Administering a Sametime System Console
This section describes how to manage the IBM® Sametime® System Console.
- Starting the Sametime System Console so you can administer servers
Start the IBM Sametime System Console as a service on Microsoft Windows or using the start commands on IBM AIX®, Linux, or IBM i. - Backing up the console database
The IBM Sametime System Console database stores information about all the Sametime servers that are connected to it. - Updating Installation Manager to match System Console or deployment manager credentials
When you installed an IBM Sametime server using IBM Installation Manager, the Sametime System Console’s WebSphere® administrator credentials were stored in Installation Manager for future use during server upgrades. If you later changed the password on the System Console, you must update the password stored in each Sametime server’s copy of Installation Manager before attempting to upgrade. This task also applies to clusters: if a node’s WebSphere administrator credentials do not match those stored on the cluster's deployment manager, you must update the node’s copy of Installation Manager to match the deployment manager before attempting an upgrade.
