Installing Servers and File Systems on the Regional Node

To install the regional node, you must configure a new Siebel Enterprise Server on the regional node that contains a name that is different from the name that the headquarters node uses. For more information, see About the Siebel Enterprise and the Siebel Enterprise Server.

To install servers and file systems on the regional node

1. Install the Siebel Gateway.

   For more information, see the following items:

   • Requirements for Connectivity with the Siebel Gateway

   • Siebel Installation Guide

   • Siebel System Administration Guide

2. Install the ODBC driver that the RDBMS vendor uses for your implementation.

   For more information, see Requirements for the ODBC Driver.

3. Install the Siebel Server and the Database Configuration Utilities.

4. Start the Database Configuration Wizard and install the Siebel database.

   Note: Installing the Siebel database on the regional node is very different from installing it on the headquarters node. For more information, see Installing the Database Configuration Utilities and the Regional Siebel Database on the Regional Node. See also the Siebel Installation Guide.

5. Start the Siebel Management Console and configure your Siebel installations.

   As the Siebel Management Console prompts you, specify valid connectivity information for all of the components in your regional Siebel environment. Each regional node must be associated with a unique Siebel Enterprise Server name. For more information, see Requirements for Installing the Siebel Server on the Regional Node. See also the Siebel Installation Guide.

6. Create the Siebel File System.

   For more information, see Creating the Siebel File System on the Regional Node.

For more information on installing these components, see the Siebel Server installation guide for your operating system.
