Adding a Domino server to an existing Domino domain on IBM i

You can install or add a Domino® server into an existing Domino domain.

Procedure

  1. Register the additional server for your normal operating environment. You must 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 will need to specify it when you configure the Sametime server.
    • Change the owner of the ID file to Qnotes by right-clicking the file in iSeries® Navigator and selecting Permissions.
    • Use the same network name as the first Domino server in the Domino domain.
  2. Find the software packages you need to download.
  3. Download the packages.
  4. Extract all downloaded packages.
  5. Launch the appropriate Domino wizard, depending on whether or not you have already installed Domino:
    • If you have not already installed Domino, launch the Domino InstallShield Wizard from a Windows® workstation by running the setup.exe file located on the Domino product CD-ROM. Once you complete the installation, you are given the option to launch the Domino Server Setup Wizard to configure a Domino server.
    • If you have already installed Domino, launch the Domino Server Setup Wizard from a Windows workstation by running the domwzd.exe file located on the Domino product CD-ROM.
  6. Follow the instructions on each wizard display to complete the addition of the new Domino server. Be sure to specify that you are configuring an additional Domino server in an existing domain. If you need help with a particular setting, click Help.
  7. Configure the Domino server with the following settings:
    Note: This list shows document settings that directly apply to this Sametime installation. For settings that are not documented, you can enter your own values.
    • Registered Name

      Provide the registered name of the additional Domino server where you will add Sametime. For example, specify Sales1/example.

    • Advanced server settings

      Specify Yes for Enable server partitioning to allow multiple Domino servers to run on the same system.

    • Internet Services

      Select Web Browsers (HTTP services). Sametime requires that you use the Domino HTTP server.

      Deselect Directory Services (LDAP services). Even if you plan to use an LDAP directory, you should not run it on the same server where you run Sametime.

    • Domino Network Settings

      Click Customize to view the Advanced Network Settings.

    • Advanced Network Settings

    • Click the check box associated with the IP address for this server. Ensure that only one check box is selected.

      You must edit the Host Name field and replace the IP address with the fully qualified Internet host name for this server. Type over the IP address displayed in the Host Name column and replace it with the fully qualified host name for the server. For example, stdom1.example.com. You must press Enter for the change to take effect.

      Also, type the fully qualified host name in the field at the end of the display.

  8. When finished, click OK and continue until Domino server setup is complete.
