Post-Installation Steps for OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster

Installing in High Availability Environments: OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster

■

■

■

■

In the ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/htdocs/index.html file, change all 
occurrences of the physical hostname (example: node1) to the virtual hostname 
(example: vhost), where node1 appears as a hostname.

Note that if node1 is used as part of the Oracle Application Server instance name, do 
not change it.

After the OracleAS Infrastructure installation is complete, copy the 
/var/opt/oracle

 directory from the node where you performed the installation to 

the other node in the OracleAS Cold Failover Cluster. This ensures that you can run 
the installer to update the Oracle home from either node in the cluster.

Be sure to keep the two /var/opt/oracle directories in sync. Whenever you run the 
installer to update the infrastructure, you need to copy the oracle directory to the 
other node.

The /var/opt/oracle directory is not used during runtime by Oracle Application 
Server. It is used only by the installer.

Before you can start, stop or check the status of Database Console against a cold 
failover cluster database, you need to set the ORACLE_HOSTNAME environment 
variable to the virtual hostname. For example, in 

, the virtual hostname is 

vhost.mydomain.com. You would set ORACLE_HOSTNAME as follows:

C shell:

$ setenv ORACLE_HOSTNAME vhost.mydomain.com

Bourne or Korn shell:

% ORACLE_HOSTNAME=vhost.mydomain.com

% export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
