Installing the Siebel Analytics Cluster

This task is part of the Process of Installing the Clustering Feature.

To install the clustering feature

  1. On each computer that is to host a Siebel Analytics Cluster Controller, install the Siebel Analytics software.

    Use the procedure in Installing Siebel Analytics Software in the Windows Environment.

    In the Setup Type window, select the Custom option, and then select the Siebel Analytics Cluster feature. All other options are selected by default in this screen; you can deselect the options you do not want to install. For example, if this computer is to host a Cluster Controller only, the Cluster Controller feature is the only feature you need to install.

  2. On each computer that is to host a Siebel Analytics Server, install the Siebel Analytics software.

    Use the procedure in Installing Siebel Analytics Software in the Windows Environment.

    In the Setup Type window, you can select the Server option, the Complete option or the Custom option, depending on the Siebel Analytics components you want to install on that particular computer. For example, if a computer hosts both a Siebel Analytics Server and a Cluster Controller, select the Custom option, and then select the Siebel Analytics Cluster feature (all other features are selected by default in this screen).

  3. Complete the installation, and make sure to read the readme file when prompted.
  4. Reboot the computer when prompted.

    NOTE:  Using the default configuration created by the installation process causes the Cluster Controllers to fail to start. This problem is addressed in Configuring Clustered Servers and Cluster Controllers.

  5. Copy any required repository files to the Repository subdirectory in the Siebel Analytics software installation directory on each computer.

    NOTE:  All Siebel Analytics Servers in the cluster must have identical copies of all repository files.

  6. Install and configure any necessary back-end database access packages.

    For example, sites using SQL Server need to configure SQL Server DSNs referenced by the repositories.
