Oracle Parallel Server and Windows 2000 Advanced Server on IBM Netfinity

This redbook provides an overview of the recent version of Oracle8i Parallel Server (OPS) for Windows 2000 running on IBM Netfinity.

First you will be given an introduction to IBMÆs Oracle Parallel Server solution where we explain the solution provided by IBM. Next, we provide an understanding of the Oracle and Oracle Parallel Server Architecture. Then we discuss the planning phase, the hardware and software requirements, and most important, how to configure your hardware and software.

Once the hardware components and the operating system are installed, we discuss OPS software installation in detail, including the installation of the Operating System Dependent (OSD) layer, and the installation of Oracle8i and Oracle Enterprise Manager. In order for you to test and verify the configuration, we also create a database and test it in parallel mode.

This redbook includes the configuration of OPS in a Netfinity Fibre Channel High Availability environment, the installation and configuration of Netfinity Fibre Channel Storage Manager, and the setup and configuration of Load Balancing and Failover.

It is assumed that the reader of this redbook has some experience in using IBM Netfinity Fibre Channel, Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Oracle8 i and Oracle Parallel Server. In addition, a Database Administrator
should be available for assistance.

Presently, IBM has certified a two-node IBM Netfinity 8500 configuration with Oracle Parallel Server Version 8.1.6 with patches 8.1.6.1.1 and 8.1.6.1.2 running Windows 4.0 Enterprise Edition with SP5. However, the IBM OPS
certification for Windows 2000 had not been completed at the time this redbook was written.
