Siebel Server Installation Guide for UNIX > Preparing for the Installation > Planning Your Siebel Deployment >

Considerations Independent of Your Environment Profile

---

Regardless of your environment profile you need to consider the following:

Language Pack Installation. You do not need to install all the secondary languages that your Siebel Deployment may run on the Siebel Gateway Name Server. However, due to the fact that Siebel Gateway Name Server installation installs certain utilities used by the Siebel Servers, Siebel administrators will only see error messages in the languages that have been installed on the Siebel Gateway Name Server.

NOTE:  In a Unicode-enabled database environment, you can install any of the available Siebel language packs. In a non-Unicode database environment, you must consider the correlation of the language packs you want to install and the characters supported by your database code page. For example, in a Western European code page database, you can only install Western European language packs such as English, French, Spanish, or German language packs. And in a Japanese code page database, you can only install Japanese or English language packs.

For a list of supported code pages and encoding strategies, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms.

Number of Name Servers per Machine. In a production environment, there can be only one Name Server installed per machine.
Name Server Sharing. Do not share the same Name Server for your development, test, and production.
