Installing or Upgrading LUNA

Installing or Upgrading LUNA

Mar 11, 2015

 

Introduction

With the introduction of LUNA 7.0, a number of additional tools have been introduced. The original LUNA Viewer, the LUNA Library, the LUNA Administrator, the LUNA Collection Manager, the LUNA Uploader and the LUNA Publisher. Insight still works with the LUNA Viewer as it did in previous versions.

LUNA can be installed into any of the supported configurations. Add the necessary database and ensure you have a minimum of 1024MB of free memory, or the recommended 1500MB of free memory, on your server.

For linux / unix installations, LUNA 7 stores many files on the file system. This can lead to a problem if the storage space does not have a sufficient number of inodes for the repository. So when choosing a location for the repository, make sure you are aware of this. A good option is to place the repository where you will also be storing the images/media. (As a reference: For a single linked image 20+ files may be generated)


There are three major components to LUNA: the LUNA Library, LUNA Publisher and LUNA Viewer. Each item requires a database. The databases will only store user generated information and will not store contents of the collections. This means the storage requirements for these databases are fairly small. 100MB should be plenty of space.

  • Create one database that will contain everything for the LUNA Library, LUNA Viewer and the LUNA Publisher
    or

  • Create three databases for the following: The LUNA Library, LUNA Viewer and the LUNA Publisher

 

Running the Installer

The LUNA Suite installer requires a GUI. If you are installing on Linux or Solaris, you will need X Windows to run the installer or another GUI interface.
Start the LUNA installer on your system and follow the prompts described in the following section.

Serial Number

The install requires a Serial Number to continue the installation process.
As a licensed institution, you should have been issued one. If not, contact our support department to obtain a valid licensed Serial Number.lunasupport@lunaimaging.com

LUNA Application Configuration

If this is the first time you install LUNA, then you must choose the first option "Configure LUNA Applications and create database tables".
If this is a subsequent installation and you just want to upgrade or reconfigure the LUNA application without deleting any user generated information, then choose "Upgrade or Reconfigure LUNA (Do not create db tables)".
NOTE: If you are upgrading, Stop Tomcat before running the installer
LUNA Suite Tools are deployed using Java W

AR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_(file_format) files. This option will just configure the WAR file and deploy it.

For Upgrade and Reconfigure Only


Choosing install sets for upgrade
If you have modified your Tomcat version for any reason, you may need to apply those changes again once the install is complete.

Choose Install Set

For the Initial installation, you will generally choose Typical. This will include all system components.

  • LUNA Library

  • LUNA Viewer

  • LUNA Uploader

  • LUNA Administrator

  • LUNA Publisher

  • Tomcat

  • Media Manager

Custom Install

For subsequent installations, you may wish to choose to install a specific component.
You can choose to install any of the following system components.



Install Location

This will be the base of all the LUNA components selected.





For Upgrade or Reconfigure Only

Since you are upgrading, your previous install log can be used to provide the installer with the same choices that you made the last time you installed.


Choose your Install log. This should be located in the root directory of where you installed LUNA. The name should be something like LUNA_Server_Suite_7.x_installLog.log. 



Since you are upgrading, you will now be asked how to connect to your database. Once connected, the installer will read some of your Application Configuration table to assist you in the rest of the upgrade.



 Specifying an Administrative Username and Password for LUNA

LUNA requires you to specify an administrative username and password. This username and password will be used for authentication within the LUNA Administrator and for accessing the Tomcat management consoles. Users with this username and password have access to tools that can manage LUNA collection access and Credentials and modify LUNA's configuration, so be careful who it is shared with. NOTE: This password is not encrypted until first login. Do not use your network or system administrator password.
