Installation Tasks for the Siebel Server

Installation tasks consist of the following:

Pre-Installation Checklist for the Siebel Server
Installing and Configuring the Siebel Server

You must run the Siebel Server installation program for each Siebel Server that will be installed on a machine. This program performs the following tasks:

Sets up its own directory structure.
Copies the software to the disk.
Installs the Siebel Server components.
Configures the Siebel Enterprise Server (if required) and the Siebel Server.

The term Siebel Enterprise Server is used by Siebel Systems to refer to a group of Siebel Servers that can be administered and configured as a unit rather than individually. It does not refer to a separate computer or a separate program.

Therefore, when you install the first Siebel Server in your deployment, you automatically configure the Siebel Enterprise Server. All subsequent Siebel Servers installed that connect to the same database must be installed under this Siebel Enterprise Server.

NOTE:  If you intend to configure multiple Siebel Enterprise Servers on to a single machine in your development or test environment, you should issue a command similar to unsetenv $SIEBEL_ROOT (where $SIEBEL_ROOT is the environment variable for the installation root directory) to specify a unique $SIEBEL_ROOT for each Siebel Enterprise Server. Configuring multiple Siebel Enterprise Servers on to a single machine is not supported for production environment.
