Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Installing a node manager (silently on Windows)

You can install a node manager silently on Windows by running the installer from the command prompt.

About this task

Note: We strongly advise that you install each Spotfire node manager on a separate computer (physical computer, virtual machine or container).

Before you begin

  • Spotfire Server is installed and running.
  • You have read/write access to the host computer.
  • In the firewall of the computer on which you are installing the node manager, open the ports that will be used for the node manager and the service instances. The default ports are listed in the Installation parameters table under Node manager installation.

Procedure

  1. Open a command line as an administrator.
  2. Replace the default parameter entries in the following script example with your actual values: 
    nm-setup.exe INSTALLDIR="<node manager installation dir>" NODEMANAGER_REGISTRATION_PORT=9080 NODEMANAGER_COMMUNICATION_PORT=9443 SERVER_NAME=SpotfireServerName SERVER_BACKEND_REGISTRATION_PORT=9080 SERVER_BACKEND_COMMUNICATION_PORT=9443 NODEMANAGER_HOST_NAMES=NodeManagerHostNames NODEMANAGER_HOST=NodeManagerHost -silent -log "C:\Users\user\Log file.log"
    Note: Include only those parameters whose default values you are changing.
    See the Installation parameters table on Node manager installation for detailed information about the available parameters.
    For more information about ports and how they are used, see Ports and firewall configuration.
  3. Run the installation script.

What to do next

After installation, you must start the new node manager manually; see Starting or stopping a node manager (as a Windows service).
