14.1 Installing the Lucene Software

  1. Make sure that a supported Java Developer Kit (JDK) is installed on the remote server where you want to install the Lucene Index Server.

    For instructions, see Section A.0, Teaming System Requirements Assistance.

  2. Copy the Lucene Installation program from its original location in the same directory with the Teaming Installation program to a convenient temporary directory on the remote server.

    The filename for the Lucene Installation program varies by platform:

    Linux:

    lucene-installer.linux

    Windows:

    lucene-installer.exe

  3. Change to the directory where you copied the Lucene Installation program, then start it.

  4. Accept the License Agreement, then click Next.

  5. Select New installation, then click Next.

  6. Browse to and select the directory where you want to install the Lucene Index Server, then click Next.

    The default location varies by platform:

    Linux:

    /opt/novell/teaming/luceneserver

    Windows:

    c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\luceneserver

  7. Browse to and select the directory where you installed the JDK, then click Next.

  8. Adjust the configuration of the Lucene Index Server, as described in Section 9.5, Changing Your Lucene Index Server Configuration, then click Next.

  9. Click Install to install the Lucene software.

  10. (Conditional) If you do not want to start the Lucene Index Server immediately, deselect Start Lucene server.

    For instructions for starting and stopping the Lucene Index Server manually, see Section 14.3, Managing a Remote Lucene Index Server.

  11. Click Finish.

Moving the Lucene Index Server from the Teaming server to a remote server increases the scalability of your Teaming system because the workload is distributed between two different physical servers. However, in this configuration, the Lucene Index Server still runs on a single server. Your Teaming site depends on the Lucene Index Server for full functionality. If that server goes down for some reason, the Teaming site becomes inaccessible until access to the Lucene Index Server is restored. You can further expand your Teaming system by setting up multiple Lucene Index Servers to provide high availability, as described in Section 16.0, Running Multiple Lucene Index Servers.
