Shared Storage Configuring the Oracle Database

11-20 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide ■ Oracle Inbound Refinery IBR All products will be installed on the same machines, with the exception of Inbound Refinery, which is assumed to be on remote machines. If you do not want to install Oracle IPM or Oracle URM, ignore the references to these products in the configuration steps.

11.3.1 Shared Storage

Cluster members require shared storage to access the same configuration files. This should be set up to be accessible from all nodes in the cluster. When configuring Oracle UCMURMIBR clusters, follow these requirements: ■ For Oracle UCM clusters, all members of the cluster must point to the same configuration directory. This directory must be on a shared disk accessible to all members of the cluster. ■ For Oracle URM clusters, all members of the cluster must point to the same configuration directory. This directory must be on a shared disk accessible to all members of the cluster. ■ For Oracle IBR, each member of the IBR cluster must have its own separate configuration directory. This directory can be on local disk or shared disk. If the latter, care must be taken that the same directory is not used by multiple IBRs. Take care if you install UCM and IBR on the same machines; configuration directories for all products are in the same subdirectory. By default, this directory is under DOMAIN_HOME but you can configure this for any other directory. If IBR servers share the ibr directory, an error appears when you try to start the second server: csRefineryFileSystemLocked=Inbound Refinery {1} on machine {2} cannot start because the file {3} exists. The most likely cause of this failure to start is that this IBR is configured as a cluster node; the IBR does not support a clustered environment. To disable this check set EnableReserveDirectoryCheck=false but do not use it to run IBR nodes on the same file system.

11.3.2 Configuring the Oracle Database

Configure the Oracle RAC database before completing this procedure. The Repository Creation Utility RCU ships on its own CD as part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g kit. To run RCU and create the Oracle UCM schemas in an Oracle RAC database repository, follow these steps on any available host: 1. Issue this command: prompt RCU_HOMEbinrcu

2. On the Welcome screen, click Next.

3. On the Create Repository screen, select the Create operation to load component

schemas into an existing database. Click Next. Configuring High Availability for Enterprise Content Management 11-21 4. On the Database Connection Details screen, enter connection information for the existing database as follows: Database Type: Oracle Database Host Name: Name of the computer on which the database is running. For an Oracle RAC database, specify the VIP name or one node name. Example: ECMDBHOST1-VIP or ECMDBHOST2-VIP Port: The port number for the database. Example: 1521 Service Name: The service name of the database. Example: ecmha.mycompany.com Username: SYS Password: The SYS user password Role: SYSDBA Click Next. If you entered everything correctly, a dialog box will display with the words Operation Completed. If so, click OK. If not, you will see an error under Messages , such as Unable to connect to the database or Invalid usernamepassword. 5. On the Select Components screen, create a new prefix and select the components to be associated with this deployment: Create a New Prefix : ecm Components: Select only the components for which you intend to create schemas. Under Oracle AS Repository Components Enterprise Content Management, choose these components: ■ Oracle Content Server 11g - Complete ■ Oracle Universal Records Management 11g ■ Oracle Imaging and Process Management Click Next. If you entered everything correctly, a dialog box will display with the words Operation Completed. If so, click OK. If not, you will see an error under Messages that you will need to resolve before continuing.

6. On the Schema Passwords screen, ensure that Use same passwords for all

schemas is selected. This password will be used in a later step for Content Server to connect to this database schema. Click Next. 7. On the Map Tablespaces screen, click Next. When the warning dialog box appears, click OK. The tablespace creation results should appear in a dialog with the text Operation completed. Click OK.

8. On the Summary screen, click Create.

9. On the Completion Summary screen, click Close.
