    Every server that is to be deployed as part of a IBM Traveler High Availability pool is first deployed the same way you install a stand-alone server.
  - Uninstalling IBM Traveler on Windows and Linux or AIX
    To uninstall IBM Traveler from an IBM® Domino® server on Windows or Linux or AIX, use the IBM Traveler uninstallation program.
  - Uninstalling IBM® Traveler on IBM® i
    You can remove IBM® Traveler files from a Domino® server without deleting the IBM Traveler software from your system.
- Configuring IBM Traveler server
  The IBM Traveler configuration settings are part of the Domino® server document. The first time that the IBM Traveler server is started, it performs any necessary configurations. You might want to perform additional configurations beyond the basics. The following topics describe additional configuration options.
- Administering IBM Traveler
  The IBM Traveler server component functions as a Domino® server add-in task and responds to Domino server console commands. Topics in this section describe common administrative tasks for administering a IBM Traveler server.

Upgrade considerations and overview

You can upgrade any previous version of IBM® Traveler to the current level. Before you do, understand the considerations and the general steps.

When upgrading, be sure that your operating system and Domino® server levels are supported. If you need to move to a new operating system or newer hardware, see the article Moving IBM Traveler to a new server. If upgrading the Domino® server version at the same time as upgrading the Traveler server, always perform the Domino® server upgrade first followed by the Traveler server upgrade. Here are the detailed steps if upgrading both Domino® and Traveler at the same time.

Shut down both Domino® and IBM® Traveler.
Remove TRAVELER from the ServerTasks list in the notes.ini file to prevent Traveler from starting. Leaving TRAVELER in the notes.ini can result in errors on the console due to a mismatch in version levels. These errors will continue to display until both products are upgraded.
Install the new Domino® server.
Start Domino® and allow it to complete any migration tasks.
Shut down the Domino® Server.
Install the new IBM® Traveler server (it automatically adds TRAVELER back to notes.ini)
Start the Domino® server, and IBM® Traveler starts automatically.

There are additional configuration items to consider when upgrading the IBM® Traveler server:

You can install and run Traveler on any version of Domino® that Traveler supports. Best practice is to use the latest maintenance level of the Domino® version you choose.
If you upgrade the Domino® server major version you must re-run the IBM® Traveler install to ensure proper binary files are installed. For example, if running IBM® Traveler 10.0 on Domino® 9.0.1 and you upgrade to Domino® 10.0, re-run the IBM® Traveler 10.0 installer.
It is best practice to maintain a pilot environment that can be used for upgrade and migration testing prior to upgrading the production environment.
