IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Documentation
Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
- What's new in IBM® Domino® 10?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful IBM® Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
    - Domino® and networks
      A variety of client systems can use wireless or wired technology to communicate with Domino® servers over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and metropolitan area networks (MANs). For example, Notes® workstations and Domino servers use the Notes remote procedure call (NRPC) protocol running over the LAN's network protocol to communicate with other Domino servers. Other client systems, such as Web browsers, Internet mail clients, wireless application protocol (WAP) devices, and personal information management (PIM) devices, can also communicate with Domino servers.
    - Network security
      Physical network security is beyond the scope of this documentation, but you must set it up before you set up connection security. Physical network security prevents unauthorized users from breaking through the network and using one of the operating system's native services -- for example, file sharing -- to access the server. Physical network security also comes into play when any data is exposed, as the potential exists for malicious or unauthorized users to eavesdrop both on the network where the Domino® system resides and on the system you are using to set up the server.
    - Setting up Domino® servers on the network
      Before and after installing a Domino® server, perform required tasks.
      - Setting up Notes® named networks
        The Domino® Server Setup program automatically places all servers that are in a Domino domain and that run the same network protocol in the same Notes® named network (NNN). In the Server document, the setup program assigns each NNN a default name in the format portname network.
      - Fine-tuning network port setup on a server
        After you install and set up a Domino® server, review the list of network ports that were enabled by the Server Setup program. Unless you customize network settings during setup, Domino enables ports based on the current operating system configuration. To conserve system resources, disable the ports for protocols that you do not need.
      - Server setup tasks specific to TCP/IP
        After you run the Domino® Server Setup program, complete these procedures:
      - Server setup tasks specific to NetBIOS
        After you run the Domino® Server Setup program, complete these procedures:
        Defining a NetBIOS LANA number for a Notes® network port
        To run NetBIOS on a server, after you complete the Server Setup program, you must determine the NetBIOS LANA number to which the Notes® network port will be bound. The NetBIOS LANA number is a logical number that represents a NetBIOS transport protocol stack on a NIC. You must know which transport protocol Notes workstations and other Domino® servers are using for NetBIOS within your workgroup or company.
        Creating additional network ports for NetBIOS
        After you run the IBM® Domino® Server Setup program, you can create network segments for multiple NetBIOS interfaces on the same computer by adding an IBM Notes® network port for NetBIOS for each additional NIC.
  - Configuring users and servers
    Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
  - Editing the NOTES.INI file
    You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
  - Configuring messaging
    This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
  - Configuring iNotes®
    IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
  - Configuring Web servers
    This section describes how to set up the IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
  - Setting up a cluster
    Setting up a cluster includes the tasks of creating and verifying that it is working correctly, and then setting up user access, mail, replications, size quotas, directory assistance, roaming, web navigation, and use of a private LAN in the cluster.
- Securing
  This section describes IBM® Domino® security features, including execution control lists, IDs, and SSL.
- Administering
  This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring IBM Domino® servers and databases.
- Tuning
  Use this information to improve IBM® Domino® server, Domino Web server, and messaging performance through the use of resource balancing and activity trends, Server.Load commands, advanced database properties, cluster statistics, and the Server Health Monitor.
- Troubleshooting
  This section describes how to find and solve problems with IBM® Domino® server and Administrator client.

Creating additional network ports for NetBIOS

After you run the IBM® Domino® Server Setup program, you can create network segments for multiple NetBIOS interfaces on the same computer by adding an IBM® Notes® network port for NetBIOS for each additional NIC.

In addition to adding each port for NetBIOS, do the following:

Associate each Notes® network port for NetBIOS with a specific NetBIOS interface by defining a LANA identifier for each port.
Make sure that all Domino® servers that will access each other have an interface that uses a common transport protocol. It is best if they are also in the same Notes® named network.
Make sure that the network segments to which the server system's NICs are attached do not have a pathway in common. The NetBIOS name service (NetBIOS over IP) can fail if it detects the same system name or Domino® name echoing back between the pathways. If you are using both the NetBIOS name service and DNS or a hosts file for name resolution, make sure that the server name in DNS or the hosts file is different from the system name.
