This chapter provides the steps to install and configure the Siebel Analytics Cluster Server feature. It contains the following topics and tasks:

• Installation Requirements for the Analytics Cluster Server Feature
• Installing the Siebel Analytics Server Clustering Feature
• Installing the Server Clustering Feature
• Process of Configuring Clustered Servers, Clients, and Controllers
• Key Components of an Analytics Server Cluster

For a list of hardware requirements for clustered Siebel Analytics Servers, cluster controllers, and the shared file system used as the Siebel Analytics repository publishing directory, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.

NOTE:  The Cluster Server feature works for Siebel Analytics Server only. Analytics Web Server cannot be clustered in the same way as the Siebel Analytics Server, because metadata is stored in a single location (Web Catalog) on the Web server file system.

TIP:   Although the Analytics Web Server itself cannot be clustered, Siebel Analytics Web contains utilities to support replication of Web catalog content among multiple Analytics Web servers. For more information about these Web Replication utilities, see Siebel Technical Note 579 on Siebel SupportWeb.
