Clustering the Siebel Gateway Name Server with MSCS

To install the Siebel Gateway, you must move the cluster group that will contain the Siebel Gateway to the machine on which you are working.

To cluster the Siebel Gateway

  1. Install the Siebel Gateway on the primary node.

    2. The Gateway must be installed on a clustered disk drive that is a resource in the same cluster resource group in which the Siebel Gateway resource will run.

    For information about installing the Siebel Gateway, see Installing the Siebel Gateway.

    CAUTION:  When prompted during Siebel Gateway installation about whether you want the Gateway to start automatically, you must choose No. All starting and stopping of the Gateway must occur through the Cluster Administrator.

  2. Move the cluster resource group from the first node to the second node.
  3. Open a DOS command window on the second node and change the directory, as follows:

    4. \SIEBEL_ROOT\gtwysrvr\ADMIN

  4. Enter:

    5. cluster_gtwy.bat svcpasswd

    where:

    svcpasswd is the Windows OS password.

    NOTE:  This batch file is created by the Siebel Gateway install on the first node, at the time the first node is installed with the Siebel Gateway. This batch will be used to configure the second node instance of the Gateway Name server.

  5. Using Cluster Administrator, create a resource for the Siebel Gateway service within the resource group previously created for the Gateway:
    1. Use the following parameters:

    Resource Type: Generic Service

    Service Name: gtwyns

    Dependencies: Physical Disk, Network Name, IP Address

    NOTE:  The service name must match the name used in the Windows registry under regedit > HK_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > Current Control Set > Services.

    1. Click Use Network Name for computer name.
  6. Using Cluster Administrator, test failover by switching the SiebSrvr between cluster nodes.

To uninstall a clustered Siebel Gateway with MSCS

  1. Switch to node 1.
  2. Open a command prompt session on the same node.
  3. Navigate to the \BIN subdirectory of the Siebel Gateway Name Server installation directory.
  4. Run the rm_gtwy.scm script on node 2 to start the Siebel Configuration Wizard.
  5. Make sure that the Siebel Gateway is running on the primary node, then follow the standard uninstallation procedures. For instructions, see Uninstalling Siebel eBusiness Applications.
  6. To uninstall the second node for Siebel Gateway Name Server:
    1. Open a command prompt session on the same node.
    2. Navigate to the \BIN subdirectory of the Siebel Gateway Name Server installation directory.
    3. Run the rm_gtwy.scm script to start the Siebel Configuration Wizard.
