10 Using the oracledb Template
This chapter describes how to use the oracledb template to add configuration data for hosting an
Oracle Database Server in an SRP compartment. At time this document was published, HP had
certified this template with the Oracle 10g Database Server.
You can also use the oracledb template to delete or modify the oracledb template data for a
compartment.
10.1 Adding the oracledb Template to an SRP Compartment
To use the oracledb template, you must create a base SRP compartment first, then add the
oracledb template to the compartment. For example:
srp -add mySRP # create a base SRP compartment
srp -add mySRP -template oracledb
The syntax for adding the oracledb template to an SRP compartment is as follows:
srp -a[dd] compartment_name -t[emplate] oracledb [-s[ervice]
service[,service]...]
Where:
compartment_name
Specifies the name of an existing SRP compartment.
service
Specifies the name of the service to configure. The following services are
valid with the oracledb template:
• cmpt
• ipfilter
If you do not specify any services in the command line, srp prompts you
for the services you want to apply and displays a list of the default
services that are valid with the oracledb template. If you are using the
factory-configured default services, the only valid default service is
cmpt,provision.
The input data for these serv
ices and the data configured are described in
the sections that follow. If SRP uses input data for multiple services, the
srp utility prompts you for the data once and reuses the value.
10.1.1 The cmpt Service
The cmpt service for the oracledb template configures Security Containment file system rules to
allow the compartment to access the specified Oracle directories.
10.1.1.1 Input Data
SRP prompts for the following data. You can also specify a variable name and value in the command
line, as described in 13.1 Creating an SRP Compartment or Adding Data to a Compartment.
Oracle
executable
path
The root directory for Oracle executables. The cmpt service adds rules to allow the
compartment read access to this directory. Because this parameter is configured per
compartment, you can run different versions of the Oracle Database server product on
