OBIEE 11.1.1.9 - Requirements for a shared mountpoint

Question

Hi,

OBIEE.....: 11.1.1.9

OS..........: AIX 7.1

Database: 12.1.0.2

We are planning to install OBIEE in a cluster of 2 nodes. I was reading the Oracle docs and didn't find any information about a shared location to be used by the nodes in the cluster. My simple question is: Is it necessary to have a shared filesystem accessible by both nodes of the OBIEE cluster?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you need a shared location for content including Presentation Catalog and global cache. Details : https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e10541/cluster.htm#BIESG3448

Yes.  Shared folder is the way to do cluster. I am assuming it's horizontal clustering

Both nodes needs to see RPD and catalog so shared folder should solve the issue
