Configuring the Conference Manager cluster to use the SIP Proxy/Registrar cluster

After you create clusters of Sametime® Media Manager Conference Manager components and SIP Proxy/Registrar components, configure the Conference Manager cluster to work with the WebSphere® proxy server that is used by the SIP Proxy/Registrar cluster (so that the two clusters share the proxy server).

Before you begin

Create and configure the Conference Manager and SIP Proxy/Registrar clusters.

About this task

By default, a Conference Manager is configured to access the SIP Proxy/Registrar component directly, and must be reconfigured to communicate with a cluster. Modify the Conference Manager's stavconfig.xml file to access the WebSphere proxy server used by the SIP Proxy Registrar cluster. The WebSphere proxy server will direct SIP requests to available nodes in the cluster. Complete this task for every Conference Manager in the cluster.

Procedure

  1. On the server that is being used as the deployment manager, open the stavconfig.xml file for editing.

    The stavconfig.xml is located at:

    dm_install_root/config/cells/cell_name/nodes/node_name/servers/server_name

    For example:

    config/cells/bassMediaCell1/nodes/bassMediaNode1/servers/STMediaServer
  2. Modify the following settings:
    OptionDescription
    SIPProxyServerHost Do one of these according to your configuration:
    • Use the host name of the computer where the WebSphere proxy server is installed for the SIP Proxy/Registrar cluster.
    • If your configuration includes multiple WebSphere proxy servers behind a load balancer, use the cluster address which points to the WebSphere proxy servers.
    SIPProxyServerPort If you are using TLS, use the PROXY_SIPS_ADDRESS port value of the same WebSphere proxy server (used by the SIP Proxy/Registrar cluster).

    If you are using TCP, use the PROXY_SIP_ADDRESS port value of the same WebSphere proxy server (used by the SIP Proxy/Registrar cluster).

    If you deployed a load balancer in front of the SIP Proxy/Registrar cluster, use the load balancer's host name and port.

    For example:

    <configuration lastUpdated="1226425838277" name="SIPProxyServerHost" 
    		value="wasproxy_pr.acme.com"/>
    <configuration lastUpdated="1226425838277" name="SIPProxyServerPort" value="5080"/>
  3. Save and close the file.
  4. Repeat for every Conference Manager in the cluster.
