describes the load balancer prerequisites for deploying an Oracle RTD high availability environment. Tip: Note the name of this schema because the upcoming steps require this information. Tip: Note the names of the schema passwords because the upcoming steps require this information. Configuring High Availability for Oracle Business Intelligence and EPM 15-111 Load Balancers Oracle RTD uses a hardware load balancer when deployed in a high availability configuration with two Oracle HTTP Servers as web tier components. Virtual Server Names bi.mycompany.com is a virtual server name that acts as the access point for all HTTP traffic to the runtime BI components, such as Oracle RTD. Traffic to both SSL and non-SSL ports is configured, and typically non-SSL is redirected to SSL. Clients access this service using the address bi.mycompany.com:443. This virtual server is defined on the load balancer.

15.3.3.1.5 Installing Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2 This section

describes how to install Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1. 1. Verify that the servers meet the following requirements: ■ Ensure that the system, patch, kernel and other requirements are met. These are listed in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Web Tier in the Oracle Fusion Middleware documentation library for the platform and version you are using. ■ Ensure that port 7777 is not in use by any service on WEBHOST1 by issuing these commands for the operating system you are using. If a port is not in use, no output is returned from the command. On UNIX: netstat -an | grep 7777 On Windows: netstat -an | findstr :7777 If the port is in use if the command returns output identifying the port, you must free the port. On UNIX: Remove the entries for port 7777 in the etcservices file and restart the services, or restart the computer. On Windows: Stop the component that is using the port. ■ Copy the staticports.ini file from the Disk1stageResponse directory to a temporary directory. ■ Edit the staticports.ini file that you copied to the temporary directory to assign the following custom ports uncomment the line where you specify the port number for Oracle HTTP Server: The port for Oracle HTTP server Oracle HTTP Server port = 7777 2. Start the Oracle Universal Installer for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Web Tier Utilities CD installation as follows: On UNIX: Issue the command: .runinstaller On Windows: 15-112 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide Double-click setup.exe. This displays the Specify Inventory Directory screen. 3. On the Specify Inventory Directory screen, enter values for the Oracle Inventory Directory and the Operating System Group Name. For example: Specify the Inventory Directory : u01apporaInventory Operating System Group Name : oinstall A dialog box appears with the following message: Certain actions need to be performed with root privileges before the install can continue. Please execute the script u01apporaInventorycreateCentralInventory.sh now from another window and then press Ok to continue the install. If you do not have the root privileges and wish to continue the install select the Continue installation with local inventory option Log in as root and run the u01apporaInventorycreateCentralInventory.sh This sets the required permissions for the Oracle Inventory Directory and then brings up the Welcome screen.
