Clustering the Meeting Recording Capturer and Recording Renderer servers

Cluster the IBM® Sametime® Meeting Recording Capturer and Sametime Meeting Recording Renderer servers by setting the configuration keys in this procedure. In this configuration, the Recording Capturer and Recording Renderer servers have an IBM Load Balancer in front of them and the servers use a shared directory to store the recordings files.

Procedure

  1. From a browser, enter the following URL, replacing serverhostname.domain with the fully qualified domain name of the Sametime System Console server.

    http://serverhostname.domain:8700/ibm/console

    For example:

    http://sametime.example.com:8700/ibm/console

  2. Enter the IBM WebSphere® Application Server user ID and password that you created when you installed the Sametime System Console.
  3. Click Sametime System Console > Sametime Servers > Sametime Meeting Servers.
  4. From the list of servers, select the Base Meeting Server you are working with.
  5. Click New or Edit according to whether you have already specified configuration key values on the Base Meeting Server.
  6. In the Configuration Key and Configuration Value fields, specify the following settings:
    Note: The Base Meeting Server Configuration Keys in Table 1 need to be in place to correctly configure the cluster for the Sametime Recording Capturer and Recording Renderer servers.
    Table 1. Base Meeting Server - Configuration Key Settings
    Base Meeting Server - Configuration Key Settings Configuration Value
    recording.api.remote.url Renderer/Capturer Cluster/Virtual server hostname:Cluster/Virtual Server service port
    recording.capture.isCaptureServer false
    recording.render.isRenderServer false
    recording.render.serverAddress http://Render/Capture Cluster/Virtual server hostname:Cluster/Virtual Server service port
    recording.capture.serverAddress http://Render/Capture Cluster/Virtual server hostname:Cluster/Virtual Server service port
  7. Click OK.
  8. From the list of servers, select the Meeting Capturer Server you are working with.
  9. Click New.
  10. If the Recording Renderer and Recording Capturer reside on separate servers, complete the following steps:
    1. For the Recording Capturer Server, in the Configuration Key and Configuration Value fields, enter the following settings:
      Table 2. Recording Capturer Server - Configuration Key Settings
      Recording Capturer Server - Configuration Key Settings Values
      recording.api.remote.url blank
      recording.capture.isCaptureServer true
      recording.capture.serverAddress http://local node hostname:local node service port
      recording.capture.meetingServerAddress http://Meetings Base Cluster/Virtual server hostname
    2. Click OK.
    3. For the Recording Renderer Server, in the Configuration Key and Configuration Value fields, enter the following settings:
      Table 3. Recording Renderer Server - Configuration Key Settings
      Recording Renderer Server - Configuration Keys Configuration Values
      recording.api.remote.url blank
      recording.render.isRenderServer true
      recording.render.serverAddress http://local node hostname:local node service port
    4. Click OK.
  11. If the Recording Capturer Server and the Recording Renderer Server reside on the same computer, complete the following steps:
    1. In the Configuration Key and Configuration Value fields, enter the following settings:
      Table 4. Recording Capturer Server and Recording Renderer Server - Configuration Key Settings
      Configuration Keys Configuration Values
      recording.api.remote.url blank
      recording.capture.isCaptureServer true
      recording.render.isRenderServer true
      recording.render.serverAddress http://local node hostname:local node service port
      recording.capture.serverAddress http://local node hostname:local node service port
      recording.capture.meetingServerAddress http://Meetings Base Cluster/Virtual server hostname
    2. Click OK.
