Installing the Cluster Coordinator package

To run in a cluster, the Cluster Coordinator package must be installed and the Cluster Coordinator service must be running on the one cluster node that is designated to be the leader node.

It is assumed that you have downloaded the Cluster Coordinator package and also have installed the Oracle Endeca Server on the node.

You install the Cluster Coordinator by unzipping its package into the localdisk:\Oracle\Endeca\ClusterCoordinator\<version> directory. If you installed the Oracle Endeca Server, this directory will be parallel to the directory in which the server is installed.

To install the Cluster Coordinator on the leader node:

  1. Download the following packages to your localdisk:\Oracle\Endeca directory:
    Windows ES_version_cluster_coordinator_win.tgz
    Linux ES_version_cluster_coordinator_linux.tgz
    where <version> is the current version of the Oracle Endeca Server software package.
  2. Unzip the Cluster Coordinator package, using the command similar to the following example (on Linux):
    cd /localdisk tar xzf /Oracle/Endeca/ES_version_cluster_coordinator_linux.tgz
    The Cluster Coordinator package is installed in:
    Oracle/Endeca/ClusterCoordinator/<version>
    on Linux.
    For Windows, the path is:
    Oracle\Endeca\ClusterCoordinator\<version>

Once the Cluster Coordinator package is installed on the leader node, its service can be started. For information on starting the cluster, see the Oracle Endeca Server Administrator's Guide.
