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 map, query, permissions & 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.
