IBM Lotus Sametime 8.5.1 Media Manager requires

IBM Lotus Sametime 8.5.1 Prerequisites (continued)

Software requirements

Client Windows XP (SP2), Vista and Windows 7 32 and 64 bit (Sametime Connect 8.5.1 or Notes 8.5.1 / 8.5.2 upgrade) Server Windows Server 2003/2008 - 32 and 64 bit (Do not use the R2 Version) Linux (RHEL, SLES) - 32 and 64 bit AIX 5.3/6.1 i5/OS 5.4, 6.1 Solaris 10 ESX 4.0 is now supported Browsers Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x, 7.x, 8.0 (Windows) Firefox 2.x and 3.x (Windows, Mac, Linux) Safari 3.2 and 4.0.x (Mac) Other Domino 8.0 /8.5/8.5.1/8.5.2 for Community Server / 'Classic' meetings Websphere Application Server 7 for new servers and gateway (included) DB2 9.5 FP1 for new servers and gateway (included)

Other requirements

Make sure that all servers you want to use can be resolved in DNS. If DNS is not available then list all full qualified server names and IP addresses from all servers in the hosts file and publish this file to all servers. The machine hosting the Media Server does not work with a DNS alias. You must configure the full qualified host name (including domain part) and use this for the installation. If you use Windows 2008 as Operating System, then you need to start all installations and configurations in Administrative mode. You need a LDAP Server hosting your user base. This can be a Domino LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory or any other supported V3 LDAP.

Required files for a deployment on Windows

For a Windows installation you need to download these files from Passport Advantage: CZLF6ML.zip CZIH7ML.zip CZIG0ML.zip CZIG9ML.zip CZIG3ML.zip CZIH5ML.zip CZII3ML.zip DB2 9.5 FP1 Limited Use for Sametime Sametime System Console Sametime Community Server Standard Sametime Proxy Server Sametime Meeting Server Sametime Media Manager Sametime Connect Client Standard

Create a directory, for example C:\Install, on the servers where you want to install. Then unpack the downloaded files into this directory. Just unpack the files required for your deployment architecture on the particular server.

Different ways to a pilot deployment

The Sametime Install Guide (recommended small pilot deployment) describes to distribute the Domino and WebSphere based services on different servers. You can also install all components on separate servers. This is more for production environments or bigger pilots. You can use any mix between these two previous methods. In this example we will install on 3 servers:

Server1:

DB2 Server, Sametime System Console, Sametime Meeting Server Server2: Sametime Community Server Server3: Sametime Media Manager An existing LDAP Server (we use AD in this example)

Our reasons for this scenario:

No need for special IP configuration Works well with 32Bit OS using up to 4GB RAM Easiest and fastest way to have all components up and running with the smallest number of required boxes This script works well for all ways.

IBM Lotus Sametime 8.5.1 Our pilot recommendation

Compared with the first version (last year's session) of this document installing Sametime 8.5, we have now changed our recommendation for a pilot deployment. The reason for the change is the increased experience and many successful installations using this method in the last 6 months.

STEP ONE: Setup an LDAP Server

Summary

This step installs or identifies the LDAP server containing the User directory you want to use for your Sametime implementation.

The LDAP Server

In most environments a LDAP server is already present. If you use Domino it is simple to just enable LDAP on one of the Domino Directory Servers. If you use an existing LDAP Server other then Domino, it is important to use a V3 compliant LDAP. Make sure you have all relevant data from the LDAP system. (use ldapsearch, Apache LDAP studio or another LDAP browser to get the relevant LDAP information - an LDIF extract of a user and a group) A security related recommendation is to have a Bind DN. This means a user record in the LDAP that can be used for authenticated access to the data in the LDAP server. We use the LDAP Bind user in this example. The LDAP connection can be configured with SSL encryption. Make sure that your have access to the required certificate.

In this example we use an existing Microsoft Active Directory 2003 server. If you plan to use other LDAP servers then step 6 can be different, dependent on the used LDAP directory. See the Sametime InfoCenter for more details.

An example for the LDAPSEARCH command to an Active Directory and the results:

STEP TWO: Install the IBM DB2 Server Summary This step installs the IBM DB2 9.5 Server.

We like to use a CMD command line window to enter some of the commands and start the installers. For that we have created a short cut in our fast start section. You can use the Windows Explorer as well to navigate to the destination directory and double click the installation file (lanuchpad.exe) The two steps to create a DB2 database need the database name as a command line parameter. We would recommend using a CMD command line window to enter this commands.

Enter the command cd \Install\SametimeDB2 and press the Enter key.

Enter the command Launchpad and press the Enter key.

Just click the Install IBM DB2 link.

And again click the Install IBM DB2 link.

The Installation Manager is starting up

Click the Next button to continue.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button to continue

Remove Program Files\ and click the Next button to continue

We recommend to use path names without spaces (as some scripts may require this) and also shorten the path name so that the typical limits of some operating systems and appliacations for path + file name length are avoided.

Click the Install button to install the Installation Manager.

The installation Manager is now installing

Click the Restart Installation Manager button to continue.

Installation Manager is re-launching. Now click the Install icon to continue.

Select DB2 Version 9.5.0.0 and click the Next button to continue.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button to continue.

Remove Program Files\ and click the Next button to continue.

We recommend to use path names without spaces (as some scripts may require this) and also shorten the path name so that the typical limits of some operating systems and appliacations for path + file name length are avoided.

Again remove Program Files\ and click the Next button to continue.

Click the Next button to continue.

Enter the DB2 Administrator Username (we use the default db2admin) and enter the DB2 Administrator Password twice. Then click the Next button to continue

If you use Windows 2008, be sure to enter a password that meets the password policy. The DB2 Admin User password should not be longer then 8 characters. Change the local security policy to allow passwords with 8 characters length. This db2admin user will be created as a local user or as a Active Directory User. This can not be done if the user already exists. Same with the 2 groups that the DB2 Installer adds.

Click the Install button to install the DB2 Server

The Installation Manager installs the IBM DB2 Server now. This step takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Important to know...
Your DB2 Database Server is a sensitive component in your Sametime Environment. It stores all the predefined configuration data and holds the information how to communicate with your servers for administration and maintenance. We highly recommend to make regularly a backup of your DB2 database using a DB2 aware backup software, or export data and backup the exported data. It is possible to implement your DB2 Server for high availability and load balancing using DB2 methods. For more information check into the DB2 InfoCenter, or download and read the RedBook High Availability and Disaster Recovery Options for DB2 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows

When the installation has finished successfully, click the Finish button and then close the Installation Manager and the Launchpad.

STEP THREE: Create a DB2 Database for the Sametime System Console Summary

This step creates the Sametime System Console Database on the DB2 Server. If you want to use a dedicated DB2 server or if you already have a DB2 9.5 Server environment available, you can find the Database creation scripts in the DB2 installation package or in the particular installer directory of the Sametime System Console and the Sametime Meeting Server. Use the existing CMD command line or open a new one.

Enter the command cd c:\install\SametimeDB2.

Enter the command createSCDb.bat STSC.

The name of the database should not be the name of the Sametime System Console Server. If your SSC is named stsc.renovations.com then you can not name the database STSC. Then you need to use another name for example STSCDB. In this example we use meeting.renovations.com. So we dont have any issue with the Database Name STSC.

The DB2 database is now created and confgured. Be sure that you see The SQL command completed successfully. response after every command.

If you don't see this responses or get an error message, be sure that your DB2 server is up and running (listening on Port 50.000 or 50.001) and you are authenticated with the correct user and password.

STEP FOUR: Install the IBM Lotus Sametime System Console Server

Summary
This step installs the Sametime System Console Server.

Navigate to the C:\Install\SametimeSystemConsole directory and enter the command Launchpad

The Sametime 8.5.1 Launchpad opens. Click the Install IBM Lotus Sametime System Console link on the left side.

Now click the link Launch IBM Lotus Sametime System Console 8.5.1 Installation

The Installation Manager is now loading.

Click the Install icon to start the installation.

Select IBM Sametime System Console server and Version 8.5.1. Then click the Next button to continue.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button to continue.

Enter the correct path (remove Program Files\ and click the Next button to continue.

The Package group is the installation destination for the IBM Lotus WebSphere base files. The first installation requires the creation of a new package group. If you install more WebSphere based applications on the same hardware (like the Sametime Proxy Server and the Sametime Meeting Server) they can use the existing package group. Then you cannot change the installation path.

Click the Next button to continue.

In this screen you define the WebSphere Application Server administrative user. You need to authenticate with this user to access the Sametime System Console. It is important that this user does not exist in your LDAP. In this example we use the standard wasadmin. Enter the password twice and click the Next button to continue.

Enter the host name of your DB2 server and the DB2 Administrator password. In this example we have installed the DB2 server on the meeting.renovations.com server. Then click the Validate button to continue.

If the DB2 connection was successful, then you should see that the text in the button has changed to Validated. Now click the Next button to continue.

Click the Install button to install the Sametime System Console Server.

The Installation Manager now installs the Sametime System Console. This step can take approximately 30 to 45 Minutes.

Important to know...
If you plan to use the IBM Lotus Sametime System Console, you should install this part first. But it is possible to add an already installed Sametime Server to the System Console for managing and administration. This can be done with every new Sametime component. By the way, if you lose your already installed System Console server, you can revert it back by installing a new one and add the already installed Sametime components to it using post install registration utilities.Can be found in <product install root>/console directory) Be sure to make a backup of all related data and files (DB2 and WebSphere) because it is much faster to restore a backup if a failure occurs. You will see that it is worth to learn about the Sametime System Console and use it very soon!

The Sametime System Console server has installed successfully. Click the Finish button and close the Installation Manager and the Launchpad.

STEP FIVE: Log in to the IBM Lotus Sametime System Console Server

Summary
Start your preferred Browser, enter the System Console URL and log in.
In this example we use the Internet Explorer.

Enter the URL http://meeting.renovations.com:8700/ibm/console.

The WebSphere Application Server Administrative interface (the Integrated Solutions Console ISC) is always secured by SSL. Therefore you will be redirected to HTTPS and the port 8701 automatically. You are prompted to accept the default certificate. For different browsers the procedure to accept this IBM signed certificate is different. You can use the direct URL: https://meeting.renovations.com:8701/ibm/console.

The IBM signed certificate is not trusted by the browser. Click the Yes button to accept the certificate. (this dialog is different using other browsers)

Enter the WebSphere Application Server Administrative User name and its password. We use wasadmin. Then click the Log in button to continue.

You have now reached the IBM Lotus Sametime System Console.

Next step is to configure the LDAP connectivity.

STEP SIX: Configure the Connect to LDAP Server Prerequisite.

Summary
In this step you configure the LDAP connectivity in the Sametime System Console. This is used for the Sametime Community Server installation as well as in the Sametime Meeting Server and Media Manager installation. You can change this LDAP connectivity later. But this will not apply to any Deployment Plan or to any already installed server. Any changes needs to be done in the servers configuration directly. (Community, Meeting, Media) This is only for the first installation of the servers before creating the Deployment Plan. Click the S a m e tim e S y s te m C o n s o le link.

Now click the Sametime Prerequisites link.

Next click the Connect to LDAP Servers link.

On any Sametime System Console Screen you can find additional information on the middle part of the page. There are Links to the official Sametime InfoCenter for the particular step you want to do next.

To connect to an LDAP server click the Add button to continue.

Configure the LDAP connectivity information on this screen.

- The Deployment Name can be anything describing this LDAP connection. - The Host name should be the Full Qualified Host name. The Port depends on the LDAP. - An MS AD LDAP Server normally uses the Port 3268. Other LDAP Systems use the Port 389. - Do not use the secure connection unless you have imported the certificate from the LDAP server. - The Bind Distinguished Name should be the full qualified Distinguished Name (DN) of the Bind user. - Be sure to enable the checkbox Is used by the System Console. This is required that you can assign users and groups to policies later on.

Click the Next button to continue.

The system now connects to the LDAP server, authenticates and requests the LDAP parameters. It detects the possible Base DN's and the Directory type. Select the right Base DN on this screen. Check the Configure advanced LDAP settings checkbox to see more LDAP parameters. Click the Next button to continue.

If you use Domino LDAP then this step is a little different.

Note: A drop-down list typically displays from which you select a base DN that is detected by the guided activity; however, the list does not display when Domino LDAP is being used. Additionally, Domino LDAP is the only LDAP that uses a blank base DN, while WebSphere requires a base DN for federating repositories. Since WebSphere does not let you federate an LDAP directory with an empty base DN, it sets the base DN to C=US. The LDAP repositories are listed by base DN after they are federated. Failure to specify a base distinguished name will prevent authenticated users from creating and attending meetings on the Lotus Sametime Meeting Server.

Important to know...
Because WebSphere requires a Base DN, your Sametime Community Server will be configured with a Base DN as well. This is done in the Directory Assistance (DA.NSF) and the LDAP Document in the STCONFIG.NSF database. In some situations (specially if you have multiple directories with different Organizations in your LDAP) it is required to empty this BaseDN field in the DA.NSF and STCONFIG.NSF databases. Specially the BaseDN for Groups has to be removed. I assume you have not created your groups with a /renovations at the end. This is the marker for the O=renovations Base DN. And only then the groups can be found. So remove the Base DN in the Domino based Sametime Community Server is useful in most cases. But for the WebSphere Servers connecting to the Domino LDAP (Sametime System Console, Sametime Meeting Server and Sametime Media Manager) you need to do additional configuration steps if you have multiple directories in your Domino LDAP server. For example if the users in the first directory are registered with the certifier O=renovations and in the second directory with the certifier O=IBM, then you need to add a federated repository in the Integrated Solutions Console, configure the O=IBM setting in both fields and select the same LDAP server repository.

Click the Next button to continue.

The Home Sametime Server field has to be filled only if you have a Sametime Community Cluster or more then one Sametime Community Server in your community.

Click the Next button to continue.

Click the Finish button to save the settings and configure the LDAP connection in the Symetime System Console Server.

The LDAP connection is now successfully created and the Sametime System Console server configured. This is a mayor security configuration change that requires a WebSphere server restart.

To restart the server, the easiest way is to restart the Windows Services. Starting with Sametime 8.5.1 the installer installs the required services in the operating system. First open the Services view in the Operating System.

Then set all of the 3 WebSphere services to automatic. Double click the service. In the General tab, near Startup type select Automatic. Then click the Apply button.

When this is done for all 3 services, then you can easily restart the Sametime System Console by restarting the operating system.

Note: During the Sametime 8.5.1 installation, the required server processes are starting automatically. The services are added at the end of the installation. This means just after the installation the IBM WebSphere services are shown as not started, but the tasks are running. If you now try to start the services in the services view, this will fail. You need to restart the operating system once, and then you can start / stop the services in the services dialog.

STEP SEVEN: Run the Guided Activity to configure the IBM Lotus Sametime Community Server installation

Summary
This guided activity takes you through the steps of creating a deployment plan, which collects information that pre-populates installation screens. We suppose you have your own Lotus Domino Server on that you want to install your Sametime Community Server. It is recommended to not implement this server in your existing Lotus Domino domain. Using a separate Domino Domain gives you independency. You can easily configure your server with LDAP authentication and you are version free. Do not install unwanted installation options like DOLS, DECS, RNRMGR or LDAP. But it is important to enable the HTTP task for the next installation step. In this example we have installed a Domino 8.5.2 Server level.

Some slides with my best practices installing a Domino Server hosting a Sametime Community Server.

Be sure that the full qualified host name is listed in both fields (see below). If not, just edit the field.

Important to know...
Configure your Domino Server hosting the Sametime Community Server in a separate Domain. Do not implement this server in your existing Mail Domain.

You are version independent and can use another domino version then in your Mail Domain You are independent in the Directory Design and can use a standard design or a newer design Your Domino Directory is empty it does not contain any users. Makes it easier to implement LDAP Add all your collaboration servers (Sametime and/or QuickR) into this Domain You can use an existing certifier from your production mail domain to register the server ID. Then you don't need cross certification, can access the server from your Admin Client and Notes Client SSO to Sametime works without any additional configuration You can copy an existing SSO LtpaToken Document from your Production Domain to your Collaboration Domain. Add the Sametime Server(s) first and then copy the document.

Be sure that your Domino Server is up and running and the HTTP Task is started.

Start your Browser now and connect to the Sametime System Console. Then login as described in Step 5. Now click on Sametime System Console and then Guided Activities.

Click the Install Sametime Community Server link.

Confirm that Create a New Deployment Plan is checked and click the Next button.

Enter a name for your Community Server Deployment Plan. In this example we just name it Chat Server. Then click the Next button to continue.

We want to install the Product Version 8.5.1. Leave it as it is and just click the Next button.

Enter the Host name of your running Domino Server. The port should only be changed if your Domino HTTP task listens on another port. Enter the Domino Administrators User ID and the password. In this example we use Domino Admin. Click the Next button to continue.

On Windows it is standard to use the local Sametime Server for Slide Conversion. But it is possible that you have a stand alone Slide Conversion server running. Then you can fill this settings. In this example we just click the Next button to continue.

Select the LDAP you want to use for the Sametime Community Server. In this example we use the Renovations AD LDAP. (it is the only one we have). Then click the Next button to continue.

HTTP Tunneling is required if your Sametime Clients need to connect to your Sametime Server through a Web Proxy or Reverse Proxy Server. But then performance can be slower. Only enable HTTP tunneling when urgently required. Then click the Next button to continue.

Confirm all settings and then click the Finish button.

You have now successfully created a deployment plan for your Sametime Community Server.

The next step is to install the Sametime Community Server.

STEP EIGHT: Install the IBM Lotus Sametime Community Server Summary In this step you install the IBM Lotus Sametime Community Server using the Sametime System Console. Before you can start the installation you need to quit the Lotus Domino Server first. Enter the quit command in the Lotus Domino Console and wait until the console disappears.

When the Domino Console has disappeared you can open a new CMD line window and navigate to the installation directory. In this example we use: cd C:\Install\SametimeStandardServer\Server. Then enter the command to start the installer setupwin32.exe

The Lotus Install Shield Wizard is starting up.

Confirm the English language or select your preferred language for the installer. Then click the OK button.

Click the Next button to continue.

Accept the terms in the license agreement anc click the Next button.

We want to install the Sametime Community Server using the predefined Deployment Plan in the Sametime System Console. To go this way just accept the default Yes answer and click the Next button.

Enter the Host name of the Sametime System Console. In this example we use meeting.renovations.com because we have installed the SSC on this host. The default port for communication is 9443 (using SSL encryption) Port 9080 would be in use for unencrypted communication. The WebSphere Administrative User and password is required. We use our standard user name wasadmin. The last field is the local host name where you want to install your Sametime Community Server. By default it just displays the host name. Add the domain to get the full qualified hostname in the field. We use chat.renovations.com. Then click the Next button.

Select the Deployment plan that you have created for your Community Server. We use the Chat Server plan. Then click the Next button.

Crosscheck that all settings are correct. Then click the Install button.

The Install Shield Wizzard is now installing the Lotus Sametime Community Server on top of your existing Domino Server installation using the predefined Settings from the Deployment Plan in the Sametime System Console. This step takes approximately 2 3 Minutes.

Important to know...
The Sametime Community Server Deployment Plan Guided Activity checks the existence of the Domino Administrator user ID and that this user can authenticate with its HTTP password. Therefore it is required to install the Domino Server before the Sametime Community Server Deployment Plan is created. Later it is possible to change this credentials if the Domino Administrator user changes. This can be done in the Sametime System Console.

Important to know...
The Sametime 8.5.1 Community Server reads the policy configuration from the Sametime System Console during startup and then every hour. (This can be configured) The first startup of the Sametime Community Servers requires the SSC to get the Policy configuration. Then it caches this data in the local policies.user.xml file. This can be found in the Domino program directory. This means the Sametime Community Server can start and run even if the SSC is not available.

When the installation was successfully click the Finish button.

Now you can start the Lotus Sametime Server by double click the Domino Server icon on the desktop. If you have configured to start the Domino Server as a service you can start the Service as well or restart the OS. Then the service should start up automatically.

Confirm that all Sametime related Services (HTTP JVM and Sametime Services) start up correctly. A full start of a Sametime Server with all tasks can take up to 5 Minutes. You can check the Task Manager and there the Processes view to check that all 41 Tasks starting with the letters ST... are started.

STEP NINE: Enable Trust between the Sametime Community Server, the Sametime Proxy Server and the Sametime Media Manager. Summary In this step you configure the Sametime Community Server to trust the Sametime proxy Server and the Sametime Media Manager. The Sametime Proxy Server and Media Manager need to connect to the Sametime Community Server on the Virtual Places (VP) Server Port 1516 to the Sametime Community Server. Normally a Sametime Community Server only allows this connection if the connecting server is known (another Sametime Server in the same Community) or is trusted in the Trusted IP's field in the configuration database. Other Servers you need to trust can be Blackberry Servers, the Sametime Gateway, Sametime Advanced Server, SUT Server, WebSphere Portal Server or other servers who want to connect using the VP Server protocoll.

Open the Sametime System Console, Log in and navigate to the Sametime Community Server by clicking on Sametime System Console then Sametime Servers and then Sametime Community Servers.

Click the link to your Community Server. We click on Chat Server because this is our name for the Community Server Deployment Plan. The Edit link allows you to change the authentication credentials to the Sametime Community Server (Domino Administrator Username, Password and Port)

The Sametime Community Server configuration screen appears. Go to the bottom of the screen to find the Trusted Servers Setting.

Enter the IP address of the Server you want to allow connecting to the Sametime Community Server. In this example we use the IP 192.168.30.30. Because we want to install the Sametime Proxy Server and the Sametime Media Manager on the same box, sharing the same IP address, we need to enter only one IP here.

Now click the OK button to save the changes to the Community Server configuration.

The Sametime Community Server requires a Server restart for most of the configuration changes.

Now restart the Sametime Community Server by entering the command restart server in the Domino Console window. Never use this command in a production Sametime server because it can happen that not all Sametime tasks are stopped before the domino server restarts. This can cause massive problems for starting the Sametime Services.

It takes up to 5 Minutes until the Sametime Community Server is completely restarted and all 41 Sametime tasks are again active.

STEP Ten: Run the guided activity to configure the IBM Lotus Sametime Proxy Server deployment plan

Summary Use the Lotus Sametime System Console to prepare to install a Lotus Sametime Proxy Server by pre-populating values required for installation. In the Sametime System Console click on Sametime System Console, then on Sametime Guided Activities and then click Install Sametime Proxy Server.

Confirm that Create a New Deployment Plan is checked and click the Next button.

Enter a name for your Proxy Server Deployment Plan. In this example we just name it Proxy Server. Then click the Next button to continue.

We want to install the actual version 8.5.1. just click the Next button to continue.

Select the Community Server you want your Proxy Server to connect to. You need to connect only to one Community Server. The Proxy Server gets information about other Servers in the community and connects to this servers automatic. (Don't forget to enable trust on the other servers as well) In this example we just select the Chat Server. Then click Next to continue.

The default setting is Cell Profile that we use this example. If you plan to implement the Sametime Proxy Server in a clustered environment, then select Network Deployment and one of the components. Note that it is not possible to implement a Cell Profile and a Network Deployment on the same box. Click Next to continue.

Enter the full qualified host name of your proxy server. In this example we use proxy.renovations.com. Enter a WebSphere administrative user name and its password twice. We just use the standard wasadmin name. Click the Next button to continue.

Control your settings and if all is correct click the Finish button to save the new deployment plan.

STEP ELEVEN: Install the IBM Lotus Sametime Proxy Server using the predefined Deployment Plan

Summary This step installs the Sametime Proxy Server using the pre-defined Deployment plan in the Sametime System Console.

Navigate to the Installation Directory and start the launchpad installer. We use a Windows CMD command window and enter the commands: cd \Install\SametimeProxyServer and just launchpad

The Sametime Proxy Launchpad Installer is loading. Click the link Install IBM Lotus Sametime Proxy Server

Now click the link Launch IBM Lotus Sametime proxy Server 8.5.1 Installation

The IBM Installation Manager is loading.

Click Next to continue.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button.

Remove the Program Files\ part in the path and click the Next button.

Click the Install button to start the Install Manager installation.

The Installation Manager is now installing. This process takes approximately 20 seconds.

When the Installation Manager has been installed successfully, click the Restart Installation Manager button.

To Install the Sametime Proxy Server click the Install icon.

Check the IBM Sametime Proxy server and Version 8.5.1 entries. They are unchecked by default. Then click the Next button.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button.

Remove again the Program Files\ part in the path and click the Next button.

Once more remove the Program Files\ part in the path and click the Next button.

We want to use the predefined Deployment Plan from the Sametime System console. Just click the Next button to continue.

Enter the Sametime System Console Server information and credentials to authenticate. In our example we use meeting.renovations.com as SSC Server name and wasadmin as the WebSphere Administrative User name. The last field is the host name where we want to install the Sametime Proxy Server. Here we use proxy.renovations.com. Then click the Validate button to check the connection to the System Console Server.

The connection to the Sametime System Console was successful when the button text Validate changes to Validated. Click the Next button to continue.

Select your Sametime Proxy Server Deployment plan that you have created in the previous step. We use our Proxy Server. Then click the Next button to continue.

Control your settings again and then click the Next button to continue.

Start the installation by clicking the Install button.

The Sametime Proxy Server is now installing. This step takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes if installing as first WebSphere instance on a Server. If you install the proxy Server as second Sametime Component on top of another Sametime Server (SSC or Media Manager) it takes only 10 to 15 minutes because the WebSphere binaries are already installed.

Important to know...
The Sametime Proxy Server: does not need a Database does not need a LDAP connection is just a Web Interface for browser access to the Sametime Community Services Web based Sametime Connect Client supplies the new Web API for Web based application integration can be implemented with or without the SSC can be connected to existing older Sametime Servers can be connected to a community cluster

You can have one or more Proxies in your organization

You can implement one or more Proxies and cluster them using the WebSphere Cluster Method (Network Deployment) individual Proxies with a Load Balancer or RRDNS in front of them By default the Sametime Proxy Server installs to use Port 9080 and 9443 (SSL). If you want to use Port 80 and 443 you need to enter the Sametime Proxy ISC on Port 8600 and change the port settings in the Application Server. Do this change when the installation has finished successfully.

When the Sametime Proxy Server has installed successfully just click the Finish button and exit the Installation Manager and Launchpad.

To configure your Start and Stop batches proceed the same way as on Page 85 and following (end of step 6) when the installation has finished successfully.

To test your Sametime Proxy Server installation and the connection to your Sametime Community Server, open a Browser window and navigate to the URL: http://proxy.renovations.com:9080/stwebclient/index.jsp. You should see this page:

Now click the Launch Sametime button.

Enter the user name and password of any user in the directory and click the Log In button. You are authenticated to the Sametime Community Server and see your (new) buddy list.

STEP TWELVE: Create the IBM Lotus Sametime Meeting Server database

Summary In this step you create the second DB2 Database that is required for the Sametime Meeting Server.

In a CMD command line window navigate to the Sametime Meeting Server installation directory. We use the cd \Install\SametimeMeetingServer command. Then enter the command to create the Meeting Database. We use the Database name STMS and enter the command: createMeetingDb.bat STMS

The name of the database should not be the name of the Sametime Meeting Server. If your Meeting Server is named stms.renovations.com then you can not name the database STMS. Then you need to use another name for example STMSDB. In this example we use meeting.renovations.com. So we dont have any issue with the Database Name STMS.

The Database creation takes approximately 2 3 minutes. You should confirm that the database is created and configured successfully. Check that you find the message The SQL command completed successfully after every command.

STEP THIRTEEN: Configure the Connect to DB2 Database for the Sametime Meeting Server Database

Summary In this step you configure the connection to the Sametime Meeting Server Database on your DB2 Server.

In your Sametime System Console click on Sametime System Console then Sametime Prerequisites and then Connect to DB2 Database.

Click the Add button.

Fill the form with your DB2 Servers host name, the name of the Database you created in the previous step and the DB2 Administrator credentials. In this example we use meeting.renovations.com for the DB2 Server host name, STMS for the Database Name and db2admin for the DB2 administrative user name. In some installations the access port can be 50001 or different. Then click the Finish button to save your settings.

You have now created successfully your DB2 Database connection for the Sametime Meeting Server database.

The next step is to create a deployment plan for your Sametime Meeting Server.

STEP FOURTEEN: Run the guided activity to configure the IBM Lotus Sametime Meeting Server deployment plan

Summary This step is to preconfigure the settings for the Sametime Meeting Server installation.

In your Sametime System Console click on Sametime System Console then Sametime Guided Activities and then on Install Sametime Meeting Server.

Use the first entry Create a New Deployment Plan and click the Next button.

Enter a name for your Meeting Server Deployment Plan. In this example we use Meeting Server. Then click the Next button to continue.

We want to install the product version 8.5.1. Click the Next button to continue.

Leave the default Cell Profile checked and click the Next button to continue.

Enter the full qualified host name of your Sametime Meeting Server. In this example we use meeting.renovations.com. Enter a WebSphere administrative user name and its password twice. We just use the standard wasadmin name. Click the Next button to continue.

Select your Sametime Meeting Server Database connection and click the Next button.

Select your LDAP connection and click the Next button.

Check your settings and then click the Finish button to save the new Deployment Plan.

You have now successfully created a Deployment Plan for the Sametime Meeting Server installation.

The next step is to install the Sametime Meeting Server.

STEP FIVTEEN: Install the IBM Lotus Sametime Meeting Server

Summary In this step you install the Sametime Meeting Server using the preconfigured settings in the deployment plan on the Sametime System Console.

In a CMD command line window navigate to the Sametime Meeting Server install directory. We do this with the command: cd \Install\SametimeMeetingServer. Then start the Launchpad installer with the command launchpad.

Click the Install IBM Lotus Sametime Meeting Server link.

Click the Launch IBM Lotus Sametime Meeting Server 8.5.1 Installation link.

The Installation Manager is starting loading.

Just click the Install icon to start the Sametime Meeting Server installation.

Check the IBM Sametime Meetings server and Version 8.5.1 entries. They are unchecked by default. Then click the Next button.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button.

Because we have already installed a WebSphere based Sametime Server on this box, (The Sametime System Console) we can reuse the installed binaries. The installer detects this and checks the Use the existing package group. And therefore the path is greyed and can not be changed. Click the Next button to continue.

We want to use the predefined Deployment Plan from the Sametime System Console. Click the Next button to continue.

Enter the Sametime System Console Server information and credentials to authenticate. In our example we use meeting.renovations.com as SSC Server name and wasadmin as the WebSphere Administrative User name. The last field is the host name where we want to install the Sametime Meeting Server. Here we use meeting.renovations.com. Then click the Validate button to check the connection to the System Console Server.

The connection to the Sametime System Console was successful when the button text Validate changes to Validated. Click the Next button to continue.

Select your Sametime Meeting Server Deployment plan that you have created in the previous step. We use our Meeting Server. Then click the Next button to continue.

Control the settings you received from the System Console. Then click the Next button.

To start the installation click the Install button.

The Sametime Meeting Server is now installing. This takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes. But because we already have the binaries installed and reuse this data, the installation is much shorter. It then takes only 15 to 20 minutes.

Important to know...
To configure LiveName integration in the Browser Meeting interface, SSO between the Community Server and the Meeting Server is required. The LTPA Token has to be exported from the Meeting Server and imported in the community server. Live Name Integration works over the REST API in the Proxy Server. You can find the required steps in the Sametime InfoCenter. Configure this setting when the Meeting Server, the Community Server and the Proxy Server have been installed successfully.

No Connectivity is required between the Meeting Server and the Media Manager.
Audio and Video is possible only with the Sametime Connect Client Version 8.5 or newer. (Stand alone or Notes embedded client). This client first connects to the Community Server. From there it receives the connectivity information to other servers. Then it connects to the Media Manager with SIP protocol.

Important to know...
The Meeting Server can be clustered using the WebSphere Network Deployment. This can be configured and deployed with the Sametime System Console. The new Sametime Meeting Server consists of two components. - the Meeting Server - the Meeting HTTP Proxy Clustering means that a meeting room is running only on one server at a time. The Meeting Proxy servers have the information on witch Meeting Server instance the Meeting Room is running and forward incoming requests to the right server. Meeting data are stored only in the database. In case of a fail over the Meeting Room will be started on another Meeting Server in the cluster immediately. For external access a separate Sametime Meeting Server in your DMZ is recommended for better security.

You have now successfully installed the Sametime Meeting Server. Click the Finish button and exit the Installation Manager and Launchpad.

To configure your Start and Stop batches proceed the same way as on Page 85 and following (end of step 6) when the installation has finished successfully.

You can test the Meeting Server Browser access simple by opening a Browser window and enter the URL: http://meeting.renovations.com. You will be automatic redirected to the /stmeetings page. You should see this page:

To authenticate to the Sametime Meeting Server use one of the Log In links (3 possible locations for this link.

Enter a User name and password (who is in the LDAP directory) and click the Log In button.

You are now logged in and can create a new meeting room using the New Meeting Room link.

Just enter a name for your Meeting Room. Then click the Save button.

Your new Meeting Room has been created successfully.

STEP SIXTEEN: Enable Trust between the IBM Lotus Sametime Community Server and the IBM Lotus Sametime Media Manager Summary In this step you configure the Sametime Community Server to allow the Sametime Media Manager to connect on port 1516 with the VP protocoll. Because we have the Sametime Proxy Server and the Sametime Media Manager running on the same box, they share the same IP address. We already have configured this trust for the Sametime Proxy Server. There is no need to configure this step in this example. If you want to deploy your Sametime Media Manager on another box, then you need to configure this Trust. See step Nine and follow the instructions there.

STEP SEVENTEEN: Run the Guided Activity to configure the IBM Lotus Sametime Media Manager Deployment plan

Summary In this step you prepare the installation of the Sametime 8.5.1 Media Manager.

In your Sametime System Console click on Sametime System Console then Sametime Guided Activities and then Install Sametime Media Manager

We want to Create a New Deployment Plan for the Sametime Media Manager. Click the Next button to continue.

Enter a name for your Media Manager Deployment. In this example we use Media Manager. Then click the Next button to continue.

We want to install the product version 8.5.1. Click the Next button to continue.

We want to install all Media Manager components in this server. It is possible to split the components to separate machines for clustering. If you plan to cluster later you should use separat boxes for each of the 3 components. We accept the default setting Install All Components. Click the Next button to continue.

When installing all components in one box then only the Cell Profile is possible. Don't change the default setting and click the Next button to continue.

Enter the full qualified host name of your Sametime Media Manager Server. In this example we use proxy.renovations.com. Enter a WebSphere administrative user name and its password twice. We just use the standard wasadmin name. Click the Next button to continue.

Select the Community Server to which the Media Manager should connect to. In our example we use the Chat Server. Then click the Next button to continue.

Control that all settings are correct. Then click the Finish button to save the Deployment Plan.

You have now successfully created the Sametime Media Manager Deployment Plan.

The next step is to install the Sametime media Manager.

STEP EIGHTEEN: Install the IBM Lotus Sametime Media Manager

Summary In this step you install the Sametime 8.5.1 Media Manager.

In a CMD command line window we navigate to the installation directory of the Sametime media Manager. In our example we use the command: cd \Install\SametimeMediaManagement. Then we start the installation with the Launchpad installer by entering the launchpad command.

The Sametime Launchpad Installer is starting up. Click the Install IBM Lotus Sametime Media Manager link to continue.

Click the Launch IBM Lotus Sametime media Manager 8.5.1 Installation link.

The Installation Manager is starting up.

To install the Sametime Media Manager click the Install icon.

Check the IBM Sametime Media server and Version 8.5.1 entries. They are unchecked by default. Then click the Next button.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button to continue.

We use the existing package group. Click the Next button to continue.

We want to use the predefined deployment plan in the Sametime System Console for this installation. Click the Next button to continue.

Enter the Sametime System Console Server information and credentials to authenticate. In our example we use meeting.renovations.com as SSC Server name and wasadmin as the WebSphere Administrative User name. The last field is the host name where we want to install the Sametime Media Manager. Here we use proxy.renovations.com. Then click the Validate button to check the connection to the System Console Server.

The installer checks the connectivity to the Sametime System Console. When this was successful the text in the button changes from Validate to Validated. Click the Next button to continue.

Select your Media Manager Deployment plan. We use the Media Manager plan. Then click the Next button to continue.

Control your installation data that where read from the Deployment plan on the Sametime System Console. Then click the Next button to continue.

To start the installation click the Install button.

The Installation Manager now installs the Media Manager. This installation will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes. But because we are installing on a machine where the WebSphere binaries are already installed (with the Sametime proxy Server), this step will be skipped and it takes only 10 to 15 minutes.

Important to know...
The Media Manager uses new Audio and Video codecs (H.264/MPEG4). The Media Manager uses SIP for VoIP connectivity (Sametime Connect Client or Notes Embedded Sametime Client). The Media Manager can be connected to existing Audio and Video conference systems and provides the interoperability of Sametime Clients and other A/V endpoints. The Media Manager is not exactly a PBX. It is just a server with its own connectivity and TCSPI SDK to connect to other systems. This has nothing to do with Sametime Unified Telephony.

Important to know...
The Media Manager can be clustered for better scalability if required. The components of a Media Manager can be split and implemented on different machines for scalability. In the actual release only the SIP Proxy Registrar and the Conference Manager can be clustered. The Packet switcher can not be clustered. This is the cause for the need to have several boxes to cluster the Media Manager server. Sametime 8.5.1 Media Manager has been extended for encrypted Media traffic transfer (TLS) and more participants in a single conference. This version of the Media Manager still does not support NAT traversal. If you want to communicate by Audio/Video over the Internet use VPN.

You have now successfully installed the Sametime Media Manager Server. Click the Finish button then close the Installation Manager and the Launchpad installer.

To configure your Start and Stop batches proceed the same way as on Page 85 and following (end of step 6) when the installation has finished successfully.

STEP NINETEEN: Install the IBM Lotus Sametime Connect Client

Summary In this step you install the Sametime 8.5.1 Connect Client Standard.

Navigate to the installation directory. We use a CMD command line window and enter the command: cd \Install\SametimeStandardClient\sametimecilent.standalone\Windows. Then start the installer by entering sametime-connect.exe.

We want the installation files to be stored in a temporary directory. So we use the default setting. Then click the Next button.

The installation files are now extracted.

Select your preferred language for the installation and click the OK button.

The Lotus Sametime Connect Install Shield Wizard has started. Click the Next button to continue.

Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button to continue.

My recommendation again is to remove the Program Files\ part of the path and then click the Next button to continue.

Check the settings and click the Install button to start the installation.

The Install Shield Wizard now installs the Sametime Connect Client. This process takes approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

Important to know...
The new Sametime 8.5.1 Connect Client can be installed as a stand alone version or as Embedded Version in an existing Notes 8.5.1 or newer client. This works with all language versions of the Notes Client. The new Meeting Plug-In is automatically installed with this client. The SUT Client is installed with the new Sametime 8.5.1 Connect Client installer. The Sametime Connect Client is available for Windows, Linux and MAC platforms.

You have now successfully installed the Sametime Connect Client. Leave the check box to Launch the Client checked and click the Finish button to start the configuration.

The Lotus Sametime Connect Client is now starting up.

Fill the configuration form with your Sametime Community Server host name and User credentials in the LDAP directory. In this example we use chat.renovations.com for the host name and Sam Curman as user. If you prefer to have the password saved and log in automatically, then check the 2 check boxes. Then click the Log In button.

After some seconds the question for saving chat transcripts will pop up. To make it easy just click the No button. This can be configured later.

You have now successfully installed the Sametime Connect Client Version 8.5.1.

The next step is to configure the Sametime Meetings Plugin

STEP TWENTY: Configure the IBM Lotus Sametime Client Meetings Plugin

Summary In this step you configure your Sametime Meetings Plugin to connect to your Meeting Server.

In your Sametime Connect Client click on File and then in the menu on Preferences.

In the Preferences menu click on Sametime Meeting Rooms and then on Meeting Room Servers.

To add a new Sametime Meeting Room Server just click the Button Add Meeting Room Server ....

In the Identity section you can configure the Community Server settings from where the authentication information is coming from. We use our chat.renovations.com server. In the Connection settings section we enter the Sametime Meeting Server host name. We use meeting.renovations.com. Then click the OK button to save the changes.

You will now find an entry for your new meeting server. Click the Apply button to save the changes to your preferences. Then click the OK button to close the preferences screen.

Open the Sametime Meetings Plugin. We now see a meeting room that was created before (in the Web Meeting Interface).

To access the Meeting Room Sams Room just click the Enter Room link.

You are now accessing the Sametime Meeting Room Sams Room with the Sametime Connect Client User interface.

STEP TWENTYONE: Configure the Meeting Room to use Audio and Video

Summary In this step you configure your Sametime Meeting Room to use Audio and Video features over the Media Manager Server.

In your Sametime Connect Client, in the Sametime Meetings Plugin click the More Actions link in one of the meeting rooms.

Click the Edit ... button to change the Meeting Room settings.

In the Edit Meeting Room Settings page in the Audio Conferences section click the button near Unspecified. There you should find an entry Sametime Audio/Video Conferencing. Select this option, enable Video and click the OK button.

Now enter the Meeting Room again by clicking the Enter Room link.

You can now see Telephone symbol in the Conferencing section at the top left corner.

If you click the Telephone icon you can join the call with your computer for Audio and Video.

Additional Steps after the installation:

The Sametime 8.5.1 Meeting Server now has a URL redirection to the /stmeetings page. This is not implemented in the Sametime Proxy Server. Here you still need to enter the /stwebclient/index.jsp in the url to access the server. It is possible to connect directly to the stwebclient/popup.jsp page. To get the WebSphere application that can be installed on the Sametime Proxy Server for the automatic redirection (like in the Meeting Server) you can contact the author of this presentation. If you want to implement SSL to access your Sametime Meeting or Sametime Proxy Server, additional configuration steps are required. See the Lotus Sametime InfoCenter for more details. Automatic URL redirection to https (SSL) can be configured. To get the install instructions you can contact the author of this document.
