This table shows the tasks you must complete, before you start
installing your farm on multiple machines:
Completed | Task |
---|---|
❑ | Verify that the services on all machines use the same version. |
❑ | To rollout the software to multiple machines or servers, you can use your local provisioning software from 3rd party vendors to patch multiple servers. |
❑ | Ensure that all certificates are trusted on all machines of the farm. |
❑ | For optimal machine distribution and sizing aspects, see Hardware and Software Recommendations. |
❑ | Install the required relational database providers on all machines where you plan to install services that require relational database access: OLAP Service Worker, OLAP cluster node, Application Studio Service Worker, Modeling Service Worker, Financial Applications Service Worker, Consolidation Service Worker, and Application Engine Service Worker. |

If your business data source is not an SQL relational database, ensure that the relational providers which you will define as data connections are installed on all machines of the farm. |
