This article will be helpful for the beginners who want to learn how to Install and configure oracle Ebusiness suite R12.1.1 on multiple
nodes using Linux OS platform on their personal computers/laptops and also for those who want to deploy it in Business Enterprise
server environment.

Steps:
1) prepare all OS orerequisites
2) prepare stage area
3) Install Ebusiness Suite R12.1.1 Software.
Hosts information for Installation:
Perform all operating system perrequisites on all nodes:
ERPDB1
[root@erpdb1 ~]# groupadd dbaerp
[root@erpdb1 ~]# useradd -g dbaerp oramgr
[root@erpdb1 ~]# passwd oramgr
Changing password for user oramgr.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@erpdb1 ~]# mkdir /u01/oraR12

There are two ways we can create stage for R12
1. Stage using script adautostage.pl from start here CD
2. Manual stage create directories and copy media as listed below
startCD - copy Start Here Disk
oraApps - copy APPL_TOP Disk1, Disk2
oraAS - copy TOOLS Disk
oraDB - copy RDBMS Disk
oraAppDB - copy Databases Disk1 to Disk9

I used external drive as my stage area and i have connected to each server when i need to run rapidwiz utility.
As this is three node Installation, so rapidwiz utility need to run on all three hosts from stage area.
>> Running rapidwiz utility:
first on erpdb1 to install and configure database
* This will install database and create configuration file for all other nodes.
* When we run rapidwiz on other nodes just it will pick the configuration information from node1
second on erpappl1 to install and configure conc. services
Third on erpappl2 to install and configure web and form services

Labels: 2 node, 3 node, Linux 5.6, on Linux 5, R12 Multi Node installation
We've done with three node application R12.1.1 installation on LINUX. These steps are applicable on all platforms only it differs in OS
prerequisites for kernel parameters, OS patches on other OS platforms.
In next article i will show how to upgrade database to 11gR2 and migrate it to RAC.
Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.
If you need help or have queries the i can be reached [email protected]

Can you please explain with the other services is always disabled. Other services consists of Load balancing I suppose, just as this
is not required for testinstance you did not enable it ? If this is your though that's fine, else please let me know why ?
I really appriciate you work in updating with the snaps of teh installation, I know how hard is to do all this. U r really great Sir !!!
Also, it would be good if you can share about Multinode cocepts and cloning of multinode instances.
