It is important that you do not rename the inserver directory while it is running or after your configuration, and never install Perceptive Content in the root file system of the Linux server. The root file system does not have the capacity to accommodate Perceptive Content.
Before beginning the installation process, decide if you are going to install and configure Perceptive Content Server in a stand-alone server environment, or in an active-active server environment. A standalone server environment requires a second server for failover protection and optional data backups. An active-active server environment requires more than one server in order to run multiple instances of Perceptive Content Server for data redundancy.
