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.
Clustering servers for high availability and failover
You can provide failover and load balancing in your deployment by creating a cluster of multiple IBM® Sametime® servers of the same type. All Sametime servers can be clustered except for the Sametime System Console, and the Video MCU and TURN Server components of the Sametime Media Manager.
Clustering Sametime® Media Manager components
The IBM® Sametime® Media Manager includes several components. You can install the components separately and optionally cluster some of them.
Clustering Sametime® Video Managers
Clustering the IBM® Sametime® Video Manager consists of setting up replication and deploying a load balancer in front of the Video Manager servers.
Setting up Solid DB replication for multiple Video Manager servers
To replicate the Solid DB database among IBM® Sametime® Video Manager servers, use the configuration script. In the script, specify information such as the host name and node name of each server. The script registers nodes as a master or as replicas, and creates all necessary triggers and stored procedures. Run the script on any node and create the master or replica on any other node.
