Configuring the BIG-IP WOM for Oracle Data Guard, GoldenGate, Streams, and Recovery ManagerPrerequisites and configuration notesThe following are prerequisites and configuration notes for thisimplementation◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆You must have two BIG-IP LTMs that are running on one of thefollowing platforms: 3600, 3900, 6900, 8900, or 11000. One BIG-IPLTM will be used for each end of the WAN network you wish to use forWAN Optimization.You must be running BIG-IP TMOS version 10.2 or later (with the sameversion running on each unit), and the WOM license enabled on bothdevices.You must have administrative access to both the Web management andSSH command line interfaces on the BIG-IP system.You must have administrative / sysdba level access to the Oracledatabase servers where database services are running to be able to editand control those services.You must have administrative access to the host OS of the databaseservers, for modifying the TCP send and receive buffers settings and hostIP routing table.You must have an existing routed IP network between the two locationswhere the BIG-IP LTMs will be installed.If there are firewalls, you must have TCP port 443 open in bothdirections. TCP port 22 for SSH access to the command line interface isalso needed for configuration verification, but not for actual BIG-IPWOM traffic.For more configuration options on the BIG-IP WAN OptimizationModule, see the Configuration Guide for BIG-IP WAN OptimizationModule, available on Ask F5.Before beginning the procedures in this guide, we recommend you backup your configuration. See Appendix A: Backing up and restoring theBIG-IP system configuration, on page 22.ImportantYou will need to stop and restart both the Oracle Listener and Oracledatabase on the Primary and Standby servers, for the Oracle configurationchanges to take effect. We recommend you schedule a database plannedoutage.F5 ® Deployment Guide 2

Added an OptimizedApplication specific to GoldenGate.- Changed the TCP WAN profile from optional to required.Configuration exampleIn this guide, our example deployment contains two data centers, with aBIG-IP system located in each data center. The two Oracle database serversare also located in each data center. One instance of the database is runningas the database Primary, and the other is running as the database remotestandby. We show how to configure the BIG-IP WOM software to create anSSL secured iSession tunnel between the two BIG-IP systems, enable theTCP and compression features of WOM, and monitor the statistics asdatabase replication traffic is passed from one data center to the otherthrough the WOM tunnel.Figure 1, on page 4 shows a diagram of the data centers, network, databases,and LTMs in our example. The Wide Area Network in our example is aDS3, 45mb/s link, with a Round Trip Time latency of 50 milliseconds.3
