If you are clustering Sametime® Community Servers
on IBM® AIX®, Linux,
or Microsoft Windows, register the cluster with the Sametime System Console,
so you can manage all of the Sametime servers from a
central location.
Before you begin
Make sure each of these servers is ready for the cluster
registration task:
- Each of the Sametime Community
Servers in the cluster must be registered with the Sametime System Console
(which occurred when you used a deployment plan to install them)
- Each Community Server must be started.
- The Sametime System
Console must be started.
- The LDAP server must be started, and must be connected to the Sametime System Console.
Note: This task is required only if you are using a cluster of Sametime Community Servers.
About this task
Register a Community Server cluster so that the user interface
indicates that a particular server participates in a Community Server
cluster. Registering the Community Server cluster has no impact on
chat functionality, it is strictly for administration user interface
purposes.Procedure
- If you just configured cluster settings for a group of Sametime Community Servers,
restart all of the cluster members now so the cluster goes into effect
before you continue.
- Run the registration utility using the following command:
Attention: Run this utility only once for the cluster;
you can run it from any member of the cluster.
AIX
registerSTCluster.sh
Linux
/your_path/notesdata/console/registerSTCluster.sh
Windows
Domino_program_directory/console/registerSTCluster.bat
- As the registration utility runs, you will be prompted
to enter the following information:
Table 1. Registration
informationField |
Value |
Cluster name |
Type the name you created when you
configured the cluster, and press Enter. |
Location of sametime.ini file |
This is the user name and password
that you use to manage the upgraded Sametime Community Server
from the Community Server Administration Tool. Type the full path
to the directory containing the notes.ini file, and
press Enter. For example, on Windows: C:\Lotus\Domino |
Domino® administrator
user name |
This is the account that you use to
manage the upgraded Sametime Community
Server from the Community Server Administration Tool. Type the Domino administrator's user name,
and press Enter. |
Domino administrator
password |
Type the password associated with the Domino administrator user account,
and press Enter. |
The utility registers the server, generating
a log file called ConsoleUtility.log and storing
it in the console/logs directory.
- Restart the Sametime Community
Server where you ran the registration utility.
- Verify that a server participates in the Community Server
cluster as follows:
- From , the clusterName row displays in the list of Community
Servers. The clusterName row identifies which cluster a particular
Community Server belongs to.
- In the Community Server Guided Activity, Installed/Clustered displays
in the Plan Status.
