Step-2: Portal and database deployment strategies

NetBackup IT Analytics Portal and Oracle database components are typically installed on the same server. Before you install the components on the same server, you must check the required rpms and server space, and install the Oracle database application on the same machine. If the Portal and database components are installed on different systems, you must perform both the tasks on the respective systems.

The portal and database installers allow installations on custom or default (/opt) path on the system. Hence, the absolute install path of Oracle and Portal is represented as <install_path>. Substitute <install_path> with the absolute path of the Portal or Oracle database installation as applicable. If Oracle or the Portal is installed on the default path, substitute <install_path> with the default path.

Installing Portal and Oracle database binaries

Local Administrator privileges are required to install all Portal Server components. For the typical Portal installation, the installation process consists of these main tasks:

  1. Verify that you have the latest binaries for the version you are installing.

  2. Install Oracle application binaries.

  3. Install the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal software components and the database schema.
