Installing and upgrading Domino® servers
Perform a new or upgrade install of one or many Domino® servers.
Preparing for installing and setting up Domino® servers
Installing an IBM® Domino® server is the first part of deploying a server. The second part is using the Domino server setup program to configure the server.
Domino® server installation
The first step in deploying a Domino® server is installation, or copying the program files to the system's local drive.
Using Domino® server express install
Express® install is similar to a regular server install except that you have the additional option of launching the server from the last window displayed during express install.

  - Preparing for installing and setting up Domino® servers
    Installing an IBM® Domino® server is the first part of deploying a server. The second part is using the Domino server setup program to configure the server.
    - Entering system commands
      Some of the procedures that follow include instructions for entering commands at the system command prompt.
    - Using the Domino® server with a trial evaluation license
      You can install Domino® with a trial evaluation license or with the traditional production license. There is a production certificate and an evaluation certificate and each has its own install kit. The first time the server is brought up without a production license, a trial license is automatically assigned. The server console displays a message indicating that Domino does not have a production license, and a temporary evaluation license has been created.
    - Domino® server installation
      The first step in deploying a Domino® server is installation, or copying the program files to the system's local drive.
      - Installing Domino® on Windows™
        You can install Domino® on a supported Microsoft™ Windows™ system by following this procedure, or you can perform a silent installation of a local server.
      - Installing Domino® on UNIX™
        This topic guides you through the steps for installing Domino® interactively on a UNIX™ system.
      - Installing Domino® on IBM® i
        Before installing a Domino® server on IBM® i, read the information pertaining to installing a Domino server as well as the sections of the install documentation that pertain only to IBM i.
      - Installing Domino® on Linux™ on System z®
        To install Domino® on a local or remote IBM® System z® Linux™ server, use either an interactive method, or run a script to install silently.
      - Using Domino® server silent install on Windows™ or UNIX™ systems
        Use Domino® silent server installation to install servers without any intervention during the installation process.
      - Installing Domino® server silently on Linux™ on System z®
        Use the following overall procedure ito silently install Domino® on Linux™ on IBM® System z® systems.
      - Using Domino® server express install
        Express® install is similar to a regular server install except that you have the additional option of launching the server from the last window displayed during express install.
    - Disabling concurrent I/O and direct I/O on Domino® servers on AIX®
      Concurrent I/O (CIO) and Direct I/O (DIO) are not supported with Domino® servers. CIO is a file system feature introduced in IBM® AIX® 5.2.0.10, also known as maintenance level 01, in the Enhanced Journaling File system (JFS2). This feature improves performance for relational databases.
    - Domino® server setup program
      The Domino® server setup program guides you through the choices you make to configure a Domino server. Setting up the first Domino server in a domain establishes a framework that consists of the Domino Directory, ID files, and documents. When you set up additional servers, you build upon this framework.
    - Domino® On-Disk Structure
      In this release, Domino® supports file format, on-disk structure (ODS) 51.
    - Setting up DOLS on a Domino® server
      Configure Domino® Off-Line Services (DOLS) to enable users to work on applications offline in a browser. DOLS runs on Domino servers configured to work through a Microsoft™ IIS server.
    - Installing the OpenSocial component
      In addition to the existing (and familiar) IBM® Domino® server installation wizard, in order to supply OpenSocial features from a Domino server, you must run an IBM Domino Social Edition OpenSocial component installer wizard to support IBM Domino Social Edition embedded experiences for your client users.
    - Installing the IBM HTTP server module to support TLS
      IBM HTTP Server (IHS) can now run on the same computer as a Domino server and support Transport Layer Security (TLS)
    - Using the Domino® server setup program
      The following procedures describe the ways you can use the server setup program.
    - Understanding the Domino® server certification log
      The Domino® certification log records server certification and ID information.
    - Domino® server registration
      Before you install and set up additional servers, you must register them. In effect, registering a server adds the server to the system. The server registration process creates a Server document for the server in the Domino® Directory and creates a server ID. After registering and installing a server, you use the server setup program to obtain a copy of the Domino Directory for the new server and to set up the server to run particular services and tasks -- for example, the HTTP service, the Mail Router, and so on.
    - Optional tasks to perform after Domino® server setup
      You can perform addition tasks after server startup.
    - Starting and shutting down the Domino® server
      Start the Domino® server at the server console.
    - Starting Domino® as an application or a Windows™ service
      If you have installed Domino® as a Windows™ service, when you start the Domino server, you are prompted to specify whether to start Domino as an application or a Windows service.
    - Using instant messaging in the Domino® Directory
      The Domino® Directory is enabled for instant messaging, meaning that you can conduct an online chat directly from the Domino Directory.
    - Running the Domino-Portal integration wizard
      Use the Domino-Portal integration (DPI) wizard to configure an IBM® WebSphere® Portal server to work with your Domino-based infrastructure.
  - Uninstalling a Domino® server
    While it is not necessary to uninstall a Domino® server prior to upgrading to a new Domino release, you may want to uninstall a server.
- Installing and upgrading Notes® clients
- Upgrading
  Use this documentation to upgrade the existing Domino® server and subsequently upgrade the Notes® client to a new release. You can also upgrade additional clients such as Domino Administrator and Domino Designer clients and additional features and plug-ins such as the embedded IBM® Sametime® client.

Using Domino® server express install

Express® install is similar to a regular server install except that you have the additional option of launching the server from the last window displayed during express install.

About this task

During express install, you are presented with options similar to standard Domino® server install; however, many of the options are selected for you, resulting in a faster install process.

To run Domino® express install, enter the following command:

setup -express

Note: Run Domino® express server install from the full installation kit. It is not available for installation from a Web kit.
