Sametime Bandwidth Manager on Linux or Windows

The IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager is not managed by the Sametime System Console, so you do not use the console to create a deployment plan before installation. Instead, the Bandwidth Manager uses its own installation program, which can install it on a server shared with other applications or on a separate computer. You can install a single instance of the Bandwidth Manager or a clustered deployment that includes a deployment manager and up to two instances of the Bandwidth Manager.

About this task

To ensure proper deployment of the Sametime Bandwidth Manager, follow the instructions in these tasks in the sequence shown here. Use this method to install a single, stand-alone Bandwidth Manager that you will never need to add to a cluster.

Note: If you choose the stand-alone option, you will not be able to change your mind and add the server to a cluster later. If you think you may ever need to install in a cluster, you should create a cluster now. For information on a clustered deployment, see Clustering Sametime Bandwidth Managers.
  1. Deleting the jdbc/bwm data source on the Bandwidth Manager
    The jdbc/bwm data source is automatically created during installation of the IBM Sametime Bandwidth Manager. If you have uninstalled Bandwidth Manager and are reinstalling it, delete the jdbc/bwm data source before reinstalling Bandwidth Manager.
  2. Creating a database for the Sametime Bandwidth Manager
    Create a DB2® database to store information for the IBM Sametime Bandwidth Manager.
  3. Installing the Sametime Bandwidth Manager
    Install a single, stand-alone IBM Sametime Bandwidth Manager and connect to the bandwidth management database and the LDAP directory.
  4. Verifying the SIP Proxy/Registrar virtual host used by the Bandwidth Manager
    Verify that the correct virtual host settings are used by the IBM Sametime Media Manager's SIP Proxy/Registrar before you configure the IBM Sametime Bandwidth Manager to use that server.
  5. Setting up routing from the SIP Proxy/Registrar to the Bandwidth Manager
    To ensure that the IBM Sametime SIP Proxy/Registrar correctly routes communications to the Sametime Bandwidth Manager, create routing rules. You can use this procedure to create a nonsecure or a secure environment.
  6. Setting up the outbound proxy on the Video Manager
    Setting up the outbound proxy on the Video Manager redirects all SIP INVITE messages to the Video MCU through the SIP Proxy/Registrar.
  7. Configuring the Sametime Bandwidth Manager to use the SIP Proxy/Registrar Server
    Configure IBM Sametime Bandwidth Manager to use the Sametime Media Manager's SIP Proxy/Registrar.
  8. Verifying access to the LDAP server
    Verify that the IBM WebSphere® Application Server administrator can access the LDAP server used by IBM Sametime Bandwidth Manager.
  9. Setting HTTP URI to point to a secure port
    Use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure the IBM Sametime Bandwidth Manger. Specify the SIP URI for TLS. Assign a secure port to the HTTP URI for the Sametime Bandwidth Manager.
