Software

All Siebel Analytics Server and cluster controller computers participating in the cluster need to run identical versions of the Siebel Analytics software.

Network

All computers participating in the cluster need to be within the same domain and on the same LAN subnet. Geographically separated computers are not supported.

Configuration

If data source names (DSN) are used in the connection pools, these DSN should point to the same data source on each of the Siebel Analytics Servers that participate in the cluster. That is, the connection pool DSN should be the same on each Siebel Analytics Server node in the cluster.

First configure one repository, and then copy it to the other Siebel Analytics Servers participating in the cluster.

Synchronization

The clock on each server participating in a cluster must be kept in synchronization. Out-of-sync clocks can skew some cluster-related reporting.

• Windows: use a synchronization software program
• UNIX: use a time daemon such as NTP
