Goal

How do you setup a two node cluster using Content Server that will be installed on a UNIX or LINUX operating system that uses a High Availability (HA) Storage Area Network (SAN) for the shared filesystem?

Background:

This article provides a step by step example of how to set up a cluster configuration. This example configuration, uses an HA SAN-based shared file system, the Apache web server (also applies to Oracle HTTP Server and IBM HTTP Server), and a LINUX operating system.

Background:

A. Install Content Server to the shared file system from one of the future member cluster nodes, referencing the product documentation for requirements.

If you are installing a Master with a Proxy instance, proceed to Step A of <Note 1115584.1>??? "Supplement: How to Set Up a 10gR3 Proxy Instance with a Two Node Cluster for Content Server on UNIX or LINUX" to install your Proxy instance.

B. Patch Content Server, in exact order, using the following patches and their included instructions from My Oracle Support.

C. Verify that your installation is viable by starting Content Server from the shared file system.

If you are installing a Master with a Proxy instance, proceed to Step B.2 of <Note 1115584.1>??? "Supplement: How to Set Up a 10gR3 Proxy Instance with a Two Node Cluster for Content Server on UNIX or LINUX" to patch your Proxy instance.

D. Create the SERVER 1 Cluster Node.

DKRIES - stopped here. the rest is not updated for SAN install yet.

E. Create the SERVER 2 Cluster Node.

If you are installing a Master with a Proxy instance, proceed to Step E.2 of <Note 1115584.1> "Supplement: How to Set Up a 10gR3 Proxy Instance with a Two Node Cluster for Content Server on UNIX or LINUX" to install your Proxy cluster node on SERVER 2.

F. Update the cluster’s Admin Server.

G. Validate the cluster install
