Setting up a Spectrum Spatial Analyst Cluster

To set up a cluster, you need to install the (two or more) Spectrum Spatial Analyst servers one at a time. Each time you add a Spectrum Spatial Analyst server, you have to update the nodes to use the customer configuration file share.

Requirements:

  • All servers that host Spectrum Spatial Analyst must have their system clocks synchronized in order for the cluster to function. Verify that all systems point to the same time service to synchronize their clocks.
  • All Spectrum Spatial Analyst servers in a cluster must be of the same version, so be sure that the version you install is the same as the existing servers.

Installing Spectrum Spatial Analyst

If you haven't already installed, the first thing to do is to download and install latest Spectrum Spatial Analyst. For instructions, refer to the Installing Spectrum Spatial Analyst through Wizard.

File share setup for customer configuration

You need to configure Spectrum Spatial Analyst to use a common configuration. This ensures that configurations settings are managed across cluster. You need to copy the customer configuration directory customerconfigurations under the Spectrum Spatial Analyst installation directory to a central file share.

Note: Ensure that the user account running Spectrum Spatial Analyst should have read/write access to configuration directory in file share.
