Agenda● Top Installation and Configuration Issues
● Question & Answer Session

#2. Selecting the Domino Server version ● Sametime 8.5 requires
▬ Domino 8.0.2▬ Domino 8.5 ▬ Domino 8.5.1*
▬ Domino 32-bit version only▬ IPv4/IPv6 (exception Windows 2003 IPv6 only)

#3. Setting up the LDAP Repository ● Microsoft Active Directory
▬ Error in Installation Manager Logs: “logs\ant”[exec] [wplc-create-federated-ldap-repositorycom.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.WIMConfigurationException: CWWIM5015E Login properties are not
valid: [mail, saMAccountName].[exec] [wplc-create-federated-ldap-repository] at
com.ibm.ws.wim.config.ConfigValidator.validateLoginProperties(ConfigValidator.java:568)
▬ Specify “uid” instead of “samAccountName”▬ LDAP Prerequisite plan “mail; cn; uid”

#4. Setting up the LDAP Repository ● Domino LDAP
▬ If you specify a 'blank' base DN, users may not be able to create or find meeting rooms
▬ This happens after new Meeting Policies have been created/defined
▬ A Hotfix is available to resolve this issue

#5. Installation of Cell/Nodes● Terminology
▬ Cell▬ Virtual Container that can contain one or more nodes▬ Call be distributed among multiple servers▬ All servers in a cell are managed through a single Integrated System Console (ISC)
▬ Node▬ Virtual container that contains a node agent and multiple application servers▬ Each physical server may host multiple nodes
▬ Server▬ Java process which is responsible for serving J2EE requests and applications ▬ Can not span multiple nodes / cells
▬ Cluster▬ Virtual units that group multiple servers that host the same applications▬ Can span multiple nodes

#5. Installation of Cell/Nodes● Acceptable Configurations
▬ Multiple cell components installed on the same server
● Unacceptable Configurations▬ Multiple Primary/Secondary Nodes installed on the same server▬ Primary/Secondary node installed on a server hosting another Sametime component.

#7. Server Components – Post Registration to the System Console
● Post Registration Utilities are located in the /console directory of your installation
▬ console.properties▬ productConfig.properties▬ registerProduct.bat▬ Deployment Plan and Pre-Requisite Considerations▬ Sametime System Console server must be running▬ Use a Command Prompt !

#9. Audio/Video Architecture Changes● Using Sametime 8.0.2 Clients in a Sametime 8.5 environment
▬ Peer-to-Peer video chat still functions▬ Will not be able to use AV in Sametime 8.5 Meetings▬ Old A/V architecture available in Sametime Classic.
● Limitations▬ All A/V chat in Sametime 8.5 clients require Sametime Connect
and Media Manager▬ Does not work in NAT environments
