27.1 Technical Requirements

Issue/Symptom/Question

My company is going through an upgrade to 27.1 and I need to set up servers for the upgrade project. What is required to have these servers ready for the upgrade?

Applies To

On premise customers upgrading to 27.1.

Resolution/Fix/Answer

If you are planning to apply changes to your infrastructure beyond these requirements, please do not do so until you’ve discussed with the upgrade team to minimize disruption in the upgrade process.

Prior to purchasing or setting up infrastructure, ensure your desired infrastructure is in compliance with your Oracle licensing.

Database Server:  OS Redhat 8

  • Network is configured with DNS, Domain, and IP address

  • The following mount points are setup, with space equal to or greater than existing setup:

    • /opt/app/penta – PENTA executables and logs reside here

    • /u01 – oracle installed here

    • /u02 – oracle databases reside here

    • /u03 – oracle controlfile/redo logs and database backups write here

  • Root password/sudo accounts is set to a unique password and provided to Penta via a secure method.

  • Redhat subscription registered

  • SSH is on and enabled for root

  • Connection to current server is allowed

  • Any additional setup/ hardening is to be done after initial setup. Have the teams work closely with Penta to avoid potential issues.

Windows Servers:  Windows Server 2022

  • Provide accounts with local admin privileges. (pentaservice, penta and reqit access)

  • RDP enabled

  • SSL Certificate installed on OnBase server and Web server

  • Connection to the Database server (for DMZ only port 1521 is required, for Onbase and Penta for Windows)

  • DNS record created for the Linux server for domain and DMZ

 

 If you are planning to utilize PentaVault or PentaAccess, there are additional servers required. Please see PentaVault and PentaAccess Technical Requirements for more information and discuss with your Customer Success Manager.

PentaVault and PentaAccess will not be installed with your PENTA 27.1 upgrade.

After the above has been completed, please ensure connectivity to the new servers and reach out to the Upgrade Team so we can verify that we can connect.
