Installing Oracle
Before running this application’s Oracle setup, you must first install Oracle and create the database
instance. The following is a set of basic guidelines for installing Oracle. This may not describe the
optimum configuration for every environment, but it provides a simple example of how to install
Oracle in a basic configuration. Best practice is to employ a trained Oracle DBA to either assist or
manage the installation and ongoing maintenance required to keep your application performing
properly.
The Oracle site containing Oracle’s Installation guide, covering settings, creating database
instances, operating system support, and so on is

Username / Password Considerations
We do not support using sys or system user as the user for the OpenManage Network Manager
application. If you entered one of these during installation, modify the
$OWARE_USER_ROOT/
owareapps/installprops/installed.properties
file. Before running loaddb , change
the following parameters:
com.dorado.jdbc.user=<user>
com.dorado.jdbc.password=<password>
The following assumes that a database instance has been created and configured properly. If you
wish to use Oracle RAC for high availability of, then consult your Oracle resource for proper
practices on configuring the RAC environment. See also
Encrypting the Oracle Password on page
170.
An Outline of Installation Steps
Before installing OpenManage Network Manager, your Oracle DBA needs to do the following tasks:
1 Install Oracle according to its installation instructions.
2 Perform Initial Configuration of Oracle Settings as required by the application.
3 Perform the Initial Oracle Installation Testing on page 168.
The OpenManage Network Manager installer does the following:
4 Install OpenManage Network Manager, selecting Oracle as the database, and filling in the
user, password, IP address of the server, and so on. Note that the following steps may be useful
in installing OpenManage Network Manager:
a. Open command prompt/terminal and source environment using
oware (Windows) or .
/etc/.dsienv
(Linux).
b. Test database connectivity with the command:
pingdb -u <dba user> -p <dba
password>
to test connectivity. For example: pingdb -u system -p manager.
Without these parameters,
pingdb consults the installed.properties file for the
user / password.
NOTE:
With Oracle 11G, the parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon defaults to TRUE when you install the
database. You must change this to FALSE for loaddb and pingdb to work if you have upper case
characters in the login / password for your Oracle database.
The multitenant option introduced in Oracle Database 12c allows a single container database
(CDB) to host multiple separate pluggable databases (PDB). If you installed the application
database as a pluggable database (PDB), there are two properties that must be set as
following.
