17. The installation script prompts for a reboot if there are one or more errors. Restart the system
(or systems) if the install script prompts for a reboot.
18. If you installed Storage Management for DB2 or Storage Management for Oracle, create a
new repository database.
Database Configuration Requirements
Most of the relational database management system (RDBMS) software requires that the operating
system parameters are set before the RDBMS software starts functioning. The Oracle database
requires modifications to kernel settings before the databases run correctly. The most critical settings
are normally located in the shared memory and semaphore settings. For precise settings, consult
your current database installation and configuration documentation.
Creating and Configuring the Repository Database for Oracle
After installing Storage Management for Oracle, you must create and configure the repository
database using the sfua_db_config script. This script detects if your system is running in a
stand-alone or high availability (HA) configuration, and automatically configures the repository
database.
Before running the script for a stand-alone configuration, ensure that a mount point is mounted on
a VxVM volume with a VxFS file system. The mount point is used to store the repository database.
Before running the script, review the following requirements for an HA configuration:
• Create a separate, non-shared disk group on shared storage. Create a VxVM volume and a
VxFS file system and mount the volume.
HP recommends that you have a separate disk group for the repository volume so that any
failovers are independent of other service groups.
• The mount point is used to store the repository database.
• Obtain a unique virtual IP address for a public network interface card (NIC) interface.
• Obtain device names for the public NIC interface for all systems in the cluster.
For example, you can use the following names:
hme0
lan0
• Obtain a subnet mask for the public NIC interface.
Table 14 indicates the options available for the sfua_db_config script.

Use this option in an HA configuration. The option indicates that ssh and scp must be used for
communication between systems. Either ssh or rsh must be preconfigured so that you can run the
commands without being prompted for passwords or confirmations.
