Roll Out a Complete Oracle Fusion Middleware Environment in Less Than 10 Minutes

#WHOAMI
I work for Amis
I live in The Netherlands
I have a blog http://biemond.blogspot.com
I am an Oracle ACE
I wrote a book Oracle Service Bus 11gDeveloper Cookbook

Why is it so hard to configure a FMW environment?
And why does it always takes at least a few days (weeks) before you can use it
4
You need to do so many steps
SOA Suite, OSB Server
DatabaseServer
Operating System
WebLogic
OSB
Soa Suite
Domain creation
Initial Domain setup
Operating system
Database software

Soa Suite Repository

YUM + Packages / JVM / Ulimits / Kernel / User / Group / Directories
WebLogic / BSU /NodeManager
OSB / OPatch
SOA Suite / OPatch
Create Domain
Logs / Security / JMS / WebApps / DataSources / Resource Adapters
5
How to solve this?
6
Administrators!!
• Expensive and you need more than one
• After a while they get bored, leave the company or make mistakes
• Knowledge is in their heads
• Does have every installation have the same Quality?
• Still takes a long time to get a new environment
7
Cloning
• Golden image still made by an Administrator– The administrator has the knowledge– Probably every Golden image is different– Need for Guidelines
• Many Clones & Clones of Clones– What are the differences? – Hard to refresh all environments– Probably need to change Operating System settings &
WebLogic DataSources
• Every few months there are some Oracle Patches– Operating System– JVM– WebLogic & BSU – FMW & OPatch
8
What is the solution?
Use a provisioning Toollike Puppet, Chef, Ansible
• Describe your environment in code & put it under version control
• Outcome is predicatable and repeatable
• No need for extra configuration of O.S. or WebLogic DataSources
• Auditing
• Can keep all servers up-to-date
9
Start it up
Watch the Magic Happen
10
Puppet, OK but why?
• Great install base with 1600 ready to use modules• Supports and also used by VMware, OpenStack,
Amazon• Multiple Operating System support like Linux,
Windows, Oracle Solaris & IBM AIX
• Integrated Dashboard• Reporting & Auditing• MCollective -> Live management• Puppet Language, Templating, Eclipse as IDE
• Open Source or Enterprise Edition -> free with max 10 nodes
11
How it works
• Agent runs every X minutes or started by MCollective
• Agent gathers local facts about its system
• Agent initiates a request to the server requesting the latest version of its catalog
• Server compiles the configuration from source into a catalog and returns it to the agent.
• Agent applies the catalog, resulting in configuration changes.
12
Puppet Modules
Puppet as provisioning tool is not enough
– There are Puppet module for installing a JVM, configure kernel and ulimits parameters
– Nothing for Oracle ( Database or WebLogic / FMW )
But Oracle supports silent install and provide utilities to retrieve all the Middleware information
So I made my own Puppet Modules – WLS Module– OraDB Module -> installs a 11g & 12c Database plus RCU– JDK7 Module -> fixes Urandom and RPM errors – OraUtils -> WebLogic Scripts & Autostart NodeManager
13
Puppet WLS Module
• Support for CentOS, RedHat, OracleLinux, Ubuntu, Debian, SLES, Solaris, Windows
• Installs– WebLogic 10.3 (11g), 12.1.1, 12.1.2– ADF 11g & 12c (12.1.2)– Oracle Service Bus 11g– Soa Suite 11g– WebCenter 11g Portal & Content
• Patching– BSU– OPatch
• Tooling– JDeveloper 11g, 12c– OEPE
• Domain creation– Standard (ADF)– OSB– OSB, SOA Suite, BAM– OSB, SOA Suite, BAM, BPM– WebCenter– WebCenter, WC Content, BPM
• Configuration– NodeManager– Server Templates ( 12c)– Dynamic Clusters (12c)– Log location– JCA Resource Adapter– Persistence– JMS– SAF– Can run any WLST script

What is left for you?
Create your own FMW configurations
Fork or contribute to the WLS module
Puppetize everything
16
Create a Main Class
• This class can be assigned to Nodes• Determine the order of installation
17
WebLogic Puppet Class

OSB / SOA Suite definitions

Domain & WLST definitions

Puppet Performance
• A Puppet Agent runs every XX minutes• You don’t want a Puppet Agent to run for 10 minutes every XX minutes
Solution = WebLogic Facts
WLS Puppet module harvests all the available Oracle Middleware information of the Node like:
• oraInst.loc• OraInventory• BEA Homelist• BSU output• OPatch output of every Oracle Home• WebLogic domain configuration
24
Puppet Facts
25
Managing multiple Dev or Test environments
• Use a big IF THEN ELSE statement
• Using Hiera -> key/value lookup tool for configuration data– Part of Puppet 3.0– Solution for clean code
26
Hiera, how it works!!
• In the Puppet class use the hiera() function
• Add a text file on a node which defines the environment– This is picked up by the Puppet Agent
• On the Puppet master define howto look for values -> hiera.yaml
• On the Puppet master look for the password key– Server1.yaml– Test1.yaml– Test.yaml– Common.yaml
environment = testenvironmentnr = test1
---:hierarchy: - "%{::hostname}” - "%{::environmentnr}” - "%{::environment}” - common
node = server1
$pass = hiera(‘password’)
# test1.yaml (encryption)---password: ”welcome1"
27
The Result
A fully configured running Fusion Middleware Server
28
Next Steps
• Download the Learning Puppet VM image– Get the VMware or the Oracle VirtualBox learning image http
://info.puppetlabs.com/download-learning-puppet-VM.html
• Configure your own Puppet Server– Allowed the use the Puppet Enterprise and manage up to 10 nodes
• Install the WLS module– Download from Puppet Forge http://forge.puppetlabs.com– Clone from GitHub https://github.com/biemond/puppet
• Download your licensed / Developer Oracle software– From Oracle Technology Network http://otn.oracle.com– From EDelivery https://edelivery.oracle.com
29
From Puppet Forge
Use “puppet module install biemond-wls” on the Puppet Master
30
From GitHub
Use “git clone https://github.com/biemond/puppet.git” on the Puppet Master
