The type of setup required in large part depends on whether you are doing a new install with the Unwired Platform installer or using an Afaria installation that pre-exists.
Initial setup of a Afaria requires that you use:
Task | New Install | Existing Install |
---|---|---|
The Unwired Platform installer – to install Afaria components on the same or different server node as Unwired Server. Typically Afaria should be installed to a separate node as scaling requirements differ. See Sybase Unwired Platform Install Guide. |
Yes | Not applicable |
Sybase Control Center – to register the Afaria server and thereby launch the Administrator from this tool. See Sybase Control Center online help> Get Started> Get Started with Unwired Platform > Opening the Afaria Administration Console. |
Yes | Yes |
Afaria Administrator – to configure Afaria correctly to Provision Unwired Platform Devices. See System Administration for Sybase Unwired Platform > System Administration > Device and User Management > Device Provisioning. |
Yes | Yes |
Various Unwired Platform setup scripts – to install and configure the OTA Deployment Center. See the Afaria Install Guide. |
No | Yes |
Use a relay server with Afaria servers See Afaria Install Guide. |
