Deployment Guide for Oracle Application Server

Introducon

This deployment guide contains conﬁguration procedures for AX Series server load balancers to support

Oracle Application Server.

Oracle Application Server is an integrated, standards-based software platform consisting of Oracle HTTP

Server and OC4J (OracleAS Containers for J2EE), which deploys J2EE-based applications. Oracle

Application Server Enterprise Edition is an application platform suite (APS) that offers a comprehensive

solution for developing, integrating, and deploying all of your enterprise’s applications, portals, and Web

sites. Enterprise Edition combines robust business integration, leading J2EE performance, capabilities

for enterprise portal, real-time business activity monitoring, business intelligence, identity management,

and wireless deployment.

http://www.oracle.com/appserver/enterprise_edition.html

The AX Series with its Advanced Core Operating System (ACOS) has been designed speciﬁcally for ap-

plications such as Oracle Application Server providing better robustness in failover situations, intelligent

load sharing and ofﬂoading security processing.

This guide used the AX Series 2.0.1 in routed mode and Oracle Application Server 11g.

Prerequisites & Assumpons

A10’s AX platform should be running software version 2.0 or later.•

It is assumed that users have some basic conﬁguration familiarity with both AX and Oracle Ap-•

plication Server products.

The Oracle Application Server products used in this deployment guide are Oracle Web Server,•

Identity Manager and Single Sign-on. As the applications are accessed by users through the

Oracle Web Server, the deployment conﬁguration below is for the Oracle Web Server.

The AX can be conﬁgured in one armed mode or routed mode.•

Conﬁguring Oracle Web Server on AX

Connect the AX devices to the network that consists of Oracle servers and conﬁgure the network routing

entries if the servers are in a different subnet, and follow the conﬁguration steps below.

Conﬁgure HTTP Health Monitor•

Conﬁgure Real Server•

Conﬁgure Service Group•

Conﬁgure Template•

Conﬁgure Virtual Server•

Conﬁguring HTTP Health Monitor

To conﬁgure HTTP Health Monitor for Oracle Web Server:

Select1. Conﬁg Mode > Service > Health Monitor

Click2. Add to conﬁgure new HTTP Health Monitor

On the3. Health Monitor tab, enter a name for the monitor in the Name ﬁeld. In this example,

the name “Oracle-HTTP-HM” is used

In the4. Method section, select HTTP from the Type drop-down list

Conﬁgure optional ﬁelds as required for your deployment. In this example, the default Health5.

Monitor settings are used

Click6. OK to ﬁnish conﬁguration of the Health Monitor. The Health Monitor appears in the health

monitor table

Auto-Port Translaon

The AX device allows you to use different port numbers for a real server port and its corresponding

virtual server port. The AX auto-port translation feature can automatically translate the port numbers

internally. In this example our VIP address 192.168.215.63:443 is bound with real server (192.168.216.60)

port 7777, the default port for Oracle HTTP Server. The AX device translates the VIP address into the

real server IP address, and translates the virtual service port number into the real service port number, to

interact with the real server on the client’s behalf.

Note: For standard port numbers (port numbers 0-1023), no additional conﬁguration is required for auto-

port translation. For example, if the VIP service port number is 80 and the real port number is 542, no

additional conﬁguration is required.

Performance by Design

Deployment Guide for Oracle Application Server

To conﬁgure Auto-Translate Port:

Select1. Conﬁg Mode > Service > SLB

On the menu bar, select2. Global > Auto Translation

Click on one of the range names. The3. Auto Translation screen appears

Note: If a range has already been conﬁgured for use by non-standard port numbers, do not reconﬁgure this

range. Instead, select an un-conﬁgured range.

Edit the port numbers in the4. Start Port and End Port ﬁelds, based on the guidelines described

above

Click5. OK

Figure 2.3 Auto-Port Translation Conﬁgurations

Real Server Conﬁguraon

In this step we conﬁgure the Real Oracle Application Server and we conﬁgure a HTTP Health Monitor on

the service port.

To conﬁgure a Real Server:

Select1. Conﬁg Mode > Service > SLB

Select2. Server on the menu bar

Click3. Add. The General tab appears

In the4. Name ﬁeld, enter a name for the server. In this example, the name is “Oracle”

In the5. IP Address ﬁeld, enter the IP address of the server. In this example we type

“192.168.216.60”

In the6. Health Monitor drop-down list, leave the default health monitor for layer 3, which is ping

to the server’s IP address

In the7. Port ﬁeld, enter the number of the service port on the real server. In this example, the

port number is “7777”

In the8. Health Monitor (HM) drop-down list for the port, select the previously conﬁgured

“Oracle-HTTP-HM” Health Monitor

Click9. Add to add the port to the Port list for the server

Click10. OK. The real server appears in the server table

Repeat this procedure for each of the real Oracle Application servers11.

Service Group Conﬁguraon

A Service Group contains a set of real servers from which the AX device can select to service client

requests. A service group allows you to virtually support multiple servers as one logical server.

To conﬁgure a service group:

Select1. Conﬁg Mode > Service > SLB

Select2. Service Group on the menu bar

Click3. Add. The Service Group tab appears

In4. Name ﬁeld, enter name of Service Group. In this example, the name is “Oracle-HTTP”

In the5. Algorithm drop-down list, select the preferred load-balancing method. You can control

the load on each server by selecting the appropriate type of load balancing methods. For this

conﬁguration, Round Robin is used

On the6. Server drop down, select a conﬁgured real server from the drop-down list

In the7. Port ﬁeld, enter the port “7777”

Click8. Add. Repeat steps 6-8 for each real server

Click9. OK. The new group appears in the Service Group table

Conﬁguring Templates for Oracle Web Server

Templates are sets of conﬁguration parameters that apply to speciﬁc service types or to servers and ser-

vice ports. Even though in some cases default templates can be used, it is recommended that you create

templates speciﬁcally allowing you to change the templates in the future without impacting the default

templates, which others may be sharing also. For this deployment, the following types of templates are

used:

HTTP Template•

TCP-Proxy Template•

Client SSL Template•

HTTP Template Conﬁguraon

Select1. Conﬁg Mode > Service > Template

Select2. Application > HTTP from the drop down menu bar. The Template >> HTTP >> List

screen appears

Click3. Add. The Template >> HTTP >> Create screen appears

Enter a name for the template in the4. Name ﬁeld. In our example we type “Oracle-HTTP-Temp”

Select or enter values for the template options you want to use. In this example, the default5.

values are used for the remaining options

Click6. OK to ﬁnish conﬁguration and the template now appears in the HTTP template list
