infrastructure. For example, if the infrastructure is running on the primary node but
you want to install the middle tier on the secondary node, the installer is unable to
detect which ports the infrastructure is using. In this situation, you need to set up a
staticports.ini
file to specify port numbers for the middle tier. See
"Using Custom Port Numbers (the "Static Ports" Feature)"
for details.
To see which ports the infrastructure is using, view the ORACLE_
HOME/install/portlist.ini
file, where ORACLE_HOME refers to the directory
where you installed the infrastructure.
8.10.1.2 Rename the /var/opt/oracle Directory Used for the Infrastructure
Set up the environment so that the middle tier will have its own inventory directory,
instead of using the same inventory directory used by the infrastructure. To do this,
you need to rename the /var/opt/oracle directory to something else so that the
installer will prompt you to enter a new inventory directory. The following example
renames it to oracle.infra.
prompt> su
Password: root_password
# cd /var/opt
# mv oracle oracle.infra
When the installer prompts for the inventory directory, specify a directory on the local
storage or on a disk other than the one where you installed the OracleAS
Infrastructure.
When the middle-tier installation is complete, do the following rename operations:
prompt> su
Password: root_password
# cd /var/opt
# mv oracle oracle.mt see (1)
# mv oracle.infra oracle see (2)
(1) This command renames the oracle directory created by the installer when it
installed the middle tier.
(2) This command renames the oracle.infra directory back to oracle.
The /var/opt/oracle directory is not used during Oracle Application Server
runtime. The only time you need it is when you run the installer (for example, to
de-install an instance or to expand an instance).
Be sure the correct oracle directory is in place before you run the installer.
8.10.2 Procedure for Installing Middle Tiers Against an OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster
Infrastructure
To install middle tiers against OracleAS Infrastructure in an OracleAS Cold Failover
Cluster, follow the middle tier installation procedures as documented in Oracle
Application Server Installation Guide for the middle tier release, but with these
differences:
■
In the Register with Oracle Internet Directory screen, enter the virtual hostname in
the Hostname field.
■
If you are installing the middle tier on an OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster node,
you must follow these additional requirements:
