Clustering Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) Plug-Ins for IIS
To cluster your SWSE plug-ins, use the following procedure.
To cluster Siebel Web Server Extensions with MSCS
- Designate one Web server in the cluster as the primary server.
You must then make all changes to the Web site on this primary server.
- Synchronize all the other servers in the cluster by using the following command:
%systemroot%
\system32\inetsrv\iissynchsecondary server
Example:
C:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\iissync SVCLT2
- Install the Siebel Web Server Extension according to the instructions in Installing the Siebel Web Server Extension but with the following differences:
- The installation directory you specify for the SWSE must be on a clustered disk drive.
- If you clustered the Siebel Gateway, you must use the IP address for a clustered Gateway.
- Switch the Web server resource group to node 2.
- Rename the original SWSE installation folder and install the SWSE a second time on node 2, using the same parameters as you did for the initial installation.
- Cluster the Web site:
- Set up a default Web site according to the vendor documentation. (This default site is created automatically when you install IIS Web Server.)
- Modify the default Web site to respond only to the cluster IP address for the cluster group containing IIS, using Internet Service Manager:
- Select the primary Web server.
- Select Default Web Site >Properties.
- Select the Web Site tab.
- Set the cluster group IP address.
CAUTION: No other sites can be using this IP address or cluster failover may not work.
- Verify that all Siebel eBusiness Applications are installed to the default Web site.
CAUTION: When installing the SWSE, provide the Web server port as part of the Web Server address/hostname if it is a non-standard port.
- Synchronize the IIS Web Server sites on the two servers, using the command in Step 2.
- Using IIS, stop the default Web site and create a new MSCS cluster resource group, as described in the MSCS product documentation with the following parameters:
Resource Type:
IIS Server Instance
Type: WWW
IIS Server: Default Web Site
Dependencies:
Physical Disk, IP Address, Network Name
To uninstall a clustered SWSE
- Follow the standard uninstallation procedures for uninstalling Siebel Web Server Extensions Full Uninstall on node 1. For instructions, see Uninstalling Siebel eBusiness Applications.
- Switch to node 2.
- Select the copy of the SWSE directory that you made in Step 5 of Clustering Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) Plug-Ins for IIS and give it the name of the original installation directory.
- Follow the standard uninstallation procedures for uninstalling Siebel Web Server Extensions Full Uninstall on node 2.
