AppendixA Oracle Installation and Setup Procedures Configuring the Oracle Database

Note If you already have an Oracle installation on this system, the default Toplink installation folder

will be in your Oracle installation. Cisco recommends that you use this folder. Write down the

installation folder you choose; you will need it later during installation of Virtual Network D ata

Server.

b. Select an install folder and click Next. In the remaining panels, the installer prompts you for:

–

Shortcut Location (select your preference)

–

Toplink Features (select Full Install)

–

Viewing Release Notes (select your preference)

c. Work through the remaining installer panels and enter the preferences in Step b. Click Done in the

Install of TopLink Complete panel to exit the installer.

Step 5 Do the following steps to install the Toplink 9.0.3.5 patch.

a. Open a window to the working directory that contains the Toplink patch,

p3188702_9031_GENERIC.zip.

b. Unzip the Oracle Toplink patch archive, p3188702_9031_GENERIC.zip, into the Toplink

installation directory. For example, if you installed Toplink to C:\oracle\ora92\toplink, select this

path as the extraction path for the archive.

c. If you are prompted to confirm file overwrite, select "Yes to All".

d. Close the archive application (WinZip or similar application) when done.

e. Verify that the Toplink installation has the files required by Virtual Network Data Server. The

following files should exist in the <toplink install>\core\lib directory:

–

tl_core.jar

–

tl_tools.jar

–

tl_x.jar

At this point, Toplink 9.0.3.5 is installed on your system and ready for access during Virtual Network

Data Server installation. Proceed to the next step of the installation workflow (as described in the

“Installation Workflow” section on page4-1.)

Configuring the Oracle Database

After Virtual Network Data Server is installed, the Oracle database must be configured for use by V irtual

Network Data Server. This involves running a SQL script that creates tablespaces for the database and a

Virtual Network Data Server access account. This SQL script is run on the host system for the Oracle

database.

For information about your database, see TableA-1 on page A-6.

Step 1 If the Oracle database and Virtual Network Data Server are located on the same host system, open a

command window and navigate to the Virtual Network Data Server installation directory by typing the

following:
