Setting Up Runtime Server Tier Nodes

Once you have confirmed that the generic service available, you can install and configure the runtime services tier.

Sybase recommends that you use a Windows OS /3GB switch for Windows Server machines with 4GB or more of RAM if you are implementing a cluster in a production environment.
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. Choose what node you are installing.
    The first node of the cluster determines the cluster name by adopting the host name as the cluster name. For subsequent nodes, you need not provide a name, because each Unwired Server that joins the cluster, assumes the cluster name, with a number that is incremented accordingly. For example, the first server is named SybaseUnwiredPlatformMYHOSTServer1, the second SybaseUnwiredPlatformMYHOSTServer2, and so on.
    Note: If the cluster is to be part of a hosted Relay Server, use only alphanumeric names, since Relay Server does not allow asterisks, spaces, hyphens, or any other special character.
  3. When prompted to choose the installation type, choose Cluster Setup and click Next.
  4. When prompted to choose setup type, select either Install the first server node and connect it to the data tier or Install an additional server node and connect it to the data tier. Provide the Microsoft cluster name (that is, the MS Cluster Access point as the host name of the data tier).
    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 First Node for a Deployment Installation or Installing Additional Nodes in an Existing Cluster for a Deployment Installation.
  5. Repeat these steps on other hosts until all your server nodes are set up.

In a production environment, you may need to register the server with Sybase Control Center and tune performance properties for the server. See System Administration > Environment Setup > Server Performance Tuning.
