Validating the Sametime Video Manager installation

Validate that the IBM® Sametime® Video Manager is installed correctly by verifying that solidDB® is running on the Video Manager and that two processes are running on each replica server.

Procedure

On the computer on which the Sametime Video Manager is installed, open a command window.
Verify that solidDB is running on the Video Managers by entering the following command:

ps auxf | grep -v WebSphere | egrep --color 'solid|prop'

The primary node has only the solidDB process running. Replicas have two processes: propagate_1.sh and propagate_2.sh.

If you only deployed one Video Manager, this task is complete. If you deployed two or more Video Managers, proceed to the next step.
Validate that the database is replicating properly by completing the following steps:
1. Log in to the Sametime System Console.
2. Test replication by adding a new Video MCU Pool to one server by completing the following steps:
  1. Click Sametime Servers > Sametime Video Manager Servers.
  2. Select the Video Manager you are validating.
  3. Click Configure the Video MCU.
  4. Click Add New Video MCU Pool.
  5. Specify a Video MCU pool name and a Video MCU pool description.
  6. From the Available Video MCUs list, select one or more Video MCUs to add to the pool you are creating. Click Add to add them to the Selected Video MCUs list.
  7. Click OK.
3. Verify that the new Video MCU Pool was replicated by completing the following steps:
  1. Click Sametime System Console > Sametime Servers > Sametime Video Manager Servers.
  2. Select the Video Manager you on which you are validating the replication of the Video MCU pool.
  3. Click Configure the Video MCU.
  4. Look for the replicated Video MCU name in the Video MCU Pool Name list.
  5. Click Back to exit.
4. Remove the new Video MCU pool that you created to test replication by completing the following steps:
  1. Click Sametime System Console > Sametime Servers > Sametime Video Manager Servers.
  2. Select the Video Manager from which you are removing the new Video MCU pool.
  3. Click Configure the Video MCU.
  4. Select the Video MCU pool you are removing, and click Delete. Click OK.
5. On the other Video Manager, remove the replicated Video MCU pool. For instructions, see steps 3.i.1 - 3.i.4.
6. Enter the following command on one line:
  
  grep env /install_root/AppServer/profiles/PROFILE_NAME/installedApps/CELL_NAME/VMGRLoadBalancer.ear/VMGRLoadBalancer.war/WEB-INF/loadbalancer.properties
  
  Each node displays the following result: sc-env=false. If sc-env=true, the Video Manager load balancer does not work, and all load is sent to the primary node.
7. Validate the solidDB configuration to prevent having space issues by entering the following command:
  
  ls -lh /opt/solidDB/soliddb-7.0/eval_kit/standalone/*.db | wc -l
  
  There should be 20 files on each node.
  
  Note: The wc -l in the command line counts the files. If you don't want to count files, omit wc -l from the command.
  
  The maximum size of one database file should be 2000 MB.
8. Verify the database file size in the solid.ini file by entering the following command:
  vim /opt/solidDB/soliddb-7.0/eval_kit/standalone/solid.ini
  
  In the [Index File] section of the solid.ini file, information for 20 files displays as shown in the following example:
```
FileSpec_1=solid.db 2000M
...
FileSpec_20=solid20.db 2000M
```
