2.3.3 Shared Storage Configuration

The following steps show to create and mount shared storage locations so that APPHOST1 and APPHOST2 can see the same location for binary installation in two separate volumes. nasfiler is the shared storage filer. From APPHOST1: APPHOST1 mount nasfiler:volvol1u01apporacleproductfmw u01apporacleproductfmw -t nfs From APPHOST2: APPHOST2 mount nasfiler:volvol2u01apporacleproductfmw u01apporacleproductfmw -t nfs If only one volume is available, users can provide redundancy for the binaries by using two different directories in the shared storage and mounting them to the same dir in the APPHOST servers: From APPHOST1: APPHOST1 mount nasfiler:volvol1u01apporacleproductfmw1 u01apporacleproductfmw -t nfs From APPHOST2: APPHOST2 mount nasfiler:volvol2u01apporacleproductfmw2 u01apporacleproductfmw -t nfs The following commands show how to share the BI TX logs location across different nodes: APPHOST1 mount nasfiler:volvol1u01apporaclestoresbifoundation_domain bi_clustertlogs u01apporaclestoresbifoundation_domain bi_clustertlogs -t nfs APHOST2 mount nasfiler:volvol1u01apporaclestoresbifoundatin_domain bi_clustertlogs u01apporaclestoresbifoundation_domain bi_clustertlogs -t nfs The Managed Server domain directories can be on a local disk or a shared disk. To share the Managed Server domain directories on multiple computers, you must mount the same shared disk location across the computers. The instance_ name directory for the Web tier can be on a local disk or a shared disk. Fixed name. Installation-dependent name. Table 2–3 Cont.

2.3.4 Ensuring That Shared Network Files Are Accessible in Windows Environments

In Windows environments, shared storage is typically specified using Universal Naming Convention UNC. UNC is a PC format for specifying locations of resources on a local area network. UNC uses the following format: \\server_name\shared_resource_path_name In addition, you must use named users to run OPMN processes in Windows environments so that the shared network files are accessible. To run OPMN processes using a named user: 1. Open the Services dialog. For example, select Start Programs Administrative Tools Services .

2. Right-click OracleProcessManager_instancen and then select Properties.

3. Select the Log On tab.

4. Select This account, and then provide a user name and password.

5. Click OK.
