Additional InformationIn addition to the requirements for software and hardware, LDAP, Web Server, database clients, Transaction Manager, Resource Manager, there are several other pieces of information needed for a successful installation:
Top Level Domain Name (Suffix) Know the license key for the installation. Each installation uses its own key. The same key cannot be used on multiple servers. Determine the number of server processes, C/C++ and/or Java, wanted to run for each instance of a Netscape Application Server. An instance of Netscape Application Server is defined as one licensed Netscape Application Server. Only one instance of Netscape Application server should run per machine. Know the available port numbers on the machines so port numbers can be assigned to the Administrative, Executive, Java, and C++ servers. Valid port numbers must be within the range of 1025 to 65525 and must be unique (not used by any other applications on the system). The default port numbers suggested by the installation are usually acceptable. Decide whether Netscape Application Server should be installed so that it starts up automatically when the system is rebooted. Decide whether to set up the cluster during installation or later. Manual configuration of a cluster is described later in this course. If the decision is made to configure a cluster during installation, know the IP addresses and the priority for all servers participating in the cluster. |
