Server Cluster Installation

Clarify Server Cluster installation starts with an executable file provided by Cleo. An Install Wizard guides you thorough a multi-part process that establishes the:
  1. Server Cluster Database (PostgreSQL)
  2. Server Cluster (server component)
  3. Server Node System Services (executables provided as part of stage 2 completion)

In addition to just running the executable, there are both pre and post-installation steps that need to take place. These include setting up and sharing environments/directories to be used in your Cluster, as well as some post-install configuration and system operations that take place on each Server Node in the Cluster.

What you need to get started

In order to install and begin using the Server Cluster, please have access to the following:

  • Clarify Server Install Executable file (provided by Cleo)
  • Common directory created and shared (with symbolic links to all server locations); for Linux, shared and drive permissions
  • IP addresses or Domain Name info for all machines in Server Cluster
  • Domain user credentials with administrative privileges; for Linux, the install must be run as the Clarify user, from the terminal
  • License (needed post-installation)
  • These Server Cluster Installation procedures (Review before install)

Please review the minimum system requirements. Note that the specifics of your implementation may require more resources than outlined here. Consult your Customer Account Manager or Technical Support for more information.
