For information on installing Oracle WebLogic Server, see Installing and Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence. For information on performing administration tasks, see Administering Oracle WebLogic Serve and Administering Oracle Traffic Director. For a list of custom Oracle Traffic Director WLST commands see Oracle Traffic Director WLST Command Reference.
These additional prerequisites are required if installing Oracle Traffic Director in a collocated domain with Oracle WebLogic Server. In this configuration, Oracle Traffic Director is administered through Oracle WebLogic Server.
Oracle WebLogic Server (fmw_12.2.1.2.0_infrastructure_generic.jar
)
Java SE Development Kit 8
The recommended configuration for a collocated domain uses the Restricted JRF template and does not include a database. If this template is not used, the following are additional requirements:
Oracle Database (Without a Restricted JRF template, the Oracle Traffic Director domain creation requires a running Oracle database to successfully complete the installation).
Creation of a domain repository.
There are different modes for installing Oracle Traffic Director. You can use one of them to Install Oracle Traffic Director.
This section describes how to install Oracle Traffic Director as a physical application.
You can install Oracle Traffic Director either by using a graphical wizard or in silent mode.
You install Oracle Traffic Director using an interactive graphical wizard provided by the Oracle Universal Installer. To configure Oracle Traffic Director for high availability, you must follow the procedure.
Note:
After installing Oracle Traffic Director, you must create the administration server instance.
This section describes how to install Oracle Traffic Director in noninteractive mode by specifying installation options at the command line. On Exalogic, in order to configure Oracle Traffic Director for high availability, the steps below must be performed:
If a central inventory directory is not already available on the host on which you are installing Oracle Traffic Director, you must create an oraInst.loc
file before starting the silent installation. For more information, see Oracle Central Inventory Location on UNIX Operating Systems in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer
It is important to understand the known errors that may occur during the installation. You can follow the troubleshooting procedure in order to fix them.
If you encounter an error while installing Oracle Traffic Director, do the following:
Verify that your computer meets the requirements specified in Prerequisites for Installing Oracle Traffic Director
While using the installation wizard, if you realize that you entered incorrect information on one of the installation screens, then return to that screen by clicking Back, enter the correct information and proceed with the installation.
If an error occurs while the installer is copying or linking files:
Note the error and review the installation log files. For more information, see Examine the Installation Log.
Remove the failed installation by running the following command:
$ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/deinstall.sh
Correct the issue that caused the error.
Restart the installation process.
