Running Oracle VM Templates on Oracle Enterprise Linux guide (Part 5 of 6)
In the last part, we fully configured our Database. This time we are going to install Tools on the other Oracle Linux image, and will actually be starting up Peoplesoft! We will have our Application Server, Web Server and Process Scheduler running in no time! All thats left is getting the application designer to talk to the machine.
Index of my blog series.
- Prerequisites before starting the guide.
- Installing Virtualbox and Converting the OVM Templates.
- Installing Oracle Linux for OVM. (Based on this blog from Hakan Biroglu)
- Installing and configurating the HCM database.
- Installing and configuring PeopleTools. (application server, web server and process scheduler)
- Installing and configuring PeopleTools on your windows client.
Now that we have configured the database, we are going to configure the tools server. Add the TOOLS.vdi and System.vdi (in that order) to our machine.
We need to set the IP-Address of this machine too, since the database machine has the 192.168.56.50 IP, this machine gets 192.168.56.51. (as configured in the hosts file)
After setting the IP, deactivate and activate both eth0 and eth1 to make sure our internet connection is working again. Since we set our hcmdb91 machine’s host name in the installation. We need to change this now. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file. Change the hostname from hcmdb91.example.com to hcmpt91.example.com. Save and exit.
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
Next, change the hosts file.
vi /etc/hosts
Make sure it looks like the one below.
127.0.0.1 hcmpt91.example.com hcmpt91 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 192.168.56.50 hcmdb91 hcmdb91.example.com 192.168.56.51 hcmpt91 hcmpt91.example.com
Save and exit the file. We now need to set some peoplesoft environment variables to psadm2’s .bash_profile.
vi /home/psadm2/.bash_profile
add this to the bottom of the file;
# psft env vars export PS_APP_HOME=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools export PS_CFG_HOME=/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52/HCM export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/oracle-client export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.x export ORACLE_SID=HCM export TUXDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/bea/tuxedo export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TUXDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib . /opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools/psconfig.sh export PATH=$TUXDIR/bin:$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin export LANG=C
it will look like the picture below.
Next we are going to make a temporary folder where we can mount the system disk. We also need to copy some files from the system disk so we can do the installation.
mkdir /tmp/sdc2 mount /dev/sdc2 /tmp/sdc2 cp -R -p /tmp/sdc2/opt/oracle /opt/
Since we copied the hcmdb machine, there are already some files in the /opt/oracle/psft/vm folder. We will overwrite them. Give a Y to each overwrite,
Now we need to edit the /etc/fstab file, to mount our tools disk when we start the machine. Add the following line to the end of the file.
/dev/sdb1 /opt/oracle/psft/pt ext3 defaults 1 3
It will look like this.
Now we will create the PS_CFG_HOME directory, and mount the tools disk.
mkdir -p /home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52/HCM chown -R psadm2:oracle /home/psadm2/psft mount /opt/oracle/psft/pt
CD into the /opt/oracle/psft/vm directory, and export the appinst user group. After doing this, start the Tools configuration script by using ./oraclevm-template.sh
cd /opt/oracle/psft/vm export DECOUPLE_USR_GROUP=appinst ./oraclevm-template.sh
During the configuration, we will need to answer several questions. They are visible in the screenshots below, in the red boxes. I’ve posted the full ouput of the script below, and made my answers bold.
[root@hcmpt91 ~]# cd /opt/oracle/psft/vm [root@hcmpt91 vm]# export DECOUPLE_USR_GROUP=appinst [root@hcmpt91 vm]# ./oraclevm-template.sh

Unfortunately I continued prior to getting this update and got several errors when calling the ./oraclevm-template.sh script. It was asking for the “Remote Application Home directory:” I just hit enter. This gave me an error, but the process seemed to continue as you describe above. The only questions I did not get were the ones asking me if I wanted to automate steps since I was installing from a VM and the License Agreement question, however, it did not finish with PIA starting and when I tried to access http://hcmpt91.example.com:9000/ (also tried 8000 per your thread) I got a page not found message.
After that I tried to start over with a new .bash_profile:
# psft env vars
export PS_APP_HOME=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools
export PS_CFG_HOME=/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52/HCM
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/oracle-client
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.x
export ORACLE_SID=HCM
, but I got the same ERROR, at the same step:
ERROR: Unable
Enter the full path of the remote Application Home directory: I entered “/opt/oracle/psft/ps/apptools” since this was PS_APP_HOME. This gave me:
ERROR: Unable
WARN: An
WARN: Failed
And several other errors:
CMDTUX_CAT:1685: ERROR Application Initialization failure
tmboot: CMDTUX_CAT:827: ERROR Fatal error encountered, initiating user error handler

No bulletin board exists. Entering boot mode.
COBOL Environment already exists. Please remove it before running this script.
ovm_set_password: command not found
ovm_configure_network: command not found
Then I tried to do it one more time, hoping to enter the proper Application Home directory, however I got the message: “AppBatch environment already exists. Please remove it before running this script”.
Any suggestions on how to clean this up?

use “cd /opt/oracle/psft/vm”, then use the ./template-cleanup.sh command to clean up. Then run the ./oraclevm-template.sh again. Note, for this script to work, both virtual machines should be up and running. Since the Application VM we are running now will connect with the Database VM.
In the .bash_profile, is this supposed to say FSCM912, or HCM91?
# psft env vars
export PS_APP_HOME=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools
export PS_CFG_HOME=/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52/FSCM912
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/oracle-client
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.x
export ORACLE_SID=FSCM912
Looks like it still is not working. I got the following error when rerunning the script:
