An easy way to get started with TimesTen Scaleout is to set it up on a single host. While normally TimesTen Scaleout would be deployed across more than one, installing everything on just one host allows you to learn about the product and perform experiments with minimal hardware requirements. Naturally such a configuration should not be used for production use or performance testing.
To set up TimesTen Scaleout on a single host your hardware should meet the following requirements:
- Run a supported 64-bit Linux distribution such as Oracle Linux 6 or 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or 7, or SUSE Enterprise Server 12
- 12 GB of RAM
- Has Java release 1.8 (JDK 8) or greater installed
This procedure will configure 5 TimesTen instances: 1 management instance and 4 data instances. It will also create a single database which spans the 4 data instances. Each row of data in this database will be stored in at least two data instances.
To get started, download TimesTen 18.1 from the Oracle Technology Network.
