WebScale™
instructions, please refer to the Installation section.
Before installing WebScale, be sure to read the section System Requirements.
Have the following items ready:
The websNNN.exe file that contains the WebScale distribution. This file can be
obtained from Intergraph Computer Systems, Inc. The NNN encodes the version
number of the distribution; for example, webs10b.exe is the Beta release of
WebScale.
The cluster's full Internet name that you plan to use, such as, cluster.your-
company.com.
The IP address that you plan to use for the cluster. This cluster IP address will be
used on all hosts in the cluster.
The current IP address for each host in the cluster. This dedicated IP address is
unique to each host and is used for network traffic other than that to be serviced
by the cluster as a whole, such as, telnet sessions with individual hosts.
(Optional) A license key from Intergraph Computer Systems. If you are
installing WebScale for evaluation purposes, no license key is needed.
(Optional) A second network adapter card to handle the cluster's network traffic.
You can use your existing adapter cards to run WebScale; please see the section
Single Network Interface Card Limitations. The second adapter is called
cluster adapter, and the host's original adapter card is called the dedicated
adapter. If you have a single adapter card, it will serve both purposes.
To install and configure WebScale, please follow these steps for each host to be used in
your WebScale cluster:
æ
If you are using a router to send network traffic directly to the cluster, be sure that
the router has its "proxy ARP" functionality enabled. See System
Requirements for details.
æ
If you are using multiple adapter cards, install the second network adapter card.
æ
Unpack the WebScale distribution by running websNNN.exe.
æ
Start the Windows NT Network setup dialog.
æ
Install WebScale as a new adapter; use the WebScale distribution files when
prompted for a disk. This will install two networking objects, a WebScale Virtual
NIC adapter and a WebScale Driver protocol.
When installation completes, the WebScale Setup dialog will automatically start.
(You can also run this dialog by highlighting the WebScale Virtual NIC adapter and
clicking on the Properties button.)
