Introduction
This document describes the steps needed to configure and install Oracle E-Business Suite 11i in Oracles Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems, as well as the value proposition offered by the solution, including easy setup and management. It covers the following topics. Preparing an unified storage system for Oracle database storage Preparing an Oracle Solaris server to use NFS file systems Installing Oracle E-Business Suite on the Oracle Solaris server and creating a database on the storage system Separating database transaction log files from data files and storing on the storage system Taking a snapshot of an online Oracle database and recovery from the snapshot
Value Proposition
Running an Oracle database with data and transaction log files stored on an unified storage system NAS storage system has several advantages. Data protection features. Unified storage system has data protection features including snapshots, rollback, cloning and remote replication. Fast snapshots and quick recovery. The snapshot feature is almost instantaneous. Also, during rollback, since there is no data copying involved, an incredible amount of time is saved as the file system is put back to the original state it was at the time the snapshot was taken.
Availability and reliability. The unified storage system snapshot can create a database backup in a matter of seconds without bringing a database down along with various RAID configurations.
In addition, unified storage system leverage the following key features. Oracle Solaris. Key features for NAS include the high-performance Fire Engine networking stack for IPv4 and IPv6. Analytics. A graphical user interface based on Oracle Solaris Dynamice Tracing (DTrace) enables real-time performance analysis and debugging. Oracle Solaris ZFS. The world's first 128-bit file system, with key features such as checksum, copy on write, cloning, snapshot and iSCSI support. Fault Management Architecture (FMA). The FMA provides unique self-healing diagnosis for common hardware problems.

Configuring the Unified Storage System and Oracle Database Server

Before creating a database on the unified storage system, a series of steps must be performed on the database server and the storage system.
Configuring the Unified Storage System

1. 2. 3. Login to the unified storage system using a Web browser: https://<host-name>:215. Create a new project. Click on Shares -> Projects. In the Projects menu click on Add. Type a name for the project and click Apply. Change the project properties for the NFS protocol to make NFS file systems accessible for the database servers.

Click on Protocols. Under NFS section, click on the EXCEPTION section. Select DNS Domain. Add sfbay.Sun.COM. Select Read/Write Access. Check root access. Select Host x4150-241-01.sfbay.sun.com. Select Read/Write Access. Check root access.
4.
Change the project properties, such as database record size and volume block size. Go to the Shares view. Click on General. Set the property values for Database record size in the Inheritable Properties section and Volume block size in the LUN creation defaults section. In this experiment, we choose 64K for both the database record size and volume block size. You can also change the export directory. The default is /export.
5.
Create the file systems. Go to the Shares. Click Shares. Click FILESYSTEMS. Click Add New... to create a new file system share. For example, the following creates a file system named OracleEBS.
Four files systems are created: oradata (for control files, etc.), oradat_4 (for redo log files), admin (for udump, bdump etc.), and mydatafile (for the entire bench mark db).
Installing Oracle Benchmark Database

The following sections describe the installation of the Oracle benchmark database.
Configuring the Database System to Use the NFS File System

All the steps documented below as run as the root user unless otherwise stated.
1.
Create mount points.

/opt/oracle/oradata /opt/oracle/oradata_4 (RedoLogFiles) /opt/oracle/admin
2.
Add NFS file systems mount entries to /etc/vfstab. The unified storage system host name is x4500240-02.sfbay in this example.
x4500-240-02.sfbay:/export/OracleEBS/oradata - /opt/oracle/oradata nfs no rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,vers=3,noac,forcedirectio x4500-240-02.sfbay:/export/OracleEBS/oradata4 - /opt/oracle/oradata4 nfs no rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,vers=3,noac,forcedirectio x4500-240-02.sfbay:/export/OracleEBS/admin - /opt/oracle/admin nfs no rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,vers=3,noac,forcedirectio
3.
Mount the NFS file systems and verify the read/write access.
mount -F nfs -o hard,rw,noac,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,suid,proto=tcp,vers=3 x4500-240-02.sfbay:/export/OracleEBS/oradata /opt/oracle/oradata mount -F nfs -o hard,rw,noac,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,suid,proto=tcp,vers=3 x4500-240-02.sfbay:/export/OracleEBS/oradata4 /opt/oracle/oradata_4 mount -F nfs -o hard,rw,noac,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,suid,proto=tcp,vers=3 x4500-240-02.sfbay:/export/OracleEBS/admin /opt/oracle/admin
4.
Verify that the mount points are listed in the output. Also verify the read/write access on the file systems using the touch(1M) command. You should be able to create and delete files on the NFS file systems. Create the oracle user.
# mkdir -p /export/home/oracle # useradd -d /export/home/oracle -s /bin/ksh oracle # passwd oracle (password: or04ebs)
5.
6.
Obtain the benchmark database files for Oracle 10g R1 database server from Oracle. Untar the database server files in the home directory of the oracle user.
# cd /export/home/oracle # tar xf oracle10.1.0.tar # mkdir -p /opt/oracle/oradata/VIS (for all *.dbf files except redo log files) # mkdir -p /opt/oracle/oradata_4/RedoLogFiles (for redo log files) # mkdir -p /opt/oracle/admin/VIS
7.
Create udump, bdump, and cdump directories under the admin/VIS directory.
# cd /opt/oracle/admin/VIS # mkdir udump bdump cdump # chown oracle:dba
8.
Make sure the domainname command returns the proper domain name.
% domainname mpklab.sfbay.sun.com
9.
Edit the /etc/inet/hosts file. Make sure you use the private network IP addresses for the database server, application server, and Load Runner driver PC. It typically looks like the following.
10.6.241.234 x4150-241-01.sfbay.sun.com x4150-241-01 loghost 10.6.240.162 t2000-240-10.sfbay.sun.com t2000-240-10 129.146.44.113 v20zwin-44-03.sfbay.sun.com v20zwin-44-03
10. Add the following line to the /export/home/oracle/.profile file. Replace hostname with the host name of the database server. Make sure the *.env file exists.
ENV=/oracle/product/10.1.0/VIS_<hostname>.env [root] mkdir -p /oracle/product cd /oracle/product [root] ln -s /export/home/oracle/10.1.0 10.1.0
11. Adjust initVIS.ora parameters. Make sure you set cursor_space_for_time to FALSE. Otherwise the database server can consume more memory without exhibiting any additional benefits. 12. Close all open terminals to the database server. Connect to the database server again using telnet or ssh so the new profile gets used. 13. Start up the database as sysdba.

The listener supports no services The command completed successfully % netstat -a | grep 1521 *.1521 *.* 0 0 400000 0 LISTEN
21. Edit tcp.invited_nodes in $TNS_ADMIN/sqlnet.ora.

cd $TNS_ADMIN cp sqlnet.ora sqlnet.ora.orig Add the application, concurrent server node names to tcp.invited_nodes diff sqlnet.ora.orig sqlnet.ora < tcp.invited_nodes=(BEN04.etc.sfbay.sun.com) > tcp.invited_nodes=(t2000-240-10.sfbay.sun.com,X4150-24101.sfbay.sun.com)
At this point, restart the listeners on all application server nodes, concurrent server nodes, and the database server node(s). 22. On Oracle Solaris 10 and later systems, disable the Web console. It is not useful for this benchmark project, and it consumes some memory by running a java process as the noaccess user.
# svcadm -v disable webconsole svc:/system/webconsole:console disabled.
23. Add some swap space.
12
# mkfile 3072M /extraswap # ls -l /extraswap -rw------T 1 root root 3221225472 Sep 16 10:12 /extraswap # swap -a /extraswap # swap -l swapfile dev swaplo blocks free /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 61,65 8 2104504 2104504 /extraswap - 8 6291448 6291448
24. Set the following TCP/IP parameters.

# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 60000 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q 1024 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q0 4096 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_ip_abort_interval 60000 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 900000 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_rexmit_interval_initial 3000 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_rexmit_interval_max 10000 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_rexmit_interval_min 3000 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_smallest_anon_port 1024 # # # # ndd ndd ndd ndd -set -set -set -set /dev/tcp /dev/tcp /dev/tcp /dev/tcp tcp_slow_start_initial 2 tcp_xmit_hiwat 400000 tcp_recv_hiwat 400000 tcp_max_buf 4194304

25. Proactively set the shmsys:shminfo_shmmax parameter using prctl on Oracle Solaris 10 or later to avoid the ORA-27102: out of memory error.
% prtconf | grep Mem Memory size: 65408 Megabytes % id -p uid=216377(oracle) gid=2294(dba) projid=3(default) % prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project 3 project: 3: default NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT project.max-shm-memory privileged 15.6GB -deny system 16.0EB max deny # prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -r -v 32G -i project 3 # prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project 3 project: 3: default NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT project.max-shm-memory
13
privileged 32.0GB -deny system 16.0EB max deny
Note that changes done with prctl command on a running system are temporary and will be lost when the system is rebooted. To make the changes permanent, create a project using the projadd command as shown below.
# projadd -p 102 -c 'eBS benchmark' -U oracle -G dba -K 'project.maxshmmemory=(privileged,32G,deny)' OASB
26. Make sure the project is created with the projects -l or cat /etc/project commands.
# cat /etc/project ... OASB:102:eBS benchmark:oracle:dba:project.max-shmmemory=( privileged,34359738368,deny) # projects -l OASB OASB projid : 102 comment: "eBS benchmark" users : oracle groups : dba attribs: project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,34359738368,deny)
27. Create the following indexes as sysdba.

ORACLE instance shut down.
29. Since we had to reload the database after a few Load Runner tests, backup the database (*.dbf files) using the snapshot option. See the Taking a Snapshot of an Online Oracle Database section.
Installing Oracle Application Server 11i

The following steps describe how to install the Oracle Application Server 11i software and setup the middle tier. 1. Set up and configure the directory.
# mkdir /ebiz # useradd -d /export/home/oracle -s /bin/ksh oracle # passwd oracle (password: or04ebs) # chown oracle:dba /ebiz
2. 3.
Obtain the Oracle Benchmark APPLTOP tar files (visappl.tar, viscomn.tar, visora.tar), as well as the JDK 1.5 (jdk1.5.0_09.tar) and cache.jar files. Untar the APPLTOP tar files.
# cd /ebiz # tar xf jdk1.5.0_09.tar # tar xf visappl.tar # tar xf viscomn.tar # tar xf visora.tar
15
4.
Add the following line to the /export/home/oracle/.profile file.

ENV=/ebiz/visappl/APPSORA.env
5.
Make sure domainname returns proper domain name.

% domainname mpklab.sfbay.sun.com
6.
Edit the /etc/inet/hosts file. Make sure you use the private network IP addresses for the database server, application server, and Load Runner driver PC. Typical entries look like the following.
10.6.241.234 x4150-241-01.sfbay.sun.com x4150-241-01 10.6.240.162 t2000-240-10.sfbay.sun.com t2000-240-10 loghost 129.146.44.113 v20zwin-44-03.sfbay.sun.com v20zwin-44-03
7. 8.
Comment out ENV=/ebiz/visappl/APPSORA.env in the ~/.profile file. Disconnect from the terminal console and reconnect. Go to the scripts directory.
% cd /ebiz/viscomn/admin/scripts
9.
Make a copy of the files.

% cp -R VIS_ben05 VIS_`hostname`
10. Make a copy of the context file.

% grep CTX_FILE adautocfg.sh CTX_FILE="/ebiz/visappl/admin/VIS_ben05.xml" % cp /ebiz/visappl/admin/VIS_ben05.xml /ebiz/visappl/admin/VIS_`hostname`.xml
11. Edit the /ebiz/visappl/admin/VIS_hostname.xml context file.

* Check the database, application server names * Check the domain name * Edit AF_CLASSPATH and CLASSPATH to include /ebiz/cache.jar at the front * Edit 'KeepAliveTimeout' to 90 from 15 seconds * Make sure there aren't any extra entries under jdbc connection * LOAD_BALANCE=YES even though there is only one node <--- remove the extra/unnecessary nodes * Edit the JVM options * -verbose:gc -Xmx512M -Xms512M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:NewRatio=2 -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+UseTLE -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -Xverify: none -Xrs * Add -XX:LargePageSizeInBytes=4M on Niagara / Niagara 2 systems. Otherwise JVM
16
uses 256M pages for 'anon' segments that may increase the memory footprint * Add -XX:LargePageSizeInBytes=32M on Panther systems
In the case of multinode deployments (multiple application server nodes), you must use a hardware load balancer such as Oracles Sun Secure Application Switch N1400 to balance the application server load among the application servers. Without the switch, all the requests go to the last added application server (the application server node on which the AutoConfig script was run for the last time). In a multinode deployment, use the host/IP address of the load balancer for disco_machine, webentryhost, and login_page in the $CONTEXT_FILE file. 12. Run the /ebiz/viscomn/admin/scripts/VIS_`hostname`/adautocfg.sh script.
% ./adautocfg.sh Enter the APPS user password: AutoConfig is configuring the Applications environment... AutoConfig will consider the custom templates if present.

20. On Oracle Solaris 10 and later systems, disable the Web console. It is not useful for this benchmark project and it consumes some memory by running a java process as noaccess user.
# svcadm -v disable webconsole svc:/system/webconsole:console disabled.
21. Add some swap space.

# mkfile 3072M /extraswap ls -l /extraswap -rw------T 1 root root 3221225472 Jan 15 05:37 /extraswap # swap -a /extraswap # swap -l swapfile dev swaplo blocks free /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 32,1 16 2106416 2106416 /extraswap - 16 6291440 6291440

22. Set the following TCP/IP parameters.

# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 60000 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q 1024 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q0 4096 # ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_ip_abort_interval 60000 # # # # ndd ndd ndd ndd -set -set -set -set /dev/tcp /dev/tcp /dev/tcp /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 900000 tcp_rexmit_interval_initial 3000 tcp_rexmit_interval_max 10000 tcp_rexmit_interval_min 3000

23. Start the application server processes.

# cd $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/VIS_`hostname` # adapcctl.sh start # adcmctl.sh start apps/apps # adfrmctl.sh start apps/apps
24. Check the process counts. Run the following script.

counts.sh echo Java count .. ps -eaf | grep java | grep -v grep | wc echo httpd count .. ps -eaf | grep httpd | grep -v grep | wc echo FND count .. ps -eaf | grep FND | grep -v grep | wc echo Forms count .. ps -eaf | grep f60 | grep -v grep | wc echo Reports count .. ps -eaf | grep ar60 | grep -v grep | wc
The script should return something similar to the output below.

Java count .. 16 184 2096 httpd count .. 21 252 2751 FND count ..
20
32 70 712 Forms count .. 2 21 199 Reports count .. 0 0 0
If you see less than 32 FND_* processes, most likely the concurrent managers are not up. Check step 25 below for setting up the concurrent managers. 25. Set up the content managers.
* In a web browser (IE 6.0 or later), bring up the Oracle Applications login page * http://<hostname>.<domainname>:8000 * eg., http://t2000-240-10.sfbay.sun.com:8000 * * * * Login -> Apps Logon Links -> Logon to E-Business Suite Home Login as OPERATIONS/WELCOME System Administrator responsibility Concurrent Manager -> Define
* In the applet: View -> Query By Example -> Enter * Search for the following concurrent managers and change the primary concurrent processing nodes: (enter the following strings in 'Manager' field and View -> Query By Example -> Run) 1) 2) 3) 4) Inventory Manager Standard Manager INV Remote Procedure Manager Internal Manager, and
5)Conflict Resolution Manager 6)
After this step, the process counts output should be similar to the output below.
% counts Java count .. 16 184 2096 httpd count .. 22 264 2882 FND count .. 32 381 4118 Forms count .. 2 21 199 Reports count .. 0 0 0
26. If the threads of O2C and/or Payroll batches need to be increased beyond 20, search for Standard Manager. Increase the cache size. Click on Work Shifts and increase Processes.
21
27. Proactively set the Launch on date to the current date in the Campaign schedule to avoid Lead2Proposal script failures.
* Login as IASN1/welcome * Sales user responsibility * If you see the string "No data exists" under "Cross Sell/Up Sell Sales Campaign", you must take the following action: * Shortcuts -> Sales Campaigns * Status = Active, Start Date = today's date - 365 days i.e., last year's date, End Date = today's date. Go. * Select IeBS Sales Campaign Schedule under Results table * Modify "Launch On" to today's date * Click on Save * Click on "Sales Dashboard" link, scroll down and check the "Cross Sell/Up Sell Sales Campaign" table.
You must see IeBS Sales Campaign Schedule. If not, repeat the steps above until you see IeBS Sales Campaign Schedule under the Cross Sell/Up Sell Sales Campaign table.
