Installation Requirements for Hummingbird SearchServer

Make sure that the following requirements are met before you begin the installation process:

• For easier configuration, the Hummingbird SearchServer must be installed on the designated Siebel Server before any Siebel software installations are performed. If you need to install Hummingbird SearchServer on a machine where a Siebel Server is already installed, see Modifying Siebel Search Parameters for Installation of Hummingbird on an Existing Siebel Server.
• You must have administrator permission for the machine on which you want to install Hummingbird SearchServer. For information on setting up appropriate permissions for the installation, see Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows: Servers, Mobile Web Clients, Tools.
• If you plan to have very large indices (or frequent searches and indexing), use a dedicated Siebel Server.
• Make sure that you have enough disk space for the indices. Temporary space requirements for indexing can be two to four times the ultimate size of the index files.
• The Search server machine must have client connectivity to the Siebel database.
• You must determine where the external document indices will be kept. Create a share name for the location, and give all users read access to it.
• The Web Server, Siebel Server and Hummingbird SearchServer may be installed on independent machines. However, the Siebel Server that is dedicated to perform maintenance on search indices must be located on the same machine as the Hummingbird SearchServer.
