Task 2: Pre-Installation Configuration (Windows)
1. Choose a Portal Server. For performance reasons, the APTARE StorageConsole Portal software should not be installed on the same server as the APTARE StorageConsole Data Collectors. If, for some reason, you require both to be on the same server, be sure that both the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory on the server. Root privileges are required for the Portal software installation tasks.
You will need to log in as a Local Administrator to perform the installation. Oracle requires that you are logged in as a Local Administrator. Logging in as a Domain Administrator is not sufficient for this installation. Refer to the Oracle web site for the requirement to install on Windows as a user who is a member of the server’s local Administrator’s group.
2. Verify the OS of the Portal Server. Check that the OS is one of the certified operating systems listed in the APTARE StorageConsole Certified Configurations Guide.
Verify that sufficient disk space exists on the designated Portal Server. For the database file systems, the amount specified is the minimum required to create the database. It is recommended that you allocate more than the minimum to accommodate growth.
Directory | Recommended
Minimum Disk Space | Notes |
C:\opt | 12 GiB | |
C:\tmp | 5 GiB | |
C:\oradata | 125 GiB | The Installer prompts for the target drive for the oradata directory, so alternate drives are supported. |
Total | 142 GiB | |
Add aptareportal.yourdomain.com and aptareagent.yourdomain.com entries to your enterprise DNS Server. Both entries must resolve to the IP address of the Portal server. Also note that the last component of the domain must be one of the recognized root domains; for example, .com—not .3com.
4. Verify that there are no other web servers—for example, IIS—running on the system.
5. The installer will set up the following system-wide environment variables and update the PATH environment variable. following system environment variables:
Variable Name | Variable Value |
ORACLE_HOME | C:\opt\oracle |
ORACLE_SID | scdb |
The PATH environment variable will have the following path appended to the end of the current PATH:
C:\opt\oracle\bin
