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 the option for this Unwired Server node and click Next.
   • Install the first server node and connect it to the data tier
   • Install an additional server node and connect it to the data tier
4. If a page appears, indicating that the installer detected missing third-party software, click:
   • Next to install the required software.
   • Back to select components to install that do not require the third-party software.
   • Cancel to stop the current installation.
5. (Optional) Select additional installation options.
   • Configure Unwired Platform communication ports to change default ports.
   • Set Sybase Unwired Platform services to start automatically to start services automatically when Windows starts.

     Set Unwired Platform services to start automatically, if you plan to install products that work with Unwired Platform, such as Sybase SAP® DOE Connector and Sybase Mobile Sales for SAP® CRM. If Unwired Platform services do not start automatically, dependent products will encounter problems.

6. Enter information that the Unwired Platform installer needs to access the data tier.
   1. Enter the Unwired Platform cluster administrator password.
      The Unwired Platform cluster administrator password is specified when the data tier is installed.
   2. Enter the UNC path to the file system that houses database files for the data tier.

      The UNC path must use a fully qualified server name (host.domain).

      If you installed the data tier on hosts configured with Microsoft Cluster Service (or Failover Clustering), enter the UNC path to the shared cluster storage resource that houses database files for the data tier.

7. Enter information for the Windows account under which Unwired Server services will run.
   The user ID (account name) must:

   • Be a Windows domain user ID
   • Be a member of the local Administrator's group on the installation target host
   • Have read/write access to the to the file system that houses database files for the data tier.

   Note: If you are installing Unwired Server nodes in an Unwired Platform cluster, you must enter identical Windows account information for each Unwired Server node.
8. Enter information that Unwired Server needs to connect to the data tier.
   1. Enter the name of the data tier host.

      If the data tier is installed on hosts with Microsoft Cluster Service (or Failover Clustering), enter the name of the cluster service that acts as a "virtual host" for the data tier.

   2. Enter the following for each configurable database (consolidated database, cluster database, and monitoring database):
      • Database Name
      • Port Number
      • Login
      • Password

      Values shown in those fields are populated by the Unwired Platform installer, from a properties file created when the data tier was installed. In a typical installation, you need not change any pre-populated field value.

9. (Optional) If you selected Configure Unwired Platform communication ports, change the port numbers as needed.
   • General ports:

     • Server administration
     • Data change notification
   • Synchronization ports:

     • Messaging
     • Replication
