5 1 Overview If you are using an Oracle database version different from 11g, the configuration procedure may differ slightly. Before installing IMC 1. Install Oracle Database 11g. 2. Restart the operating system. 3. Install IMC. This guide only provides a generic Oracle database installation procedure. You can configure your Oracle database based on system software and hardware to achieve optimized performance. For more information, see Oracle Database Installation Guide, Oracle Database Quick Installation Guide, and Oracle Universal Installer and OPatch User s Guide at Currently, you can install the database on a separate database server and save the IMC data on the database server. To install the database on a separate database server, follow these guidelines: 1. Create a data file folder on the database server before you start the installation. When deploying the IMC components, you can input the local path to the folder. 2. On the IMC server, install an Oracle client with the same version as the database. CAUTION: Use the Linux 5.0 operating system. 1

6 2 Preparing for installation Before installing Oracle Database 11g, log in to the system as a root user and complete configurations as follows. CAUTION: Type rather than copy and paste commands during database installation to make them correctly recognized. A 32-bit operating system must use the 32-bit Oracle database. A 64-bit operating system must use the 64-bit Oracle database. Checking required software packages Before installing the Oracle database, make sure that you have installed required software packages on the operating system. If you are running Linux AS 5, use rpm qa to check all the installed software packages, and use rpm -q to check whether an rpm file is available. When a software package is not installed, copy the software package to your local device and use the rpm -i xxx.rpm command to install it. The software packages that are to be installed are: binutils compat-libstdc elfutils-libelf elfutils-libelf-devel glibc glibc-common glibc-devel gcc gcc-c libaio-devel libaio libgcc libstdc libstdc++-devel make sysstat unixodbc unixodbc-devel

7 NOTE: You can locate uninstalled software packages in the server directory of the Linux installation disk and use the rpm ivh command to install them. Checking the disk space Before installing the Oracle database, make sure that the hard disk drive where the home directory is located has at least 10 GB free space. The actual memory space requirements for the home directory depend on the managed devices and the number of performance monitoring instances. The hard disk drive where the /tmp directory is located must have at least 400 MB free space. To view available space on hard disk drives, use the following command: #df -k Adjusting kernel parameters To ensure the normal operation of the Oracle database, adjust the kernel parameters in the /etc/sysctl.conf directory using a text editor as follows: vi /etc/sysctl.conf If you are running Linux AS 5, make sure that the following kernel parameters take the same or larger values than those recommended: kernel.shmall= kernel.shmmax= kernel.shmmni=4096 kernel.sem= fs.file-max=65536 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range= net.core.rmem_default= net.core.rmem_max= net.core.wmem_default= net.core.wmem_max= After you adjust the kernel parameters, use the /sbin/sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf command to make them take effect. Creating required user and groups user password Create the oracle user, oinstall group, and dba group before installing Oracle because: Only the oracle user can install, start up, or shut down the Oracle database. The oinstall group user can install Oracle software The dba group user can manage the database. Execute the following commands as the root user: groupadd oinstall groupadd dba useradd -g oinstall -G dba d /home/oracle m s /bin/bash oracle 3

8 Set the Oracle user password: passwd oracle Modifying the access right on the Oracle directory To enable the oracle user to execute the oracle database installation program, you need to modify the owner and access right of the directory where the Oracle database installation program is to be saved. #chown -R oracle:oinstall /home/oracle/ #chmod -R 775 /home/oracle/ Creating the Oracle base directory, directory owner, and access right Use these commands: mkdir -p /u01/app/ chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/ chmod -R 775 /u01/app/ Modifying the profile file To make the environment variables of the Oracle database take effect automatically with the system loading, modify the profile file as follows: #su - root #vi /etc/profile ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.1.0/db_1 ORACLE_SID=orcl PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$HOME/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH where, The directories for ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME are flexibly set specific to the directory structure. ORACLE_SID is the Oracle database instance ID. Specify consistent ORACLE_SID in the subsequent installation procedure. Save the file after setting the environment variable. Setting environment variables for the oracle user To ensure normal startup and operation of the Oracle database, configure the environment variables for the oracle user. For example, set the environment variables in the.bash_profile file in the home directory: su - oracle vi.bash_profile 1. Open the file and set the language environment variable according to the language your system supports. LANG=en_US.UTF-8 4

9 export LANG 2. Add the following line at the end of the text: umask Save the file, exit the system, and re-log in as the oracle user. exit su - oracle export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 Checking the availability of environment variables Before installing the Oracle database, make sure that the environment variables have taken effect. Otherwise, you cannot install the Oracle database. For more information, see "How to verify if the environment variables take effect?" Uploading the Oracle database to be installed Copy the Oracle installation package to the /home/oracle directory and decompress the package. If you use the installation disk, follow the directions on the disk. Now, the preparation for installing the Oracle database is completed. Restart the operating system, and then proceed with the Oracle installation. 5

42 Figure 37 End of Installation 13. Click Exit to complete the installation and start the database connectivity check process. Testing the connectivity between the client and the server After you install and configure the client, test the connectivity between the client and the server, so that you can connect to the database server when you install and deploy IMC. 1. Open the Linux terminal, and execute the following command as an Oracle user: sqlplus as sysdba Where imc123 is the password of the user named sys of the database, and service-test is the network service name connecting to the database server. For more information about the network service name configuration, see "Configuring a network service name." 2. If you can log in successfully, it means that the client can connect to the Oracle server. 38

43 5 Configuring a network service name CAUTION: If IMC servers deployed in distributed mode do not use the same database, do not configure network service names with the same name but different configurations for the IMC servers. When an IMC server does not use the local database server, configure a network service name for the IMC server to connect to its database server and another IMC servers. The network service name includes the parameters, such as the name, host name, protocol, and database name. 1. Execute the command as an Oracle user: netca The window for configuring an Oracle network service name appears, as shown in Figure 38. Figure 38 Welcome interface 2. Select Local Net Service Name configuration, and then click Next. 3. Select Add, and then click Next, as shown in Figure 39. You can also select any other operation as needed. 39

44 Figure 39 Select an operation 4. Enter the service name of the database you want to access, and then click Next, as shown in Figure 40. The service name of an Oracle database is normally its global database name. 40

45 Figure 40 Select a Service Name 5. Select transmission protocol TCP, and then click Next, as shown in Figure

46 Figure 41 Select a protocol 6. Enter the IP address of the database server. If you use a local database, do no enter Select Use the standard port number of 1521, and then click Next, as shown in Figure

48 If the connection fails, click Change Login to change the login username and password. Click Next, as shown in Figure 44. Figure 44 Test interface 9. Still use the username system, enter the password (which was set during the database installation), and then click OK. See Figure

49 Figure 45 Change username and password 10. The interface shows that the connection is successful and you can access the Oracle database server. Click Next, as shown in Figure

50 Figure 46 Test result 11. Enter a name for the network service name. This name is automatically added to the list for selecting a network service name when you install IMC. Click Next, as shown in Figure

51 Figure 47 Enter a name for the network service name 12. If you want to configure another network service name, select Yes, and then click Next. If not, select No, and then click Next. See Figure

52 Figure 48 Option to configure another network service name 13. Click Next to complete network service name configuration, as shown in Figure 49. Figure 49 Complete network service name configuration 48

53 14. Click Finish, as shown in Figure 50. Figure 50 Finish Scenario 1: The following two application scenarios illustrate the network service name configuration: If Server A (IMC master server), and Servers B and C (IMC subordinate servers) use local databases and have been configured with network service names TNSNAME_A for connecting to Server A, TNSNAME_B for connecting to Server B, and TNSNAME_C for connecting to Server C, respectively, you must configure the other two unavailable network service names for each server, for example, TNSNAME_B and TNSNAME_C for Server A. The configuration of the same network service name must be the same, as shown in Figure

54 Figure 51 Network service name configuration scenario Scenario 2: If Server A (IMC master server), and Servers B and C (IMC subordinate servers) use a separate database server DBServer_D and have been configured with a network service name TNSNAME_D for connecting to DBServer_D, Servers A, B, and C can use the network service name TNSNAME_D when you install IMC on them. NOTE: The network service names in the example are for illustration only. 50

55 6 Managing Oracle database 11g To operate the database, you must log in to the system as oracle. Perform the commands in the subsequent sections as the oracle user unless otherwise specified. NOTE: The following operations apply only to the Oracle database server. Enabling the Oracle service manually To enable the Oracle service manually: 1. Enable the listener controller. After rebooting the operating system, enable the listener controller using the following commands: $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin $./lsnrctl start To view the status of the listener controller named lsnrctl, use the following command: $./lsnrctl service 2. Enable the Oracle database. After ensuring that you have successfully started up the listener controller, start up the Oracle database with the following commands: $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin $./sqlplus sys/ora123 as sysdba SQL>startup SQL>exit where, sys is the name of the administrator user of the Oracle database, and the user password is ora123. After running the preceding commands, you can successfully start up the Oracle database. Configuring Oracle database 11g After the installation, make some configurations by changing the configuration file directly or by using the tool netmgr provided by Oracle. The tool netmgr is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ directory. To enable netmgr, use the following commands: $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ $./netmgr & Adding the database service for a listener To add the database service for a listener: 1. On page Oracle Net Manager, select node LISTENER from the navigation tree. 2. Select Database Services from the list box, and then click Add Database. 3. Specify the global database name, Oracle home directory, and the SID specified during the Oracle installation. 51

56 Make sure the global database name and the SID are the same as those configured in the Database Identification page. See Figure 12. The detailed configurations are shown in Figure 52. Figure 52 Add the database service for a listener Setting the maximum number of Oracle processes and Oracle connection limit By default, the Oracle database allows 150 connections at most. When multiple IMC modules are deployed in centralized mode, or database errors occur on some IMC modules, you must set a proper maximum number of Oracle processes and a proper Oracle connection limit. For more information about the configuration procedure, see HP Intelligent Management Center Getting Started Guide. Shutting down the Oracle service manually To shut down the Oracle service, you need to shut down the Oracle database first, and then the listener controller. 1. Shut down the Oracle database. Perform the following commands: $./sqlplus sys/ora123 as sysdba SQL>shutdown immediate SQL>exit 52

57 where, sys is the name of the administrator user of the Oracle database, and the user password is ora Shut down the listener controller. $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin $./lsnrctl stop Configuring Oracle automatic startup To achieve Oracle automatic startup at the Linux operating system startup, register Oracle as the system service. 1. Copy the script file named oracled.tar.gz to any directory of the Linux operating system, and then use the following command to unzip the file: tar -xzf oracled.tar.gz NOTE: The oracled.tar.gz file is in the manual/db/oracle directory of the IMC installation package. 2. Copy the unzipped file to the directory of /etc/rc.d/init.d/. (Execute the cp command as a root user.) cp oracled /etc/rc.d/init.d/ 3. Modify the attribute value of the file to 755 with the command chmod. (Execute the chmod command as a root user.) chmod R 755 oracled 4. Execute the service register command as a root user: chkconfig --add oracled 5. Edit the Oracle configuration file /etc/oratab, and change the last line: vi /etc/oratab Change the line: orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1:n to: orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1:y 6. You can use the commands of service oracled start and service oracled stop to start and stop Oracle services. Creating a database user To create a database user: 1. Log in to the Oracle database as the user SYS:./sqlplus sys/imc123 as sysdba sys is the username and imc123 is the password. 2. Create a user imc: create user imc identified by imcpassword; imc is the username and imcpassword is the password. 53

58 CAUTION: For IMC to correctly identify the password during installation, make sure that the password does not contain any of the following characters: ` ' \ "! ( ) & \\ $ < > / ^ \t 3. Grant the sysdba privilege to the user: grant sysdba to imc; NOTE: Database users must be granted with the sysdba privilege for connecting to the database. Otherwise, deployment errors occur. Setting the character set for the Oracle client After installing the Oracle database using the previous steps, set the NLS_LANG environment variable to comply with the client language environment. To make the NLS_LANG environment variable automatically take effect with the system loading, modify the /etc/profile file as follows: vi /etc/profile To set the language environment variables for client character set NLS_LANG, use these commands: English language NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8IS08859P1 export NLS_LANG Other languages Set a proper character set with the following format: NLS_LANG=LANGUAGE_NATIONAL.CHARACTERSET export NLS_LANG TIP: You can set WE8ISO8859P1 for western European languages. Make sure the character set is set correctly, or garbled characters may appear. For more information, see Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide at Setting database storage space If you install the database by following the steps above, skip this section because you have specified big file table space. The size of a file in the Oracle database is up to 32 G. If no big file system is specified, you should add files to the USERS table space to provide storage space after installing the database. The following sections describe how to add files in the web interface and through SQL sentences. You can select either method. The number of files to be added depends on the disk space needed for all IMC components. For example, if IMC needs 190 G to manage more than 5000 devices, you should create at least six files (190 G/32 G = ). If a database has several IMC components installed, create files according to the total needed size of the components. 54

59 Setting database storage space in the web interface To set database storage space in the web interface: 1. Log in to the operating system as the oracle user, and use the emctl start dbconsole command to start up the web management system. bin]$ emctl start dbconsole 2. Access the website address:1158/em. ip address is the IP address of the Oracle server. 3. Log in to the web interface as the SYSTEM user. Select Server > Datafiles, as shown in Figure 53. Figure 53 Database instance management interface 4. The datafile management interface appears after you click Datafiles, as shown in 55. Figure 54 Datafile management interface 5. Select the datafile of the USERS table space, and then click Go next to Create Like to open the page, as shown in Figure

60 Figure 55 Create a datafile 6. Type the file name and file directory. You can also use the default directory for file directory. After selecting all the settings, click OK. 7. Repeat these steps to add more data files. If your system has multiple disks, distribute the files on different disks for I/O load balancing. Setting database storage space through SQL sentences 1. Log in to your operating system as the oracle user, and then log in to the Oracle database as the sys user with the following commands: [root@imcserver ~]#su - oracle [oracle@imcserver ~]$sqlplus sys/syspassword@orcl as sysdba syspassword is the password of the sys user, and orcl is the Oracle instance. 2. Perform the following SQL sentence to check the number of data files in the USERS table space and file directory: SQL> select file_name from dba_data_files where tablespace_name='users'; FILE_NAME /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/users01.dbf The output shows that the files are saved in the directory /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/. 3. Add users02.dbf in the directory. Use the following sentence to add a data file in the new directory: SQL> alter tablespace USERS add datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/userdata02.dbf' size 100M autoextend on next 100M maxsize UNLIMITED; You can add many data files with these steps. Modifying database memory parameters If the database memory parameters are not specified in "Installing Oracle database," follow these steps to set the memory parameters: 1. Log in to your operating system as the oracle user, and then log in to the Oracle database as the sys user with the following commands: 56

61 ~]# su - oracle [oracle@imcserver ~]$ sqlplus sys/syspassword@orcl as sysdba syspassword is the password of the sys user, and orcl is the Oracle instance. 2. Set the MEMORY_TARGET with the following sentence: SQL> alter system set MEMORY_TARGET=1700M scope=spfile; For the reference value, see Table 1. Setting user password lifetime of the Oracle database By default, the user password lifetime of the Oracle database is 180 days. Follow these steps to set a password to Unlimited: 1. Log in to your operating system as the oracle user, and then log in to the Oracle database as the sys user with the following commands : [root@imcserver ~]#su - oracle [oracle@imcserver ~]$sqlplus sys/syspassword@orcl as sysdba syspassword is the password of the sys user, and orcl is the Oracle global database name. 2. Use the following commands to set and display the password of the sys user: SQL> select * from dba_profiles s where s.profile='default' and resource_name='password_life_time'; PROFILE RESOURCE_NAME RESOURCE LIMIT DEFAULT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME PASSWORD 180dys The output shows that the lifetime of the user is 180 days. 3. Use the following commands to set the user password to Unlimited: SQL> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED; The modification takes effect immediately without rebooting your database and the password never expires. Changing user passwords of the Oracle database If a user password uses the default lifetime, change the password before the user runs for 180 days. You can view all the existing IMC users in the $IMCROOT/common/conf/server-addr.xml file. The username in each db-config represents a user account. If your IMC components are not installed at the same time, query the expiration date of user passwords by executing the following SQL sentence: select username,expiry_date from dba_users; See Figure

62 Figure 56 Query result To change a user password, follow these steps: 1. Using database administrator s account to change the user password 2. Updating the user password in the IMC configuration file If the new password is the same as the one to be expired, you do not need to update the user password in the IMC configuration file. If you change the password in Oracle or IMC without updating the IMC configuration files, the user account is locked because of inconsistent passwords. For more information, see "Unlocking a database user." The following examples illustrate how to change the password of user imc_config, and how to unlock the user. IMPORTANT: Stop IMC before you change passwords. After you complete changing user passwords, start IMC. Using database administrator s account to change the user password To change the user password using the database administrator s account: 1. Query the password of the Oracle database user by executing the pwdmgr.sh -query script provided by IMC. Figure 57 Query the password of the imc_config user As shown in Figure 57, the password of the imc_config user is imc5_snb2mhoquf. 58

63 2. Log in to your operating system as the oracle user, and then log in to the Oracle database as the sys user with the following commands: ~]# su - oracle [oracle@imcserver ~]$ sqlplus sys/syspassword@orcl as sysdba syspassword is the password of the sys user, and orcl is the Oracle global database name. 3. Execute the following SQL sentence to change the password of a specified user: SQL>alter user imc_config identified by dbpasswd dbpasswd is the new password of user imc_config. Updating the user password in the IMC configuration file Use the following commands to update the password of user imc_config in the IMC configuration file: [root@daemon8829 imc]# cd deploy/ [root@daemon8829 imc]#./pwdmgr.sh modify orcl imc_config dbpasswd Change password successfully dbpasswd is the new password of the user, and must be the same as that configured in "Using database administrator s account to change the user password." orcl is the Oracle instance name, and is the IP address of the Oracle database. For more information, see the $IMCROOT/common/conf/server-addr.xml file. If the password of an IMC component expires, change the database user password in the IMC configuration file by using the same commands. NOTE: The usernames and passwords used by the IMC modules are stored in cipher text in file \common\conf\ server-addr.xml in the installation path. You can use the./pwdmgr command to obtain passwords in clear text or update the latest passwords to the file. Usually, you can use the database management tool to change the database password of a certain IMC module. To ensure communication between IMC and the database, use the./pwdmgr command to update the corresponding password in file server-addr.xml. If IMC is deployed in distributed mode, update the password for every IMC server. TIP: Set password sqlsql for the report database in IMC, or the database does not work. If you have installed UAM/EAD V3.60 and its patches, change passwords for user ead in the following configuration files, as shown in Table 2. Table 2 Change passwords for user ead File Variable name Remarks imc\uam\etc\uam.conf DBUserPassword If you are using E6301, E6301P01, imc\portal\conf\portal.properties database.password imc\uamjob\conf\uamjob.properties database.password or E6301H02, modify the value for variable PlatDBUserPassword in the imc\uam\etc\uam.conf file to the password for user imc_config. The imc\ead\conf\server.xml password uamjob directory exists only in the E6301L03 and later versions. 59

64 If you have installed the DAM component, set the password in the imc\dam\conf\server.xml file to the password for DAM database user account dam. If you have installed the UAM, EAD, or CAMS E6301 version and changed the database user password, change the passwords of all database users listed in the imc/deploy/conf/ component-env.xml file before you can upgrade the components. Unlocking a database user If IMC services cannot start after you change user passwords, a user account is locked. To check which user account is locked, use the user accounts with passwords changed to log in to the Oracle system at the command line interface (CLI). If a user account is locked, a message shown in Figure 58 appears. Figure 58 The user is locked In this example, user imc_config is locked. Log in to the Oracle database as administrator sys, and execute the following command to unlock the user: [root@imcserver ~]#su - oracle [oracle@imcserver ~]$sqlplus sys/syspassword@orcl as sysdba syspassword is the password of the sys user, and orcl is the Oracle global database name. SQL> ALTER USER imc_config ACCOUNT UNLOCK; After the user is unlocked, change the password for the user in Oracle and IMC, and make sure that the two passwords are consistent. If you do not want to lock a user that is attempting multiple times to log in with a wrong password, execute the following command: SQL> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS UNLIMITED; Use the command with caution because the database never locks this user. 60

65 7 Installing IMC After completing all the configurations, reboot your operating system and log in to it as the root user. For information about how to install IMC, see IMC Installation Guide. After installing IMC, use the following commands to enable the IMC deployment monitoring agent: /opt/imc/deploy]#./dms.sh start /opt/imc/deploy]#./dma.sh 61

66 8 FAQs How to handle the case where the system displays that the space is not enough when creating the database instance? Check whether you have the file in the etc/sysctl.conf directory correctly configured. For more information, see "Adjusting kernel parameters." How to handle garbled characters displayed on IMC? The garbled characters may be caused by the following reasons: Incorrect character set for the database Garbled characters may appear if you set the character set that is incompatible to IMC. For example, you set the English character set for the Chinese IMC system. To solve this problem, reinstall the Oracle database, and select the correct character set. Incorrect character set for the clients Garbled characters may appear when NLS_LANG is not correctly set or modified during IMC operation. To solve this problem, correct the environment variable and restart the server and IMC. Incorrect environment variables for the server and the default installation of the Oracle database If you install the Oracle database by using the default mode, the Oracle is set with the default character set according to the LANG environment variables, which may not be correctly set. For example, if you use the default installation where LANG is C to install a database of Japanese character set, WE8ISO8859P1 is set as the character set, so garbled characters appear. To solve this problem, follow the steps for installing the Oracle database. For more information about setting the database and client character sets, see Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide in the Oracle at How to verify if the environment variables take effect? Execute the command echo $variable name to verify if the configurations about the home directory, Oracle LIB, and Oracle instance take effect. For example: #echo $ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1 #echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/lib #echo $ORACLE_SID Orcl 62
