Task 4: Installing Portal application binaries (Windows)

In this procedure, you will install Portal Server software on your Windows Server.

System: Web/Application Server

To install your Portal Server software

  1. Log in to the Portal Server as a Local Administrator.

    Note:

    Oracle requires that you are logged in as a Local Administrator. Logging in as a Domain Administrator is not sufficient for this installation.

  2. Go to the downloads section under Support at www.veritas.com and click the relevant download link.

    • Once downloaded, the Portal Installation Wizard launches automatically. If it does not, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the executable and double-click the file: Setup.exe

    • The Portal Installation Wizard requires about a minute to start up. During this time, the following window is displayed:.

      Once the Portal Installation Wizard extracts the necessary startup files, the Portal Installation Wizard displays the launch screen.

  3. Click Next to start the installation process.

    The Portal Installation Wizard validates the system environment. Once the installer has validated successfully, click Next.

  4. End User License Agreement (EULA) is displayed. If you agree to the terms of EULA, select I accept the terms of the License Agreement and click Next.
  5. Provide the following details on the next form and click Next.

    • Enter the hostname or IP address of the server on which the Oracle Application binaries are installed. The installer prompts for the IP Address of your Oracle database server. If Oracle is running on the Portal server, you can enter localhost.

    • Enter the domain name for your environment (Example: yourcompany.com). The value entered here determines the URL you will use in your browser to access the portal. (For example: itanalyticsportal.yourcompany.com)

    • Select the drive letter on which you intend to create the Oracle database. The Portal Installation Wizard customizes the Database SQL Script based on the drive letter. Note the disk space requirement for this drive.

  6. Review the installation summary.

    The screen summarizes the product components that will be installed and describes the available and required disk space for the components before initiating the installation.

  7. Click Next to begin the installation. The default location is C:\opt.
  8. Review the Post Install details and click Next.
  9. The installer creates the database. Click Next once the database creation is complete.
  10. An evaluation license is installed. Click Next once the status displays License has been installed successfully.
  11. On success installation of the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal, click Finish to exit the installation wizard.
