Installing PeopleSoft HCM 9.2 Image 16 on VirtualBox Part 1


This is the first HCM image PeopleSoft has delivered on PeopleTools 8.55. This image also uses Deployment Packages (DPK). The DPK contains all required software (database, application server, web server and client software), pre-installed and patched. I will detail my installation steps:

1    1)Navigate to the Oracle PUM HCM homepage (Doc ID 1641843.2) and download the VirtualBox image files into a directory on your local computer.

  
  
      2) Unzip the first file HCM-920-UPD-016-OVA_1of15.zip. This will create a setup folder in the same directory.



3    3) You will now need to run the Powershell script, psft-dpk-setup.ps1 located in the setup folder.
    
      4)Open the Powershell program and navigate to the setup folder. (In my case it was E:\VirtualMachines\HCMPI016).



      5) Run the script ./psft-dpk-setup.ps1. In some cases you may have to run the following command,Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted, if you receive an error when trying to run the script. The script will extract all the files and then prompt for options



      6)The script will prompt for more options and then automatically start VirtualBox and continue installation.



      7) Enter the root password – This will be used later

     8) If you enter a hostname, use lowercase.




      9)  Once the DPKs are extracted the database, web server, application server and samba share will be configured and the process will be complete.



1    10)You can log in as the root user and type ifconfig to confirm your IP Address


     11) You can now navigate to the URL http://192.168.56.101:8000/ps/signon.html using your browser.

  1. Hi Jeff

    I am able to install the virtual box as instructed above but now when i try to run pia by accessing the url, page doesnt load. i even tried to ping the ip assigned to it in cmd but request gets timed out with no response.

    Not sure, what's missing. As when i start it virtual box doesnt show me any error and everything has status as OK.

    Really appreciate if you could help on this.

  2. I would check the network preferences in Virtualbox and make sure it has an address of 192.168.56.1. I've ran into this issue before.
