9 Preparing the Operating System for an Oracle Identity and Access Management Deployment
Preparing the operating system consists of performing all of the previous preparatory steps. Once completed, the environment will have the same structure as a traditional server deployment.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Summary of Storage Requirements
This section summarizes storage requirements for an Oracle Identity and Access Management deployment.
Summary of the Storage Appliance Directories and Corresponding Mount Points for Virtual Servers
For the Oracle Identity Management enterprise topology, you install all software products on the shared file system.
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 9-1 shows the recommended physical directory structure on the .
Table 9-1 shows how the shares on the appliance map to the mount points you will create on the vServers that host the enterprise deployment software.

Figure 9-1 illustrates the physical structure of the shares on the shared appliance.

Note:
The binary
directories can be changed to read only after the configuration is complete if desired. The LDAPHOST binaries have been split into two shares, one for each node. These can be combined, if required.
