Removing a Sametime Community Server from a cluster on IBM i

Before uninstalling an IBM® Sametime® Community Server that is part of a cluster administered by the Sametime System Console, remove the server from the cluster.

About this task

Follow these steps to remove the Sametime Community Server from the cluster administered with the Sametime System Console.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Community Server's sametime_server_data_directory/console directory.
  2. Update the following values in the console.properties file before saving and closing the file:
    Table 1. console.properties settings
    Property Value
    SSCHostName Provide the fully qualified host name of the Sametime System Console server.
    SSCHTTPPort Specify the HTTP port used for the Sametime System Console server if SSL is not enabled and the value for SSCSSLEnabled is "false."

    To determine the correct HTTP port, open the AboutThisProfile.txt file for the Sametime System Console Application Server Profile and use the setting specified for the "HTTP transport port." The default profile name is STSCAppProfile.

    On IBM i, look for the AboutThisProfile.txt file in the following location: /QIBM/UserData/Websphere/AppServer/version_number/SametimeWAS/profiles/STSCAppProfile/logs/AboutThisProfile.txt
    SSCUserName Enter the IBM WebSphere® Application Server User ID that you created when you installed Sametime System Console. The default is wasadmin.
    SSCPassword Enter the WebSphere Application Server password associated with the SSCUserName.
  3. Run the updateSTCluster registration utility:
    1. From an IBM i command line, run the following command to start the QShell Interpreter: QSH
    2. Navigate to the server's console directory; for example: cd /stserver/data/console.
    3. Run the shell script to unregister the cluster: updateSTCluster.sh -remove.
    4. When the utility prompts for the cluster's name, type the name and press Enter.
    5. When the utility finishes, press F3 to exit QSH.

      The utility removes the Sametime Community Server from the cluster and generates the ConsoleUtility.log file in the console/logs directory.
