Create a Machine for the Administration Server Enabling the Administration Server to Listen on the Virtual IP Address

Creating a Domain with the Administration Server and First Managed Server 5-7 Server must be configured to listen on this virtual IP Address. The steps to enable a virtual IP Address are completely dependent on the operating system. Follow the steps in this section to enable a virtual IP Address on APPHOST1. In a UNIX environment, the command must be run as the root user: 1. On APPHOST1, run the ifconfig command to get the value of the netmask. In a UNIX environment, run this command as the root user. For example: [rootAPPHOST1 ~] sbinifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:43:D7:5B:06 inet addr:139.185.140.51 Bcast:139.185.140.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:43ff:fed7:5b0664 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10626133 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10951629 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4036851474 3.7 GiB TX bytes:2770209798 2.5 GiB Base address:0xecc0 Memory:dfae0000-dfb00000 2. On APPHOST1, bind the virtual IP Address to the network interface card using ifconfig. In a UNIX environment, run this command as the root user. Use a netmask value that was obtained in Step 1. The syntax and usage for the ifconfig command is as follows: sbinifconfig networkCardInterface Virtual_IP_Address netmask netMask For example: sbinifconfig eth0:1 100.200.140.206 netmask 255.255.255.0 3. Update the routing table using arping. In a UNIX environment, run this command as the root user. sbinarping -q -U -c 3 -I networkCardInterface Virtual_IP_Address For example: sbinarping -q -U -c 3 -I eth0 100.200.140.206 See also Section 2.2.3.1, Enabling Virtual IPs for the Managed Servers for information about enabling VIP2 and VIP3 for the Managed Servers on APPHOST1 and APPHOST2.

5.5.2 Create a Machine for the Administration Server

Create a new machine and assign the Administration Server to the new machine using the Administration Console. 1. Log in to the Administration Console.

2. In the Change Center, click Lock Edit.

3. In the Environment section of the Home page, click Machines.

4. On the Summary of Machines page, select the Machine that is associated with the Administration Server from under the Machines table and click Clone. For example: APPHOST1.MYCOMPANY.COM. 5. On the Clone a Machine page, enter the Name of the Machine under the Machine Identity section and click OK. For example, enter ADMINHOST as the machine name. 5-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence 6. On the Summary of Machines page, click the newly created Machine link.

7. On the Settings page for the ADMINHOST machine, select the Servers tab.

8. Click Add under the Servers table.

9. On the Add a Server to Machine page, choose Select an existing server, and

associate it with this machine option . 10. Choose the AdminServer from the drop-down menu.

11. Click Finish to associate the Administration Server with the Machine.

12. In the Change Center, click Activate Changes.

5.5.3 Enabling the Administration Server to Listen on the Virtual IP Address

Ensure that you have performed the steps described in Section 5.5.1, Enabling ADMINVHN on APPHOST1 before setting the Administration Server listen address. Perform these steps to set the Administration Server listen address: 1. Log in to the Administration Console.

2. In the Change Center, click Lock Edit.

3. Expand the Environment node in the Domain Structure window.

4. Click Servers. The Summary of Servers page is displayed.

5. Select AdminServeradmin in the Names column of the table. The Setting page

for AdminServeradmin is displayed.

6. Set the Listen Address to ADMINVHN.

7. Click Save.

8. Click Activate Changes.

9. The changes will not take effect until the Administration Server is restarted. Follow these steps to restart the Administration Server:
