Excellent! Now we have an agreement on the top level, and it is as follows:
Top Level
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev
/opt/app/psoft/mrgtst
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdmo
/opt/app/psoft/mrguat
For the detail level, I like to propose something like the following:
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/pt849/hmc9.0
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/pt849/hmc9.1
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/tux9.1
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/tux9.2
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/wl9.1
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/wl9.2
In addition, I like to propose the following directories as the paths where the current version should be running from.
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/pt A link that points to the current version of PeopleTools
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/pt849/hmc A link that points to the current version of HMC
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/tux A link that points to the current version of Tuxedo
/opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/wl A link that points to the running version of Weblogic
For example, let’s say we’re running hmc9.0 on PT849, /opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/pt/hmc would be pointing to /opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/pt849/hmc9.0.
If we upgrade hmc to hmc9.1, we just need to adjust opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/pt/hmc to point to /opt/app/psoft/mrgdev/pt849/hmc9.1.
Hope, I’ve made this clear enough. How does this sound? If everyone is OK with this, we can use this as a template for the other environments.

I'm OK with that.

Jim,
I like the top level directories to be the environment names more. This way all files that pertain to a particular environment fall under a single directory. One advantage is that if we need to make a backup of a particular environment, we just have to deal with a single directory. So, should we use environment names as the top level dir names instead? thx

Thanks Wendell,
Here are my update:
Top Level
/opt/app/psoft/hcm
/opt/app/psoft/portal
/opt/app/psoft/elm
/opt/app/psoft/bea - for BEA Tuxedo or Weblogic. Only needs to be installed once per server. (BEA installer will create subdirectory structure)
/opt/app/psoft/microfocus - for COBOL Compiler (COBOL installer will create subdirectory structure)
Detail level :
/opt/app/psoft/hcm/mrgdev
/opt/app/psoft/hcm/mrgtst
/opt/app/psoft/hcm/mrgdmo
/opt/app/psoft/hcm/mrguat
/opt/app/psoft/portal/mrgprdev
/opt/app/psoft/portal/mrgprtst
/opt/app/psoft/portal/mrgprdmo
/opt/app/psoft/portal/mrgpruat
/opt/app/psoft/elm/mrgeldev
/opt/app/psoft/elm/mrgeltst
/opt/app/psoft/elm/mrgeldmo
/opt/app/psoft/elm/mrgeluat
Here are my suggested changes. This config would group peoplesoft systems by function. I added 2 characters for portal and elm environments. I seem to remember that database names can only be up to 8 characters in a peoplesoft system.The peopletools version in the directory structure seemed redundant since all the system would be at the same level. Mel, can you verify the database name limit and the tools? A decision was made earlier that "sys" invironment should be installed to mrgdev, mrgprdev, mrgeldev accordingly.
If any one has any questions or amendments please let us know.
Thanks again,
Jim.

Attached is a sample set of Linux kernels parameters. Your parameters maybe larger than the ones in the document and that is fine. But these are minimum values have to be used. These settings are so the PeopleSoft application, batch and web servers can start up.
I need a PeopleSoft userid created. The password can not be longer than 8 characters and NO special characters in the password.
This PeopleSoft userid has to be part of the DBA group so it has access to the oracle files.
I already sent a file with sample ports that we can use.
I need a mount point created to install all of the PeopleSoft software underneath with the PeopleSoft userid. ie. /opt/app/psoft
I will be installing:
1) a PS_HOME that will look like /opt/app/psoft/pt849/hcm9/<db_name>
2) Tuxedo that will look similar to /opt/app/psoft/bea/tux91/tuxedo91
3) Weblogic that will look like /opt/app/psoft/bea/wl92/weblogic92
4) cobol compiler -- installed as root user
And one last thing .... ALL of the servers need to resolve with the same authentication domain ... ie. peoplesoft.com
I will need to be able to ping the IP address and also ping the fully qualified name from each of the servers -- to all of the other servers.
The latest tools 8.49 tools patch should be downloaded.
All of the CD's need to reside on the windows file/batch server PLUS on the Linux servers. The Linux servers may have a shared mount point that all of the servers have access to (this will save time copying multiple files). If this is not possible, then all of the zipped files need to be sent via FTP to each of the Linux server (except the DB server of course).
Planned Installation steps (high level).
Day 1.
Install all of the third party Products (except cobol compiler)
Install all the PS_HOME's
Configure the workstations to use configuration manager
load DMO & SYS by 1:30pm (reason for 2 workstations)
create DMO & SYS app server domains
create DMO & SYS batch server domains on both windows and Linux
Day 2
rel up DMO & SYS to tools 8.49
create PIA's for DMO & SYS
load PeopleBooks and generate the search collections
install cobol compiler
log into the databases and configure the report repository and other stuff
setup Change Assistant to apply the MP the next day
certify that the install has been installed properly
back up the databases
Day 3 & Day 4
apply the MP to DMO & SYS
This is a very tight schedule and usually week one we hit all of the snags we should hit. Any time lost on week one, will be made up on week 2 because we should not be having the same errors again.
Every install is done the exact same way, except UPK .... UPK is just install and load all of the data. Only time will tell how long this process will take.
