I'm confused how to start my initial BOE 4.1 SP4 install.
This is a brand new install.
I have two empty databases on a a MS SQLserver (one for CMS, one for Audit).
These are Windows 2008 R2 servers.


I will be having a cluster where:
Server1 Web Tier
Server2 CMS and FRS related services
Server3 Second CMS and FRS related services
Server4 Crystal related job server services
Server5 Second Crystal related job server services
Server6 WebI related job server services

My question is how do I get my initial CMS database created?
I can't just do a Web Tier install on Server1 because it will be looking for an existing CMS.
I don't want to do a full install on Server2 because I won't be running the Web Tier components from there.
Do I perform a full install on Server1 and then disable the non-Web Tier components afterward?

It's been a while since I've done a brand new install with the intention of clustering.

Thanks.

Thanks for the two links.  I was looking at the "Configuring and installing BI platform on server 1" eariler today.  I still am not sure if it answers my question.  I'll look at it again and see.  I just now glanced at the "System landsacpe overview..." link and I haven't seen it before.  It looks pretty good and I'll be checking it out more in depth.

Thanks.
