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.
Deploying common components
Many IBM® Sametime® servers use common components to support either an individual server or a server cluster. Installation Manager and WebSphere® Network Deployment are required prerequisites for most Sametime servers. DB2® and Sametime System Console must be installed once for the deployment. IBM Load Balancer is used in a clustered environment. Follow the instructions for each type of deployment to determine which common components you need to install.
Installing Installation Manager
Installing the WebSphere® Application Servers that host Sametime® applications requires that you install and manage IBM® Installation Manager. Download and install Installation Manager itself before attempting to install another IBM product with it.
Installing Installation Manager on AIX® or Linux™
Install IBM® Installation Manager on AIX® or Linux™ so that you can use it to install other IBM products.
