Installation

Introduction to Installation

The following sections describe how to complete your installation of ScaleOut StateServer. The next section, Requirements and Limitations, lists the requirements for a successful installation and the best practices that ScaleOut Software recommends. The following section, Components, shows the files that make up the ScaleOut StateServer product. The Installation Steps section takes you step-by-step through the completion of your installation, and the final section, Configuration Parameters, explains the configuration parameters in detail.

License Keys

For a single server environment, no license key is required. The software is fully functional without a license key but is restricted to operation on a single server. This will allow you to test ScaleOut StateServer’s basic functionality with your application. To run ScaleOut StateServer on a multi-server farm, please contact ScaleOut Software for a license key.

Installation Package

The ScaleOut StateServer installation package consists of the StateServer service, help files, sample programs, management tools, and the API libraries. You also can optionally install the Remote Client Support package on systems which need client access to the distributed cache. The Remote Client Support package installs only the libraries required for applications to remotely access ScaleOut StateServer running on a networked computer. Both components include all management tools.

[Note] Note

The ScaleOut GeoServer option is automatically installed when you install ScaleOut StateServer. Its functions are enabled by a license key from ScaleOut Software that includes support for this option.

[Note] Note

Installation of the Web management console is described in the section Web Management Console.

By default, ScaleOut StateServer installs into /usr/local/soss.
