Oracle^® Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle Essbase Server Guide

Registering and Configuring the Oracle Essbase Server

This section contains the procedures to configure or unconfigure the Oracle Essbase Server.

How to Register and Configure Oracle Essbase Server for Failover

Use this procedure to configure Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Oracle Essbase Server as a failover data service.

Before You Begin

Install the data service package during your initial Oracle Solaris Cluster installation. If you did not install the Oracle Essbase Server package as part of your initial Oracle Solaris installation, go to Installing the HA for Oracle Essbase Server Package.

1. On the cluster node that hosts the Oracle Essbase Server, assume the root role that provides solaris.cluster.modify and solaris.cluster.admin RBAC authorizations.
2. Register the ORCL.essbase resource type.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clresourcetype register ORCL.essbase

3. Create a Oracle Essbase Server resource in the failover resource group.

   # clresource create -g oracle-essbase-server-rg -d \
   -t ORCL.essbase \
   -p Application_user="essbase" \
   -p COMPONENT_INSTANCE=Essbase1 \
   -p ARBORPATH=arborpath \
   -p resource_dependencies=logicalhost \
   -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=oracle-essbase-server-hasp-rs oracle-essbase-server-rs 

   where arborpath is the home directory path for the Oracle Essbase Server that is deployed.

4. set offline restart dependency on opmn resource.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clresource set -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=opmn-rs oracle-essbase-server-rs

5. If the database is deployed on the same global cluster, configure a strong dependency to the resources for the database instance.

   Perform this step if the database tier is deployed in a different zone cluster of the same global cluster.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clresource set -p resource_dependencies+=db-instance-resource \
   oracle-essbase-server-rs

6. Enable the Oracle Essbase Server resource.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clresource status
   # /usr/cluster/bin/clresource enable oracle-essbase-server-rs
