10 Preparing Exalogic for an Oracle Identity and Access Management Deployment
Preparing Exalogic consists of performing all of the previous preparatory steps on an Exalogic appliance. Once completed, the environment will have the same structure as a traditional server deployment.
The steps to prepare Exalogic are in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Exalogic. This section of the document, summarizes the previous sections from an Exalogic point of view.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Summary of Virtual IP Addresses Required
You need to allocate the following Virtual IP Addresses on Exalogic:
Table 10-1 Summary of the Virtual IP Addresses Required for the IAM Enterprise Deployment Topology
Virtual IP | Variable | Documented Value |
---|---|---|
VIP1 |
IADADMINVHN |
IADADMINVHN is the virtual host name used as the listen address for the Access Domain Administration Server and fails over with manual failover of the Administration Server. It is enabled on the node where the Administration Server process is running |
VIP2 |
IGDADMINVHN |
IGDADMINVHN is the virtual host name used as the listen address for the Governance Domain Administration Server and fails over with manual failover of the Administration Server. It is enabled on the node where the Administration Server process is running |
Note:
VIP 3 to 8 are required only if you are going to use the Whole Server Migration. See Understanding the Difference between Whole Server and Service Migration.

Summary of Storage Requirements
This section summarizes storage requirements for an Oracle Identity and Access Management deployment on Exalogic.
Summary of the Storage Appliance Directories and Corresponding Mount Points for Physical Exalogic
For the Oracle Identity Management enterprise topology, you install all software products on the , which is a standard hardware storage appliance available with every Exalogic machine. No software is installed on the local storage available for each compute node.
To organize the enterprise deployment software on the appliance, you create a new project, called IAM
. The shares (/products
and /config
) are created within this project on the appliance, so you can later mount the shares to each compute node.
To separate the product binaries from the files specific to each compute node, you create a separate share for each compute node. Sub-directories are for the host names are created under config
and products
directories. Each private directory is identified by the logical host name; for example, IAMHOST1
and IAMHOST2
.
Figure 10-1 shows the recommended physical directory structure on the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance.
Table 10-3 shows how the shares on the appliance map to the mount points you will create on the vServers.
