Before installing P9000 Performance Advisor
P9000 Performance Advisor setup prerequisites
Design the infrastructure for P9000 Performance Advisor.
For more information, see “Designing the infrastructure” on page 20.
Determine the coexistence for P9000 Performance Advisor with other storage products.
For more information, see “Determining the coexistence with other storage products” on page 23.
P9000 Performance Advisor management station prerequisites
Verify whether existing applications on the management station support other Oracle database instances
to be installed. If multiple Oracle database instances can coexist, ensure that they are not named PADB,
as it conflicts with the same name (PADB) provided for the P9000 Performance Advisor database.
P9000 Performance Advisor can coexist only with applications that allow different application-specific
Oracle instances to coexist. For more information, see the application-specific documentation.
If the %ORACLE_HOME%, %ORACLE_SID%, and %CATALINA_HOME% environment variables are already
configured on the management station, delete or rename them before the installation begins. You can
recreate these variables or rename them back after the installation procedure completes.
Verify the supported configuration for the P9000 Performance Advisor management station.
For more information, see “Verifying the supported configurations for P9000 Performance
Advisor” on page 24.
Select a free port (not used by any other application's process and not a commonly reserved port) that
P9000 Performance Advisor can use for all its communications. Port 80 is the default port that can be
used.
For more information, see “Assigning ports for P9000 Performance Advisor on the management
station” on page 30.
