2 Install scenarios
As the same script is used for multiple purposes, this section describes different scenarios and what parameters to be specially aware of.
2.1 Installation
To install a new Digizuite DAM Center with UNC storage, the important parameters are the following
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NewInstallation | $True | This has to be true on new installations, as otherwise databases wont be created |
| PrestagedDatabases | $True/$False | If databases and users has not been pre staged (created), then set this to $False, $True otherwise. This is for installing without sysadmin rights |
| Azure parameters | Leave them blank, if UNC storage is used |
2.2 Upgrade
To upgrade Digizuite DAM Center, the following parameters are important
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NewInstallation | $True | This has to be true on new installations, as otherwise databases wont be created |
| PrestagedDatabases | $True/$False | What happens if it is false, is the databases and the user mapping is checked and corrected (if wrong), but that requires sysadmin rights on the SQL server |
2.3 Local UNC
To use a Local UNC (Local means it is located on the web server), the following parameters are important:
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| localStoragePath | Local storage path | Has to point to the local storage path (e.g. C:\Storage) |
| uncStoragePath | UNC storage path | Has to point to the local share (\\Webserver\Storage) |
2.4 External UNC
To use an external UNC (External means that storage is not located on the web server), the following parameters are important
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| localStoragePath | C:\Storage | Leave it as: C:\Storage |
| uncStoragePath | UNC storage path | Has to point to the external share (\\SomeExternalServer\Storage) |
2. 5 Azure storage (New install)
To use Azure storage, the following parameters are important
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| localStoragePath | Local storage path | If provided, it configures up a local storage, that can be enabled in the future |
| uncStoragePath | UNC storage path | if provided, it configures a local unc share, that can be enabled in the future |
| azureStorageAccountBe | Has to be a Microsoft Azure storage account name | |
| azureAccessKeyBe | Accesskey of the above | |
| azureStorageAccountFe | Has to be another Microsoft Azure Storage account name | |
| azureAccessKeyFe | Accesskey of the above |
The reason there are two storage account, is because frontend (used by satelite products, for instance DAM For Sitecore) and backend (used by the administration web interface) storage is seperated.
2.6 Azure storage (Upgrade)
The same parameters as the new install are important, but the difference is, that the azure storage account and accesskeys has to correspond to what is already configured in the existing system.
2.6 Solr (New install)
To install Solr, the Solr paramters are important.
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| installSolr | $True | Indicates that Solr should be installed |
The rest of the parameters should be filled out according to the description
2.7 Solr (Upgrade)
If Digizuite DAM Center is upgraded and Solr is already installed and configured, fill out the Solr parameters according to what is already configured.
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| installSolr | $False | Indicates that Solr should be installed |
