How To Install a New Server

 

Using the Scimore Enterprise Manager 

Administrator privileges on windows are required for installing or uninstalling database servers, as servers are installed as Windows system Services. The Database Manager can only be used to install servers on the local machine, so you are required to run the Database Manager on each of the machine you wish to install a server on.

  1. Open the Database Manager with administrator priviledges:
  2. Optionally, you may wish to use the File->Create Server Group menu item to create a new server group.
  3. In the left pane, right-click on the server group in which you will create the new server and select Server Installation Wizard
  4. The wizard will guide you through the database settings of your new server:
    1. Network Properties
      • Unique Server ID: the number of the new server on the current machine. This is used to identify the server in the Windows Services list (eg. "scimoredb-1", "scimoredb-2").
      • IP Address: a valid IP of one of the network interfaces on the local machine.
      • Port number: the TCP port number for the new server to use to recieve connections. Multiple servers on the same machine must use different port numbers. Also, these port numbers cannot be being used by any other server application/
      • Maximum number of connections: the maximum number of simultaneous connections that this server should allow.
    2. Directory Properties
      • Bin Directory: must be the directory in which all of the scimore database executables reside. This is nominally C:\Program Files\Scimore\Scimore Database Server.
      • System Tables Directory: directory in which the system tables for the database will be stored. Each server must have a seperate, dedicated directory for its system tables.
      • Data Directory: directory for the actual data that the server will store. Each server must have a seperate, dedicated directory for its tables.
      • System Log Directory: where to put the database transaction log.
    3. Memory Properties
      • Cache Pool Size: The number of database pages held in memory. This value is changable after the server is installed.
      • Maximum Number of Exclusive Locks: Row-level locks for update/delete and occaisionally insert. This is changable after the server has been installed.
      • System Log Size: The size of the transaction log. This will grow automatically, when required.

Scimore database servers are installed as Windows services. Once you have installed a new server, you may wish to install others (on other machines) and cluster them together.
