Oracle Apps R12.1.1 Multi Node Installation on Linux
This article will be helpful for the beginners who want to learn how to Install and configure oracle E-business suite R12.1.1 on multiple nodes using Linux OS platform on their personal computers/laptops and also for those who want to deploy it in Business Enterprise server environment.
Multi Node Installation:
Oracle E-Business suite is a robust software which provide a very good scalability. You can configure multiple nodes for Installation of E-Business Suite hosting different Services on different Hosts.
Such configuration are mainly deploy to balance load and availability.
Steps:
1) prepare all OS ore-requisites
2) prepare stage area
3) Install E-business Suite R12.1.1 Software.
Hosts information for Installation:
Perform all operating system per-requisites on all nodes

- All hosts should ping each other and /etc/hosts file configures as shown above accordingly to host.
>> Create stage Area:
If you have media you can create stage using your media and if you've downloaded software from edelivery portal steps are same for creating stage.
There are two ways we can create stage for R12
1. Stage using script adautostage.pl from start here CD
2. Manual stage - create directories and copy media as listed below
startCD - copy Start Here Disk
oraApps - copy APPL_TOP Disk1, Disk2
oraAS - copy TOOLS Disk
oraDB - copy RDBMS Disk
oraAppDB - copy Databases Disk1 to Disk9
I used external drive as my stage area and i have connected to each server when i need to run rapidwiz utility.
As this is three node Installation, so rapidwiz utility need to run on all three hosts from stage area.
>> Running rapidwiz utility:
- first on erpdb1 to install and configure database
* This will install database and create configuration file for all other nodes.
* When we run rapidwiz on other nodes just it will pick the configuration information from node1
- second on erpappl1 to install and configure conc. services
- Third on erpappl2 to install and configure web and form services
> Running rapidwiz on erpdb1:
- Here just select "batch processing" to enable only concurrent node on erpappl1
- click on add to add another application server
- click on EDIT Services
- select batch processing, other services as disabled and remaining 3 as enabled
>> Running rapidwiz on node2 (erpappl1) - conc. server:
- Installation completed on erpappl1
>> Running rapidwiz on erpappl2:
We've done with three node application R12.1.1 installation on LINUX. These steps are applicable on all platforms only it differs in OS pre-requisites for kernel parameters, OS patches on other OS platforms.
Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.
