Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.
Deploying instant messaging
Instant messaging features are provided primarily by the IBM® Sametime® Community Server, which supports presence, text chats, and two-way phone calls.
Sametime® Community Server on IBM® i
The IBM® Sametime® Community Server supports presence, text chats, and two-way phone calls.
Installing Domino®
Install an IBM® Domino® server and prepare the environment before installing an IBM Sametime® Community Server.
Preparing the TCP/IP environment on IBM® i
Your IBM® Sametime® Community Server must be configured to use one or more specific TCP/IP addresses so that it will not attempt to share TCP/IP ports with any other HTTP servers on your system.
Verifying the system host name
During the IBM® Sametime® Community Server startup, Sametime attempts to resolve the main system host name in addition to the Sametime server host name. The upgraded server will not start if Sametime cannot resolve the system host name to an IP address. Prior to Sametime 8.5, only the host name for the Sametime server was checked.

Verifying the system host name

During the IBM® Sametime® Community Server startup, Sametime attempts to resolve the main system host name in addition to the Sametime server host name. The upgraded server will not start if Sametime cannot resolve the system host name to an IP address. Prior to Sametime 8.5, only the host name for the Sametime server was checked.

About this task

Verify that either the local IBM i host table (CFGTCP, option 10) or the DNS contain a fully qualified host name for the system and that the host name resolves to the correct IP address. If necessary, update the local IBM i host table or the DNS.
