Task 3: Install Oracle database application binaries (Linux)

This section covers the prerequisites and installation of Oracle database application binaries for both shared service edition and non-shared service edition. Typically, the Oracle Database application binaries are installed on the same server as the Portal binaries.

Prerequisites

Typically, the Oracle Database application binaries are installed on the same server as the Portal binaries. Some OS-specific basic requirements are listed below for quick reference. Detailed prerequisites are described under Pre-installation configuration section of the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal Install and Upgrade Guide for Linux and Windows respectively.

  1. Identify the portal server.

  2. Ensure the OS on the portal server is certified according to the NetBackup IT Analytics Certified Configuration Guide and has sufficient disk space.

  3. Ensure the third-party software as specified under Supported third-party and open-source products are available on the server.

  4. Ensure the fontconfig rpm and other OS-specific (RHEL 7,8; CENTOS 7; or SUSE Linux Enterprise) rpms are available on the server.

  5. Ensure ports 80/tcp, 8011, and 8017 are open in the firewall for proper functioning of the portal.

  6. Ensure that either ss or netstat command is available on the system.

Also, refer the instructions provided with your purchase agreement confirmation email and consult Veritas Support for additional assistance.

Install Oracle database binaries for shared service edition:

Prerequisites for the installation of Oracle database binaries for the shared service edition:

  • For an installer-based deployment, download LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip from Oracle Download Center.

  • Obtain a Standard or Enterprise edition license.

  • For an Enterprise edition license, set the environment veriable ORACLE_LICENSE_OPTION to EE.

    # export ORACLE_LICENSE_OPTION=EE
Install Oracle database binaries for shared service edition:

To install the Oracle database binaries for shared service edition:

  1. Verify that you have the current version of the Oracle 19c Installer binaries.
  2. Login as root on the server where the NetBackup IT Analytics Database will be installed. Typically, this is also the Portal server.
  3. Place the ISO image into the /mnt directory.
  4. Mount the ISO image that you downloaded.
    mkdir /mnt/diskd
    mount -o loop <itanalytics_dbinstaller_shared-service_linux.iso> 
    /mnt/diskd

    where you substitute the relevant name of the ISO file that you downloaded.

  5. Enter the following commands to start the installer:
    cd /
    /mnt/diskd/install_oracle.sh
    

    The command copies the Oracle binaries into /opt/aptare/oracle.

  6. Press Enter to read the entire EULA license agreement and the pre- acceptance process will begin.

    This takes 3-5 minutes to complete, as it installs files into /opt/aptare/oracle19c.
