If you are installing a new IBM®
Domino® server, use these general directions to remind
you of the steps for installing Domino. This procedure
assumes that you have a working knowledge of Domino
administration. Domino must use a 32-bit version when
installing on AIX® or x86 Linux™, even if you are installing on a 64-bit version operating system. Only the zSeries®
Linux 64-bit version supports and requires a 64-bit version
of Domino.
Before you begin
If you are adding a server to an existing Domino domain, you need to register the
server before you can install IBM Domino. The registration process creates
a Server document in the Domino directory.
Specify
the following settings during registration:
- Store the server ID file that is created during registration somewhere
on the system where you will configure the Sametime® server. Record
the path name; you need to specify it when you configure the Sametime server.
- Use the same network name as the first Domino server in the Domino domain.
Procedure
The Domino installation program for AIX and Linux use scripts
that need configuration information to install the software in the appropriate
directories.
- Find the
software packages you need to download.
- Download
the packages.
- Extract all downloaded packages.
- Complete these preparations:
- Ensure that /bin/hostname returns the fully
qualified domain name for this system.
- Ensure that the fully qualified domain name resolves to the IP
address of the system and not to localhost. Depending on how domain
names are resolved, taking this step may require changes to the DNS,
changes to the /etc/hosts file, or some other
configuration step.
- Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the packages
and start the installation script using the following command:
- Follow the directions on each window of the script, making
a note of the location you choose for the Domino executable directory
and the Domino data
directory. You need this information when you install the community
server.
To install Domino on partitioned
servers:
- When prompted to install more than one Domino server on this
computer, click Yes.
- When prompted for the location of the data directory
and the Notes® user
account, be sure to specify a unique location for the data directory
and the appropriate user name for each partitioned server.
What to do next
Start and stop the Domino server at least
once before installing the Sametime Community Server.
This action creates certain files that Sametime needs to install
correctly.
