Deployment (Production) Edition Task Flow

Install Sybase Unwired Platform on either a single server or on multiple nodes in a cluster.

Note:

The deployment edition of Unwired Platform can only be installed on 64-bit Windows systems. This is necessary to provide optimal performance for a production system. When you run the deployment installer on a 32-bit system, only Afaria® is available for installation.

Use this task flow to install these components in a production environment:

Data tier on its own server
Unwired Server on the nodes of the cluster

Review the deployment options available. See System Administration Guide > Systems Design.
To set up a high availability environment using Microsoft Cluster Server, see System Administration for Sybase Unwired Platform > Systems Design > Clustered Environments > Implementing an N+2-node Cluster for Optimal Redundancy. Microsoft Cluster Server support is limited to the data tier and you must set it up before installing Unwired Platform.
Plan your installation. Determine whether:
- To create an installation image on the network.
- You will use an existing JDK installation.
- You have designated machines that can host the data tier and the server nodes.
Verify the installation prerequisites. See System Requirements for Unwired Platform.
Determine your licensing model: unserved (local) license or served (SySAM License Server). See License Validation.
Download a license file. See Obtaining a License.
If you are installing with a served license in an environment where there may not be a port free for the license server to open dynamically on startup, edit your license file to specify a port number. See Setting a Fixed Port Number for SySAM License Server.
Print the Installation Worksheet so you can note important installation details and have them available during subsequent installations.
Install Unwired Platform.
To install in a cluster:
- Install the data tier on its own server. See Installing the Data Tier on its Own Host for a Deployment Installation.
  Note: You must install the data tier even if you are planning to use an existing installation of SQL Anywhere to host your Unwired Platform data. The data tier installation provides the Unwired Server messaging database.
- Install the first node for the cluster. See Installing the First Node for a Deployment Cluster Installation.
- Install the second and subsequent nodes for the cluster. See Installing Additional Nodes in an Existing Cluster for a Deployment Installation.
- Install Afaria®. See Installing Afaria on a 32-bit System for a Deployment Cluster.
To install on a single server, which you cannot upgrade to a cluster:
- Perform a custom installation on that server and select everything that is available on the component selection page. Performing a Custom Installation of Deployment Edition.
- Install Afaria. See Installing Afaria on a 32-bit System for a Deployment Cluster.
To add a component other than Afaria to your installation, re-run the installer. The installer detects the existing installation and automatically takes you to the page where you can select components to add. See Performing a Custom Installation of Deployment Edition.
Perform postinstallation tasks for your installation. See Postinstallation Tasks.
