Deploying the Siebel Gateway Cluster

This procedure describes how to deploy the Siebel Gateway cluster. You can deploy only one Siebel Gateway cluster in your Siebel deployment. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Gateway Cluster.

NOTE:  You must back up the registry of the primary Siebel Gateway before you deploy the Siebel Gateway cluster. If a failure is observed, then you must restore the Siebel Gateway registry, after which you can make another attempt to deploy the Siebel Gateway cluster. Restoring the Siebel Gateway registry requires you to restart your CRM deployment. For more information about backing up and restoring the Siebel Gateway registry and about stopping and starting the Siebel CRM deployment, see Siebel System Administration Guide. See also Stopping and Starting the Siebel Application Container.

4. Above the hierarchical display of deployment items in the overview area, click the plus sign (+) and then select Gateway Cluster to add a new instance to your Siebel deployment.

   Siebel Gateway must already have been installed, on a sufficient number of nodes. You can deploy a Siebel Gateway cluster only once, but you can then modify the cluster if necessary, such as to add nodes.

5. For Profile, select the profile to use for this deployment of Siebel Gateway cluster.

   You created this profile in Creating a Siebel Gateway Cluster.

6. Under Gateway Service Cluster, for each installed instance that will participate in this cluster, specify the host name and port number.
7. Under Gateway Registry Cluster, for each installed instance that will participate in this cluster, specify the host name and port number.
8. For Action, specify whether you will deploy this Siebel Gateway cluster or stage it for later deployment:
   • If you want to stage this Siebel Gateway cluster for later deployment, then click Staging.
   • If you want to deploy this Siebel Gateway cluster to your Siebel deployment, then click Deploy.
9. To continue, click Submit. Otherwise, click Cancel.

   After the configuration has been submitted, the state of this Siebel Gateway cluster deployment item changes to one of the following states, based on your selection in Step 8: Staging or Deployment in Progress.

   • If the deployment completes successfully, then the state changes to Deployed. The Siebel Gateway cluster starts automatically.
   • If the deployment fails, then the state changes to Deployment Failed.
   • For a deployment in the Staging state, you can deploy it by either clicking the Deploy icon or by setting the Action to Deploy and resubmitting the deployment.
