IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, Version 7.1.1.16

Oracle 11i on Linux example

About this task

Note: Some paths and parameter values depend on you Oracle installation. Paths and values provided here are only examples.

Procedure

Extract the contents of the .tar.gz archive for Tivoli® Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment on Linux in /usr/local. A directory named tpmfos is created under /usr/local.
Create an Oracle database. In the remainder of this example, we assume the database is named tpmfosd.
From the directory where you have extracted the build of Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, start the Java™ database gateway, issuing the following command from a shell prompt:
```
java -cp \
dbgw.jar:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/jdbc/lib/ojdbc5.jar:\
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar \
-Djdbc.drivers=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver com.rembo.dbgw.Dbgw -d
```
If there are no errors, all the prerequisites are met.
In another terminal, verify the database connectivity using:
```
telnet localhost 2020
use oracle:thin:@<hostname>:1521:tpmfosd,system,<password>
```
where <hostname> must be replaced with the actual hostname and <password> with the actual password of the system user.
Stop the dbgw process. If you do not, you will encounter errors when running setup.
Go to the /usr/local/tpmfos directory.
To install Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, start ./setup in the current directory and follow the setup program instructions. Mandatory parameters specific to using the product with Oracle are CLASSPATH, JDBCDRIVER, and JDBCURL. You also need to provide a user name to access the database. Default values for these parameters may not fit your particular installation of Oracle. Make sure to provide appropriate values to the installer to have a working OS deployment server. In this example, you should use the following values:
```
CLASSPATH = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/jdbc/lib/ojdbc5.jar:/u01/app/\
oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar
JDBCDRIVER = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
JDBCURL = oracle:thin:@<hostname>:1521:tpmfosd
```
where <hostname> must be replaced with the actual hostname.
