Installing and Configuring the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Domain

HA for PeopleSoft process scheduler

This section contains the two procedures you need to install and configure a PeopleSoft process scheduler domain as a cluster resource.

Complete the following items before you perform the procedures in this section:

• Install the PeopleSoft application server and PeopleSoft process scheduler data service package during your initial Oracle Solaris Cluster installation. If you did not yet install the package, Installing the Data Service Package.

• Install and configure all storage management software that you intend to use on all nodes where PeopleSoft process scheduler is to run.

• Create zone clusters where you intend to run PeopleSoft process scheduler.

• Create an entry in a name service database (such as DNS) for the logical hostnames that are to be made available by the resources.

• If you are using IPMP groups, configure the groups on the nodes where the logical hostname resources can be brought online.

• Ensure that any non-global zones that can master the resources are already configured on your cluster nodes.

In the steps below, it is assumed the UNIX user psft was used to install the PeopleSoft process scheduler software, that HR91 is the process scheduler domain name, that psft-sched-rg is the resource group name, and that pse-sched-rs is the resource name. Change the resource group name, resource name, user name, and domain name to match your configuration.

How to Enable the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Domain to Run in a Cluster

Perform this procedure on one node of the cluster to configure storage and logical host resource groups.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the /etc/netmasks file has IP-address subnet and netmask entries for all logical hostnames. If necessary, edit the /etc/netmasks file to add any missing entries.

1. On a cluster node that will host the PeopleSoft process scheduler domain, assume the root role that provides solaris.cluster.modify and solaris.cluster.admin RBAC authorization.
2. Register the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource type.

   # clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus

3. Create a failover resource group.

   # clresourcegroup create psft-sched-rg

4. Create a resource for the PeopleSoft process scheduler domain file systems on shared storage.

   # clresource create -g psft-sched-rg -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \
   -p FilesystemMountPoints=psft-mount-points psft-hasp-resource

5. Create a resource for the logical hostname that will be used by the web tier to connect to the PeopleSoft process scheduler domain.

   # clreslogicalhostname create -g psft-sched-rg \
   -h logical-hostname logicalhost-resource

6. Enable the failover resource group that now includes the PeopleSoft process scheduler domain disk storage and logical host resources.

   # clresourcegroup online -eM -n current-node psft-sched-rg

How to Install PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Software

1. On the cluster member where the psft-sched-rg resource group is online, assume the root role.
2. Follow the instructions in the appropriate PeopleSoft documentation for your version of the product. Documentation for installing PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools version 8.52 is published in the PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Install Documentation Library.

   Use the file system specified within the HAStoragePlus resource and the IP address within the logical hostname. When following these instructions, ensure that you observe the information in Configuration Requirements for the HA for PeopleSoft process scheduler.
