Setting up a separate IP address for the Internet Cluster Manager (ICM)

When you run the ICM on a Web server, you can give the ICM its own IP address to avoid conflicts.

Procedure

  1. Use your operating system to make the IP address available.
  2. In the Server pane of the Domino® Administrator, choose the server that contains the ICM.
  3. Set up a new port by doing the following:
    • Click the Server > Status tab.
    • In the Tools pane, expand Ports, and then click Setup.
    • Click New.
    • Specify a name for the new port, such as ICMPORT.
    • Choose TCP as the driver.
    • Click OK twice.
      Note: As an alternative method of setting up the port, you can do the following on the server that contains the ICM.
    • Add this line to the NOTES.INI file:
    • Add the name of the port, such as ICMPORT, to the Ports setting in the NOTES.INI file.
  4. Add the following to the NOTES.INI file: 
     Portname_TcpipAddress=0,IPAddress

    where portname is the name of the new port you configured, such as ICMPORT, and IPAddress is the IP address you are using for the ICM.

    Example: ICMPORT_TcpIpAddress=0,192.94.222.169

  5. From the Domino® Administrator, click the Configuration tab.
  6. In the Tasks pane, expand Server, and click All Server Documents.
  7. In the Results pane, select the Server document for the server on which you want to run the ICM. Then click Edit Server.
  8. Click the Server Tasks > Internet Cluster Manager tab.
  9. In the field ICM Notes port, enter the name of the port you configured, such as ICMPORT.
  10. If you want to use port 80 for both the ICM and the Web server, you must do the following:
    • In the Server document, click the Internet Protocols > HTTP tab.
    • In the Host name(s) field, enter the IP address or host name of the Web server.
    • In the Bind to host name field, select Enabled.
  11. Click Save & Close.
