Step-2: Portal and database deployment strategies
NetBackup IT Analytics Portal and Oracle database components are typically installed on the same server. If the components are to be installed 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.
If you are performing an installer-based deployment, you can choose between a Standard and Split Architecture install. The decision to install Portal and Oracle on the same or different systems will depend on your choice of architecture and your license edition (Standard or Shared Services).
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 all Portal server components requires privileges. TheNetBackup IT Analytics Portal installation is performed in the following order.
To install NetBackup IT Analytics Portal server and oracle database on the same system (Standard installation):
Install Oracle database application binaries and create a database. Select the Standard or Shared Services Edition according to your requirements.
If your NetBackup IT Analytics product license includes entitlement to the embedded Oracle distribution, follow the instructions in the section: Install Oracle database binaries for Standard Edition.
If you are providing your own Oracle database license, follow the instructions in section: Install Oracle database binaries for Shared Service Edition.
Install the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal software components and create the database schema objects.
See Step-5: Install the Portal application binaries (Linux).
To install NetBackup IT Analytics on different systems (Split Architecture):
If you already have Oracle database license and Oracle database application binaries installed and you wanted to use the same server for NetBackup IT Analytics as well, you can directly create database in the database server:
See Create database and users in existing Oracle farm in a Split Architecture deployment..
Login to the Portal system, install the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal software components, and create the database schema objects.
See Step-5: Install the Portal application binaries (Linux)..
The installer creates database schema objects remotely on the database server. The Portal installer installs Oracle client rpms to remotely connect to the database server in this case.
If you do not have Oracle database application binaries already installed:
Login to the database server system, install Oracle database application binaries and create the database, and select the Standard or Shared Services Edition according to your requirements.
If you do not have Oracle Database license, follow the instructions in the section: Install Oracle database binaries for Standard Edition.
If you already have a Oracle Database license, follow the instructions in section: Install Oracle database binaries for Shared Service Edition.
Install the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal software components.
See Step-5: Install the Portal application binaries (Linux).
The installer creates database schema objects remotely on the database server. The Portal installer installs Oracle client rpms to remotely connect to the database server in this case.
