Selecting Installation Options

Specify the installation directory, installation type, Unwired Platform components, and additional installation options.

  1. Specify the absolute path to the installation location, which must reside in a local drive on the target host.

    The total length of the path must be 43 characters or less.

    Directory names in the path can contain only:
    • ASCII alphanumeric characters
    • Underscore ( _ ) or hyphen ( - ) characters
  2. On the installation option page, select Unwired Platform Runtime and click Next.
  3. On the installation type page, select Cluster and click Next.
  4. On the cluster setup selection page, select Install the data tier for your Unwired Platform cluster and click Next.
  5. (Optional) Select additional installation options.
    • Select Configure data tier to:
      • Change default server ports, passwords, or locations of database files, or
      • Install the data tier on a host in a failover cluster.
  6. Enter the cluster administrator password for Unwired Platform.
    Note: This password is for Unwired Platform configuration only. It is not associated with a user ID authenticated by Active Directory, or locally on the installation target host. It must be used in any subsequent Unwired Platform installation or upgrade.
  7. (Optional) If you selected Configure data tier:
    1. Enter port numbers and passwords, or accept the defaults, for:
      • Cache Database Server
      • Cluster Database Server
      • LogData Database Server
      • Messaging Database Server (no password)
    2. (Optional) If you want to specify non-default locations for database files and transaction logs, select Specify separate locations for database and/or transaction log files.
    3. (Optional) If you are installing data tier components in a failover cluster, select Install the data tier into high availability environment.
    4. Click Next.
  8. (Optional, non-clustered data tier) If you selected Configure data tier, and then selected only Specify separate locations for database and/or transaction log files, complete the following fields.
    • Shared data path – Enter the path to a storage location that will house the data tier database and transaction log files.

      The path must point to a local storage device, or use a drive letter mapped on the data tier host. It cannot be a UNC path.

      The path must point to an existing, empty directory.

    • ... data path – (Optional) Enter the path to a storage location that will house the database files, for each database listed.

      Each path must point to an existing, empty directory.

    • ... log path – (Optional) Enter the path to a storage location that will house the transaction logs, for each database listed.

      Each path must point to an existing, empty directory.

  9. (Optional, clustered data tier) If you selected Configure data tier, and then selected only Install the data tier into high availability environment, complete the following fields.
    • Enter a path for the location of the high availability data – Enter the path to a location in the shared data folder that will house the data tier database and transaction log files.
      Note: The shared data folder must be either a file share resource group, or a Client Access Point.

      The path must use the same drive letter mapped on all data tier hosts. It cannot be a UNC path.

      The path must point to an existing, empty directory, in the shared data folder.

    • Enter a name for database server – Enter the server name to be used for the cache, cluster, and logging (system monitoring and domain logging) database server.

      The database server name must be identical on all data tier hosts. The service identified by that name must be configured as a managed resource in the failover cluster.

    • Enter a path for the transaction log file location of the high availability data – (Optional) Enter the path to a storage location that will house the data tier transaction log files.

      The path must use the same drive letter mapped on all data tier hosts. It cannot be a UNC path.

      The path must point to an existing, empty directory.

  10. (Optional, clustered data tier) If you selected Configure data tier, and then selected both Specify separate locations for database and/or transaction log files and Install the data tier into high availability environment:
    1. In Shared data path, enter the path to a location in the shared data folder that will house the data tier database and transaction log files.
      Note: The shared data folder must be either a file share resource group, or a Client Access Point.

      The path must use the same drive letter mapped on all data tier hosts. It cannot be a UNC path.

      The path must point to an existing, empty directory, in the shared data folder.

    2. In Enter a name for database server, enter the server name to be used for the cache, cluster, and logging (system monitoring and domain logging) database server.

      The database server name must be identical on all data tier hosts. The service identified by that name must be configured as a managed resource in the failover cluster.

    3. (Optional) In ... data path fields, enter the path to a storage location that will house the database files, for each database listed.

      Each path must use the same drive letter mapped on all data tier hosts. It cannot be a UNC path.

      Each path must point to an existing, empty directory.

    4. (Optional) In ... log path fields, enter the path to a storage location that will house the transaction log files, for each database listed.

      Each path must use the same drive letter mapped on all data tier hosts. It cannot be a UNC path.

      Each path must point to an existing, empty directory.
