Cluster installation checklist
Before you establish the Spotfire Statistics Services cluster, confirm that you meet all of the requirements for a successful deployment.
- Verify that a computer meets the Spotfire Statistics Services minimum requirements to use as the first Manager node in your cluster.
- Verify that the port numbers to specify for the Main Service Port and the JMX Monitoring Port during the
Spotfire Statistics Services installation are not being used by other applications on the computer.
Important: Remember that when installing and configuring Spotfire Statistics Services to use a statistical engine, consider the configurations and strategies to restrict access. See Recommendations for safeguarding your environment for detailed information.
- If you use Multicast for messaging, ensure that the combination of the Cluster Multicast Group Address and Cluster Multicast Discovery Port, specified during installation, is unique for each Spotfire Statistics Services cluster in your organization.
- If you use JMS messaging, ensure that the Cluster Messaging Port is not being used by other applications.
- If you plan to use a native Web server as a proxy or load balancer, identify the server name and the port it uses to service requests. You use this information to construct the Service URL during installation.
- Identify an adequate database server for the jobs database. Spotfire Statistics Services includes an H2 database as the default. We recommend at least a gigabit connection and that the database server is within close proximity with Spotfire Statistics Services nodes.
- Ensure that you have the JDBC driver for connecting to the job database server. For more information, see Configuring the JDBC driver.
- Identify the file server to be used for the centralized configuration store. We recommend a modern file server that has a gigabit connection and close proximity between it and the Spotfire Statistics Services nodes.
