Step-2: Portal and database deployment strategies
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.
Local Administrator privileges are required to install all Portal Server components. For the typical Portal installation, the installation process consists of these main tasks:
Verify that you have the latest binaries for the version you are installing.
Install Oracle application binaries.
Install the IT Analytics Portal software components and the database schema.
