Introduction

This document describes the steps needed to configure and install Oracle E-Business Suite

11i in Oracle’s 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.


2

• 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. Login to the unified storage system using a Web browser: https://<host-name>:215.

2. Create a new project. Click on Shares -> Projects. In the Projects menu click on Add. Type a name for

the project and click Apply.

3. 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.


5

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.


6

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).


7

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.


8

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 x4500-

240-02.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 -


x4500-240-02.sfbay:/export/OracleEBS/admin - /opt/oracle/admin nfs -


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


x4500-240-02.sfbay:/export/OracleEBS/oradata4 /opt/oracle/oradata_4


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.

5. Create the oracle user.

# mkdir -p /export/home/oracle

# useradd -d /export/home/oracle -s /bin/ksh oracle

# passwd oracle (password: or04ebs)

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


9

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.

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

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.

# ndd -set /dev/udp udp_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

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.maxshm-

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. 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.

3. 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


16

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. Comment out ENV=/ebiz/visappl/APPSORA.env in the ~/.profile file. Disconnect from the

terminal console and reconnect.

8. 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


17

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 Oracle’s 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.

15. Add the following two lines to the /ebiz/visora/iAS/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.properties file after the

wrapper.bin.parameters=-DLONG_RUNNING_JVM=true entry.

#STO - Workaround for bug 4129750

wrapper.bin.parameters=-DCACHEMODE=DISTRIBUTED

16. Increase OACoreGroup JVMs to 10 from 1 in the /ebiz/visora/iAS/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.conf file.

(This assumes the application server is being configured for 1,000 online users.)

17. Set ApJServLocalRouteAffinity to OFF in the /ebiz/visora/iAS/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.conf file.

This step ensures no log activity to the /ebiz/visora/iAS/Apache/Jserv/logs/jvm/mod_jserv.log file.

18. Update APPL_SERVER_ID.

# cd $FND_SECURE

# cp <db_server_host>_vis.dbc vis.dbc

19. Start the listener.

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

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 -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_xmit_hiwat 400000

# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat 400000

# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_max_buf 4194304

# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_cwnd_max 2097152

# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_fin_wait_2_flush_interval 67500

# ndd -set /dev/udp udp_xmit_hiwat 400000

# ndd -set /dev/udp udp_recv_hiwat 400000

# ndd -set /dev/udp udp_max_buf 4194304

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 ..


21

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) Inventory Manager

2) Standard Manager

3) INV Remote Procedure Manager

4) 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.


22

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.
