Updating Sametime Community Server to FP1

Run the installation program to update IBM® Sametime® 9.0.1 Community Server to Feature Pack 1.

Before you begin

Important: If you completed the tasks in the security-hardening article Sametime 9.0.1 Security Considerations and removed port 9080 from the default port list, you must temporarily restore that port before attempting to upgrade the server. Failure to restore this port will cause the upgrade to fail as described in the IBM tech noteSecurity Hardening of Sametime servers which recommends closing of port 9080 results in future failing upgrades for SSC and Community Servers. After you finish upgrading the deployment, you can remove port 9080 again.

Procedure

Complete the following steps on every Sametime Community Server in your deployment:
  1. On the computer where you will upgrade the Sametime Community Server, log on as root (Linux™) or the system administrator (Windows™).
  2. Stop both the Sametime Community Server and the Domino® server by running the following commands:
    • AIX® or Linux
      1. Return to the terminal session where Domino was started.
      2. If the prompt character > is not present, press the Enter key once to be presented with the prompt character.
      3. Type exit and press Enter.
    • Windows
      1. Click Start > Administrative Tools > Component Services.
      2. In the Services dialog box, click Services (Local).
      3. Right-click Sametime server and then click Stop.
  3. Back up the following files according to platform:

    AIX or Linux

    • /local/notesdata/vpuserinfo.nsf
    • /local/notesdata/names.nsf
    • /local/notesdata/stconfig.nsf
    • /local/notesdata/STRunTimeDebugTool.jar
    • /local/notesdata/sametime.ini
    • /local/notesdata/UserInfoConfig.xml

    Windows

    • vpuserinfo.nsf - C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data
    • names.nsf - C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data
    • Stconfig.nsf - C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data
    • STRunTimeDebugTool.jar - C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Domino
    • sametime.ini - C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Domino
    • UserInfoConfig.xml - C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Domino
    Note: The Community Server is installed in the following location: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Domino
  4. Download the FP1 update for this server from IBM Fix Central.
  5. Extract the package.
  6. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the package and start the installation program by running the following command:
    • AIX

      ./setupaix.bin

    • Linux

      ./setuplinux.bin

    • Windows

      demo32.exe runs if autorun is on; otherwise, enter this command:

      setupwin32.exe

  7. Select a language and click OK.
  8. Click Next.
  9. When the message appears stating that a Community Server is already installed, click Upgrade an Existing Instance.
  10. Select the Sametime Community Server deployment plan that you will use now, and then click Next.

  12. When installation is complete, click Finish.
  13. Replace the following files with the backed up versions of those files from step 3:
    • vpuserinfo.nsf
    • names.nsf
    • STRunTimeDebugTool.jar
    • Stconfig.nsf
    • sametime.ini
