click Lock & Edit.
3. In the Domain Structure tree, expand Environment, then select Servers to open the Summary of Servers page.
4. Select an Oracle Utilities Network Management System server in the Servers table and click Clone.
Click the link to the cloned server, select the General tab, change the Listen Port and SSL Listen Port to unique values.
Configure Data Source for the Adapters Managed Server
You may configure a new JDBC data source or add the adapter managed server as a target to an existing Oracle Utilities Network Management System read/write data source.
Note: See "Configure Database Connectivity" in the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Installation Guide for information on creating JDBC data sources.
1. In the Domain Structure tree, expand Services, then select Data Sources.
2. In the Data Sources table, click the data source name (either a new data source or an existing read/write NMS data source) to open the Settings for JDBC_Data_Source_Name page.
3. Select the Targets tab.
4. Add the adapter managed server to the list of targets.
5. Click Save.
Deploy the Adapter
1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, select Deployments.
2. In the right pane, click Install.
3. In the Install Application Assistant, locate the nms-swman.ear file.
4. Click Next.
5. Select Install this deployment as an application.
6. Click Next.
7. Select the servers and/or clusters to which you want to deploy the application.
Note: If you have not created additional Managed Servers or clusters, you will not see this assistant page.
8. Click Next.
9. Set the deployed name of the application to: nms-swman.
10. Click Next.
11. Review the configuration settings you have specified.
12. Click Finish to complete the installation.
