Selecting Installation Options

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

  1. Specify the installation location on the target host.
    If you specify a non-default location, all directory names in the absolute path should contain only:
    • ASCII alphanumeric characters
    • Underscore ( _ ) or hyphen ( - ) characters

    No space characters and no other symbols are allowed in the path to the installation location.

  2. On the installation type page, select Cluster and click Next.
  3. On the cluster setup selection page, select Install the data tier for your Unwired Platform cluster and click Next.
  4. (Optional) Select additional installation options.
    • Select Configure data tier to:
      • Change default ports used by data tier servers, or
      • Install the data tier on a host configured with Microsoft Cluster Service (or Failover Clustering).
  5. 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.
  6. If you selected Configure Data Tier:
    1. Enter port numbers or accept the defaults for:
      • Consolidated Database Server
      • Cluster Database Server
      • Monitoring Database Server
      • Messaging Database Server
    2. If you are installing the data tier on a host configured with Microsoft Cluster Service (or Failover Clustering), select Install Data Tier into high availability environment, then complete the following fields.
      • Enter a path for the location of the high availability data – Enter the path to the shared cluster storage resource that will house the data tier database files.

        The path must use a drive letter mapped on each data tier host. It cannot be a UNC path.

        The path must point to an empty directory, or a new directory to be created by the installer, in the shared cluster storage resource.

      • Enter a name for database server – Enter the database server name to be used for the Unwired Platform cluster database, consolidated database, and monitoring database server.

      For more information on using Microsoft Cluster Service (or Failover Clustering) with Unwired Platform, see System Administration, Implementing an N+2-node Cluster for Optimal Redundancy.
