Installing UNIX Engines
Installing the DataSynapse GridServer UNIX Engine comprises unpacking a gzip-compressed tar archive on a UNIX system; creating or using a profile on the Manager; and associating the Engine with that profile.
To install an Engine on a UNIX system:
| 1. | Log in to the GridServer Administration Tool, go to the top navigation bar, and click the Downloads icon. |
| 2. | Click the link to download the installation archive appropriate to your hardware and OS. |
|
Warning |
A 64-bit UNIX Engine cannot run 32-bit native Services, such as C++ or Java with JNI. |
| 3. | Unpack the archive to the directory of your choice. For example, the following extracts the tar file into the directory /usr/local/DSEngine: |
cd /usr/local
gzip -d -c DSEngineLinux.tar.gz | tar xvf –
| 4. | If you are using HTTPS, you might need to copy ssl.pem and ssl.keystore to the root directory, see Configuring SSL. |
| 5. | Run the configure.sh script located in the directory in which you unpacked the archive. |
|
Note |
Running more than one Engine from a shared network mount point is not supported. |
