As of version 1.3.0.3, GlobalSync does not install MongoDB if it is not available in the environment. Prior to installing GlobalSync, ensure a current version of MongoDB is deploy. The easiest way to do this is by installing GlobalServer BEFORE you install GlobalSync. |
Install Steps
- From your installation media, navigate to the Globalsync directory, right-click on setup.exeand select Run as Administrator. Note that this installation may require a server reboot.
- Click Next to start the GlobalSync installation process using the Installation Wizard.
- Accept the license agreement and click Next.
- In the GlobalSync Configuration dialog box, enter your Amazon S3 Access Key ID into the AWS Public Key field.
- Enter your Amazon Secret Access Key into the AWS Secret Key field.
- Enter the Bucket name that you configured for GlobalSync in the Bucket field.
- If necessary, change the desired drive letter from the default S drive to an available local drive letter on the server, then click Next.
- Select a local drive on the server for the cache location. Use the default location or click Change and update the cache path.
- Optionally, configure the Cache Buffer size. This value represents the minimum amount of cache free space before files will be swept from the cache. We do not recommend modifying this setting unless you are an expert user, or are directed to do so by support.
- Cache Size represents the total size of the local cache on the server machine. This is the maximum amount of disk space on the server the cache will consume. We do not recommend modifying this setting unless you are an expert user, or are directed to do so by support.
- The installer can optionally install MongoDB, but if the GlobalSync server is installed to a server with GlobalSearch present, Mongo will already exist. Clicking Next will prompt to use the existing Instance. You do not need to make any changes here. Just clicking Next will detect the existing mongo installation.
- Click Install and the application will deploy to the server. A new Windows Service named S9GlobalSync will be installed and started. This service must remain running to maintain access to the cloud drive.
