In a new installation of Unwired Server, if you let the
installer use the computer name for the server name and, on the first
Unwired Server, as the cluster name, the computer name must meet the
same requirements as server and cluster names that you specify.
In a
new installation of Unwired Server, if you do not specify a server
name, by default the installer uses the computer name for the server name. If it is a
single-server installation, or the first Unwired Server node in a
cluster, the installer also uses the computer name by default for the cluster name. In
these cases, the computer name must meet the same requirements as server and cluster
names that you enter.
Each server or cluster name:
- Must contain only:
- ASCII alphanumeric characters
- Underscore ("_"), hyphen ("-"), and period
(".") characters
- Server names must be 32 characters or less and must begin with an alphanumeric
character.
- Cluster names must be 22 characters or less.
If the computer name does not meet these requirements, you have two options for
installing Unwired Server on that system:
Workaround 1: Keep the computer name as is:
- In the Selecting Installation Options section of the installation
task, select the option to Set Unwired Server
name (Set Unwired Server name and
cluster name in a single-server installation, or for the first
Unwired Server node in a cluster).
- In the next step, specify a server name that meets the requirements listed in
that step
Workaround 1: Before running the installer, change the computer name so that it
meets the requirements listed in the next step for a user-entered server name. For a
single-server installation or for the first Unwired Server node in a
cluster, make sure it also meets the requirements for a user-entered cluster name:
- Change the computer name.
- Start the installer.
- When you reach the Selecting Installation Options section of the
installation task, do not select the option to Set
Unwired Server name (Set
Unwired Server name and cluster name in a
single-server installation, or for the first Unwired Server
node in a cluster).
