Configuring partitioned Domino servers to avoid IP conflicts
If you install multiple IBM® Sametime® Community Servers on a single computer, you must assign a distinct IP address to each server. On AIX® or Linux™, you can install multiple Sametime Community Servers on a single computer, within the same logical partition. Each Sametime Community Server instance runs on a separate partitioned IBM Domino® server. If you are also running any other Domino servers or HTTP servers within the same logical partition, you must also be certain that those servers are assigned separate IP addresses to avoid port conflicts. After installing a community server in a Domino partitioned-server environment, configure the partitioned servers to avoid IP conflicts.
About this task
Note: Do not install multiple Sametime Community servers
on a Microsoft™ Windows™ server as that configuration is not
supported.
If your computer hosts multiple community servers
(a "multi-homed" configuration), you must define settings to ensure
that the IP addresses for each community server do not conflict.Procedure
- If your server has multiple IP addresses but they do not
all translate to single DNS names, configure the community server
to indicate which IP addresses to trust.
-
Specify the VPS_HOST setting in the sametime.ini file on each AIX or Linux
Domino partitioned server so that an IP address can be
assigned to each Sametime Community Server. This applies
to all Domino partitioned servers on AIX or Linux.
- If you entered a DNS name as the host name address for
client connections and HTTP-tunneled client connections, you must
specify a dotted-decimal IPv4 address that the fully qualified domain
name resolves to.
- Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console.
- Click .
- In the Sametime community servers list, click the deployment name of the server with the list of trusted IP addresses that you want to change.
- Click the Connectivity tab.
- In the Community Services Network section in Client Connections, specify the IPv4 server address as the host name.
- For HTTP Tunneled Client Connections, specify the IPv4 server address as the host name.
- Click OK.
- Restart the Sametime Community Server.
