Verifying system start up for a multiserver installation environment

After you complete the installation process and configure the components on multiple servers, you can start Unica Discover.

About this task

A multiserver installation results in a deployment environment in which Discover services are installed on different servers.

To verify the system startup of a multiserver Discover installation environment:

Procedure

  1. Start the Processing Server(s).

    Login to each machine, and start all Discover services.

    If a Processing Server is a Manage Services slave server, you may see event log messages warning that the slave server is unable to connect to the Manage Services master. These can be ignored for the moment.

  2. Start the Manage Services Master.

    Login to the machine, and start all Discover services. The Manage Services master performs some initial configuration after the first startup.

  3. Start all remaining servers.

    Login to the machine, and start all Discover services.

    Wait until all Discover services have started and the window that lists the services closes.

  4. Open a browser and navigate to the following URL:
    http://localhost/portal

    The Discover Portal login screen is displayed.

  5. Login using the administrator account information provided to you by Discover.

    The Portal Administration page is displayed.

Results

You have successfully logged into the Portal, which means that the core web application is operational.

What to do next

Start the Unica Discover Network Capture Application.

When the DNCA has been started, you can verify that session data is being captured and processed through the Pipeline Status utility in the Discover Management System.
