This topic provides at-a-glance summary of high-level tasks
required to deploy a data domain cluster hosted in the Endeca Server cluster.
The creation of an Endeca data
domain hosted in the Endeca Server cluster assumes two administrative roles:
- An administrator who will
be installing and deploying the Endeca Server software on a homogenous set of
hardware nodes, and setting up the Endeca Server cluster.
- An administrator who will
be creating an Endeca data domain on an already deployed Endeca Server cluster,
utilizing the data domain profiles provided by the Endeca Server cluster
administrator.
The following procedure describes the overall process end-to-end, with
the assumption that various parts of this process are performed by different
administrative roles: Steps 1 - 3 are performed by the administrator
responsible for the Endeca Server cluster deployment and management; steps 4 -
5 are performed by the administrator responsible for the creation of data
domains hosted in an already provisioned Endeca Server cluster.
To build an Endeca
Server cluster:
-
Install the Endeca Server software on a set of hardware nodes, and
deploy an Endeca Server cluster. For information, see the
Endeca Server Installation Guide.
-
Configure the node profile for the Endeca Server nodes. For
information, see the section
Managing the Endeca Server Cluster
in this guide.
After you set up the node profile, its characteristics will be
used by all nodes in the Endeca Server cluster.
-
Configure one or more data domain profiles. For information, see
the section
Managing Data Domain Profiles
in this guide.
The data domain profiles you create will be available to the
administrator responsible for the data domain cluster configuration — for each
new data domain, one of these data domain profiles will be used.
-
Add a new data domain. For information, see the section
Managing Data Domains.
-
Perform various tasks in the data domain, including loading data
into it. For information, see the section
Managing Data Domains.
