Setting Up Data Tier Nodes

Set up a data tier node using the Unwired Platform installer. The data tier node includes the consolidated database (CDB), the cluster database, the monitoring database, and the messaging database. An Afaria database is also installed if you install the Afaria server.

Note: Perform these steps on all nodes participating in the MS cluster unless otherwise indicated.
  1. Run the Sybase Unwired Platform installer.
    Use the installer to set up your enterprise deployment license, installation folder, and so on. See Sybase Unwired Platform Installation Guide.
  2. When prompted to choose the installation type, choose Cluster Setup and click Next.
  3. When prompted to choose the platform features to install, select Install data tier for your Unwired Platform cluster, and click Next.
    Continue running the installer as documented in Sybase Unwired Platform Install Guide > Installing the Deployment (Production) Edition > Installing the Deployment Edition in a Cluster > Installing the Data Tier on a Separate Host for a Deployment Installation.
  4. Review the summary and click Install.
    The installer creates all required data tier services. For a complete list of services including those names of data services, see Unwired Platform windows Services.
    Note: Ensure that the consolidated database server name is the same on all the data tier servers.
  5. If required, run the installer on another host to install a failover data node.
