Portal server setup


About this task

The portal server cluster includes the following resources:

The generic setup of the portal server on a cluster includes the following steps:


Procedure

  1. Install the database middleware locally on both nodes.

  2. Set up the database users and groups to be exactly the same on both nodes.

  3. Remove automatic startup of the database middleware, so it can run under cluster control.

  4. Set up the basic cluster resource group with shared persistent storage, virtual IP address, and the database middleware.

  5. Create the portal server database on the first node of the cluster (shared persistent storage).

  6. Catalog the portal server database on the second node of the cluster.

  7. Install the portal server on the first node of the cluster (shared persistent storage).

  8. Disable autostart of the portal server service (if applicable to your platform).

  9. Bind the portal server to the virtual IP address.

  10. Set up the monitoring server on the second node of the cluster (depending on the platform, this might involve copying registry keys, environment variables, or both to the second node).

  11. Add the portal server as a resource to the resource group.

    The setup of the portal server on different platforms and cluster managers has variations; in this document, the setup is described for the specific cluster managers mentioned in this document.
