Using Web Search in a Clustered Environment

based information that is separate from the purpose and intent of the PDF files
and they belong to the company's sales department. So you decide to create a
separate index for the sales department.
After working in Web Search Manager, you have created two search sites and
compiled several indexes. You also take a few minutes to set up an update
schedule by which Web Search will automatically generate the indexes in
order to keep them up to date with new information added by both companies
to their Web sites.
After the search sites have been defined, the indexes have been generated, and
the ISPs have added the search forms, customers begin to search each site.
After entering a few keywords, customers click the search button. Behind the
scenes, the keywords are passed across the Internet to your server where
NetWare Web Search Server is installed.
Web Search matches the keywords to keywords found in the indexes you
created. Web Search returns a newly populated template, designed to match
the look of each of the client Web sites, with an ordered list of hits that are
dynamically linked back to the actual data and files that were indexed and that
are hosted on the ISPs' servers.
The ISPs are happy about the relief to their server's system resources because
the search processes were handled by Web Search on your server. Digital
Airlines and StudioBrand are pleased because more customers are finding
what they need faster and are happier customers. And you are happy because
you have created residual income by providing a valuable service to your
customers.
NetWare Web Search Server can be installed in a cluster-safe, active-passive
failover environment.
To install Web Search into a clustered environment, you must do the
following:
Install Web Search to your SAN storage device (or any other mountable,
shared devices) through each server in your cluster. This is so that the
Enteprise Web Server running on each server in your cluster will get
configured to work properly with Web Search. Regardless of how you do
it, all servers in the cluster must have Web Search installed on them.
