If you install the product on distributed servers, you
must install core software, including the parse and index services
and the administration console on one computer, which is known as
the master server. You can then install additional servers to support
crawling, indexing, and search and to provide failover support for
these activities.
After you install the software on this computer, you must
add a crawler server and at least one search server.
To install
the master server for a multiple server installation by using the
graphical installation program:
- From the product DVD or electronic
distribution image, extract the files in the .zip file or .tar file
for your operating system and run the appropriate command:
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| AIX® or Linux |
- Enter: ./launchpad.sh
- To view information about prerequisites or any known issues before
you install the product, click Prerequisite Information or Release
Information.
- Click Install Product to start the installation
program.
|
| Windows |
- Double-click the launchpad.exe file or enter launchpad.exe in
a command window.
- To view information about prerequisites or any known issues before
you install the product, click Prerequisite Information or Release
Information.
- Click Install Product to start the installation
program.
|
- Follow the instructions in the installation program. When you specify installation options:
- Verify the fully qualified host
name of this computer.
Restriction: You
cannot specify an IPv6 address as the host name of the server.
- Accept or change the user name and password for the
default IBM® Content
Analytics with Enterprise Search administrator.
The administrator ID and password must be the same on all servers.
To administer the IBM Content
Analytics with Enterprise Search system, you log in as the
master administrator with this user name and password. The default
value is esadmin. If you log in with a non-root
user ID to start the installation program, you cannot change the user
name and you cannot select the check box to create the user. To specify
a domain user, use the format username@domain
name. The domain user cannot be created by the
installation program.
If you plan to use WebSphere® Application
Server instead of the embedded
web application server, specify the user name for an administrative
user who is registered in the LDAP server registry. Authentication
for all administrative and application users that you add to the system
is handled through WebSphere Application
Server global
security.
- For the server type, select Master: Distributed
server.
- Click Install to use the default
settings for all other installation options and start installing the
software.
- Optional: If you want to change the default
settings, click Advanced Options instead of
clicking Install.
- Use the following guidelines when you specify installation
options:
- On AIX or Linux, if you do not accept the
default paths for the installation and data directories, ensure that
the paths that you specify do not contain spaces in the path names.
- Ensure that the default ports do not conflict with
any ports that are already assigned to other applications on this
computer.
- On the summary page, review the options that
you selected and click Install to start installing
the software.
- On Windows,
after the software is installed, restart the computer and log in as
the IBM Content
Analytics with Enterprise Search administrative
user before you start IBM Content
Analytics with Enterprise Search.
On Windows Server
2008, click .
- Optional: Verify the installation
by running the First Steps program and clicking Start Server.
After the server is started, click Verify Installation. When you log in as the administrative user,
the First Steps program is started automatically.
