Verifying the Sametime Advanced Server installation

About this task

Verify the installation by setting up a test client and logging in to the server.

Procedure

Install the latest Sametime client.
Change the following preferences.
- For Chat Rooms and Broadcast Tools, enter the Broadcast Tools Server name and port 1883.
- Enter the Sametime Advanced Server name and port 9080. The Advanced Server HTTP port is usually 9080, but might be different in your environment.
From a web browser, access the Sametime Advanced server by entering the following URL:
http://serverhostname.domain:port/stadvanced
Verify that chat rooms and broadcast communities connect to the Advanced server correctly.
Verify that the new server was successfully federated to its deployment manager.
The deployment manager handles administration tasks for the cell to which the new server is federated. If the server was not successfully federated, you will encounter problems when you attempt to administer it; you will also be unable to create a WebSphere® Network Deployment cluster. Avoid these problems by verifying that the federation was successful and completing federation manually if needed.
1. On the new Sametime Advanced server, navigate to the following directory: install_root/profiles/profile_name/logs
2. Open the addNode.log file and check for confirmation that the new node was successfully added to the cell's deployment manager.
3. If the node was not federated successfully, use the addNode command to complete the federation by running the following command:
  Linux™
```
install_root/bin/addNode.sh -profileName profile_name dmgr_host dmgr_SOAP_port 
```
  Windows™
```
install_root\bin\addNode.bat -profileName profile_name dmgr_host dmgr_SOAP_port 
```
  where:
  - dmgr_host is the fully qualified host name of the deployment manager (typically the Sametime System Console).
  - dmgr_SOAP_port is the SOAP port of the deployment manager.
    The SOAP port is 8879 by default; you can check the port value by opening the deployment manager's WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console and clicking System Administration > Deployment Manager Communications > Ports.
Check the server's status in the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console by completing the following steps:
- Cell deployment:
1. On the new server, log in to the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console as the WebSphere administrator:
  - If you installed the server as a primary node, use the following URL:
    http://host_name.domain:8700/ibm/console
    where host_name.domain is the fully qualified host name of the server, and 8700 is the default port.
  - If you installed the server as a cell, use the following URL:
    http://serverhostname.domain:8800/ibm/console
    where host_name.domain is the fully qualified host name of the server, and 8800 is the default port.
2. In the navigation tree, click Servers > Server types > WebSphere application servers.
3. Find the new server in the list and verify that the status column shows that the server is running.
- Federated deployment:
1. On the server hosting the Sametime System Console, log in to the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console as the WebSphere administrator:
  
  https://host_name.domain:port/ibm/console
  
  where host_name.domain is the fully qualified host name of the server, and 8701 is the default port. For example:
  
  https://sametime.example.com:8701/ibm/console
2. In the navigation tree, click Servers > Server types > WebSphere application servers.
3. Find the new server in the list and verify that the status column shows that the server is running.
