Solution Delivery and Deployment Planning

You are deploying a Solution that enables the end Customer to communicate and collaborate
This solution is made up of HW and Software The software is available in 2 groups Software from the Product Group Software Entitlements from other Oracle Business Units

Solution delivery requires 'deployment planning' in order to be successful

This talk is to assist the delivery person in planning the installation phase of the solution delivery

Unified Communications Suite Component List

What is inside the Unified Communications Suite?
Messaging Server Comms DSsetup Calendar Server 7 (CALDAV) Instant Messaging Convergence Indexing and Search Service Comms Delegated Administrator Calendar Server 6

Software Entitlements
Directory Server:
Provides User authentication services and is the repository for server configurations as well as user authentication data

Application Server:
A standard web container for multiple services

Obtaining the Software Binaries

Communications Suite
Edelivery Oracle Communications Applications Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite 7 Media Pack

Directory Server:
Edelivery Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11gR1

Application Server:
Sun GlassFish Server 2.1.1 with HADB (delivered as a SunSolve Patch)

Hints and TIPS

Store all of the downloaded files in a single staging area where they can be unpacked Rename the files such to tell which binaries they represent:
mv V22375-01.zip sparc-comms-suite7u1.zip mv V22376-01.zip x86-comms-suite7u1.zip mv V22377-01.zip linux-comms-suite7u1.zip mv V21883-01.zip sparc-ODSEE-11gR1.zip mv V21890-01.zip x86-ODSEE-11gR1.zip mv V21900-01.zip linux-ODSEE-11gR1.zip

Delivery Methods and Options

With the exception of the applications server , deployments are a 2 step process - Installation then Configuration The Comms Suite Installer is available as a CLI only There is no preferred order of installation when delivering the solution For configuration, the order is determined by the position on the stack Configure the Directory Server first (Mandatory!) Configure the Delegated Admin The Comms Suite Components have separate configuration utilities These may be GUI based or CLI or may take input from a 'saveState' file

Deployment Preparations
Obtain, install and configure your OS Create a todo list for the delivery process
Mandatory Changes to the OS Creation of Runtime Unix Accounts DNS Service available

Create a list of todo lists

Define roles that a machine may play Services within a role will call for tasks unique to that service Services within a role will have tasks unique to that role

You must do the deployment on a 64bit operating System! Period.

Create a to do list
Directory Server and Delegated Admin Services
Fix the /etc/hosts file Apply OS tuning changes Create unix runtime users for msg, calndr,directory Patch the system with required OS patches Install the Directory Server and DSSetup Tool Patch the Directory Server Product Run the Directory Server Configuation Tool Start the Directory Server Run the comm_dssetup Utility Ensure that the dap service is online Install the Webcontainer Configure the Web Container Startup the Web Container Install the Delegated Administrator Configure Delegated Administrator Restart the Web Container Consolidate Delegated Admin ACIs in the DIR server Use the commadmin utility to Modify Domain Parameters Provision Hosted Domains Provision Users in each domains Print a mail summary of the completed tasks

Backend Calender and Message Store Services

Fix the /etc/hosts file Apply OS tuning changes Create unix runtime users for msg, calndr,directory Install the Required OS patches Ensure that the Ldap service is online Ensure that the sample users are provisioned Install the Messaging Server Configure Messaging Server Customize MTA Configuration and Configutil Settings Activate Backend LMTP Services Disable Sendmail Startup Messaging Server Install the Calendar Server Configure Calendar Server Customize Calendar Server Configuration Startup Calendar Server Install Web Container Configure Web Container Startup Web Container Install Convergence Components Restart Web Container Configure Convergence Restart Web Container Print a summary of the completed tasks

11

Required System Modifications

Verify that DNS is running and configured properly
domain foo.varrius.org nameserver 172.16.224.1 nameserver 172.16.224.2

Verify that the format of the host names in the /etc/hosts file is <IP> <FQDN> <Short Name>
172.16.224.67 marsupial.varrius.org marsupial loghost

Verify that the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is configured to use files first to resolve host names
host: files dns

Comms Suite Delployment Walk Thru

Unpack the Comms Installer bits Use the ''commpkg install tool to do the install. You will be provided with the selections of products to install You can install all products in one installation session or you may choose to install each product via a separate installation session Example commands:
cd /export/software Unzip -d comms_suite_insatller ci-installer-file.zip cd /export/software/comms_suite_installer ./commpkg install
13

Installing the Application Server

The application server binary is the installer
sges_ee-2_1_1-<platform>.bin

Copy to a temporary directory and make the binary executable

cp sges_ee-2_1_1-<platform>.bin /tmp/sges_ee.bin chmod 700 /tmp/sges_ee.bin

Execute the install / configure process

/tmp/sges_ee.bin [-console] [-javahome /usr/latest/jdk]
14

Installing the Directory Server

The Directory Server is available as a package based installer or as a ZIP archive. We are neutral to the format of the installer The ZIP archive installer is the very simplest method for installing the Directory Server Example Command:
mkdir -p /opt/sun/directory unzip -d /tmp ODSEE.zip ODSEE_ZIP_Distribution/* cd /tmp/ODSEE_ZIP_Distribution unzip -d /opt/sun/directory sun-dsee7.zip

22

Deployment Planning
The entire stack can be deployed in different ways
Single Host Deployment (64Bit Host Only) Distributed Deployment (Suite is laid out across different servers) Using separate physical hosts Using zones across a single machine Using zones across multiple machines

Create a detailed deployment plan

Record the host-names that will deliver each service Record the service specific configuration defaults Use this map to guide you through the manual process (anthony to add a new table that does this)
