4. Introduction
This document
●
Describes how to implement, in a very fast way, the infrastructure for a small
deployment of a IBM Sametime 9 Complete environment.
●
It is designed for a Proof of Concept, Proof of Technology or a small test pilot
deployment only.
●
It does not contain information how to implement a high available infrastructure.
●
You can start with this document just to "make your bosses happy". But to make the
system available for a larger number of users, it is recommended to invite IBM
Services to plan and implement a clustered IBM Connections infrastructure in your
organization that is fully supported.
●
The Author has tested this scenario with the hardware specification and software
components described in this document.
●
The content in this guide is taken mostly from the official Product Documentation. It is
reduced to what your really need and extended with some additional information and
experiences.
●
You can use the official IBM support channels for any issue you raise when you use
just this document to install your IBM Sametime servers. All instructions in this
document are based on the official documentation wiki.
●
You need IBM Sametime Complete licenses to download the code from Passport
Advantage and to install and use this software.

56. Sametime System Console (SSC)
●
●
●
●
A web-based application that provides a central location for installing,
configuring, administering, and monitoring the Sametime family of products
SSC is now a mandatory component. ST9 deployments with no SSC are not
supported
Used to administer the new Video Manager and MCU components
Should be the first Sametime component to install, then create plans in install
other components using Guided Activity

57. IBM Sametime System Console
– No install/reinstall of IBM DB2® (for example) for
each separate offering
●
Centralize configuration.
– Setup & testing of things like LDAP centralized in
a single location, instead of various wizards in
different installers
●
Facilitate deployment planning.
– Mechanism to plan the Sametime server
deployment
– Installation of server nodes is simpler, as the
shared configuration already exists. Server
installers are “headless”, and need no input
from user
●
Sametime System Console
– System console manages all needed info for
prerequisite components

58. Community Server
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Provides fundamental presence and chat services to all Sametime components
and applications. Communication with the Community Server is performed
using the VP (Virtual Places) protocol. Places, a multi-user session service, are
used in multi-way chats and in all audio/video calls
The Community Server is required for Sametime Conference only if audio and
video is used or if awareness is enabled in the conference. If you only use
Sametime Conference without audio and video and without awareness
information, the Community Server is not required
Community Server can be installed without the System Console, but after install
it must be registered with the System Console
Classic meetings are removed and no longer supported
Legacy policies (stpolicy.nsf) are no longer supported
Community Server with native Domino directory support added in SSC
Community Server that uses native Domino Directory must be registered with
SSC

59. Mux Server
●
●
A Mux (multiplexer) server installed on a separate computer removes the
connection-handling load from the Community Server. A stand-alone Mux
enables the Community Server to handle a larger number of users and improve
its stability
Use of a Mux Server in front of the Community Server for authentication and
scaling can increase capacity significantly

71. Media Manager (CF+SP/R)
SIP Proxy and Registrar
●
Manages location services and forwards SIP messages to their destinations
●
The SIP Proxy/Registrar maintains the registry between all users and their
location, and maintains the registration of conferences. The SIP Proxy/Registrar
routes all SIP messages inside Sametime - every voice or video message to a
user goes through the SIP Proxy/Registrar
●
Components that know to consult the registrar: Sametime Media Manager, SIPbased calling, and Sametime Unified Telephony
●
It requires access to LDAP
Conference Manager
●
Administers all conferences, including point-to-point and multipoint
●
The Conference Manager works with the client to establish a SIP session for the
call
●
Hosts the internal Telephony Conferencing Service Provider Interface (TCSPI)
adapter and an optional external TCSPI adapter
●
The TCSPI integrates with the Video MCUs and bridges
●
Works with the client to establish the SIP session for the call
●
Manages the state of audio and video calls
●
All audio and video features, both one-to-one A/V chat and multi-way A/V chats,
depend on this component

72. Video Manager – New To Sametime 9
●
●
●
The Video Manager manages the scaling and distribution of audio and video conferences,
through MCU pools and cascading. It also manages attributes for conferences, such as
maximum line-rate. The Video Manager must be installed on its own machine
The Sametime Video Manager is responsible for the following tasks:
●
Multi-way audio and video conferencing (requires Sametime Conferencing)
●
Multimedia transport and bandwidth control
●
Call server routing based on dial plan
●
Creates meeting rooms based on template
Linux only (RHEL or SLES), stand alone server
●
Uses WebSphere, but not it's SIP stack
●
Uses Cloud DB rather than DB2 for size

73. Video Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) – New To Sametime 9
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
The Video MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) enables multi-way, audio and video conferences
with continuous presence and multiple client layouts. Serves as a switch for scalable
audio- and video-streams, delivering to different clients the streams that have been
requested. The Video MCU must be installed on its own machine
Non-WebSphere server with no Java requirements at runtime
Non-Installation Manager install, simple RPM-based install
Origins in telephony world – has very specific hardware requirements
VMCU server is a standalone node (no federation, no WAS concepts)
VMCU scaling is farm-based. Multiple VMCUs (no limit) can be added to a VMGR.
Linux only (RHEL or SLES), stand alone server
●
High system requirements
●
Demo environment needs 4 CPU cores, 8GBs ram minimum

on policy, load and user proximity
●
Can be clustered for scalability and
reliability
●
Fronted by a load balancer
●
Connections assigned to nearest
node at run-time with the ability to
fail-over to alternate nodes when
necessary
●
Supports disaster-recovery
topologies across geographies

different
© 2010 IBM Corporation
75. Video Manager & MCU Challenges
●
●
●
●
For Sametime 9, the new video components are stand alone servers that cannot be
combined on one box or with other boxes
A complete Sametime 9 PoC now requires three servers whereas an 8.5.x pilot
could deploy on one server
●
ST9 + VMGR + VMCU
The Video Manager and Video MCU are both Linux images
●
Cannot run on Windows, several Linux dependencies
The Video MCU requires eight CPU cores & 8GBs of ram to install
●
The above are low capacity specs, a demo can run with 4 cores, 8GBs ram
●
High capacity specs – 16 CPU cores, 12GBs of memory
●
Numbers of cores directly affects concurrent A/V participants
●
Acts solely as a packet switcher, mixing done on the client

76. Video Manager & MCU Advantages
●
●
●
●
●
●
Sametime 9 Video Manager and Video MCU provide modern video capabilities and
codecs
●
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
●
SVC (Scalable Video Coding, extension of AVC)
Highly scalable across locations and geographies

80. Sametime Audio/Video for External Users
●
●
●
We need to enable External clients for:
●
NAT Traversal
●
Firewall Traversal
●
SIP Registration
We do this by deploying:
●
Sametime TURN Server
●
Sametime SIP EDGE Proxy
How do web client users get Media Services?
●
When you enable the Meeting Services for awareness through STProxy
●
The Sametime Proxy server provides the “web av” client plugin to the end user
●
IF awareness is working
●
AND a conference Manager has connected to the Community Server the user is
connected to (through STproxy)

89. Other requirements
●
●
●
●
●
●
Make sure that all servers you want to use can be resolved in DNS.
If DNS is not available then list all full qualified server names and IP addresses
from all servers in the hosts file and publish this file to all servers.
The Media Manager Server does not work when installing with a DNS alias. You
must configure the full qualified machine host name (including domain part)
and use this for the installation. This name does not need to be configured
anywhere else and the client does not see it.
If you use Windows 2008 as Operating System, then you need to start all
installations and configurations in „Administrative mode“.
You need a LDAP Server hosting your user base. This can be a Domino LDAP or
Microsoft Active Directory or any other supported V3 LDAP.
In this POC/test deployment we assume that all servers and clients are in the
same network and no firewall can block any traffic. This includes client firewalls
who needs to be switched off during testing. In the official
Product Documentation you can find information about ports to be opened in
the firewall if you want to use the installation across firewalls.
Social Business

90. Other requirements (continued)
●
●
●
●
If your Operating System settings is not English, then it is recommended to
change the regional settings and language to English.
Check the Date and Time settings of all servers you want to install. The time
difference has to be less then 1 minute. Or the federation step fails during the
installation. We recommend to configure a time server synchronization on all
boxes.
Check that the “SELINUX” parameter is set to “disabled” in all LINUX boxes.
This can be found in “/etc/sysconfig/selinux”.
Check that the hosts file (can be found in “/etc/hosts” does not contain an entry
with the IP address “127.0.0.1” and your host name of the box. The Federation
will fail. Remark this line or remove it.

99. IBM Sametime 9 Complete - our POC / Test recommendation
Compared with the last version of this document installing IBM Lotus
Sametime 8.5.2, we have changed again our recommendation for a
POC / test deployment.
The reason for the change is the availability of new features in
installation methods as well as our increased experience and many
successful installations using this method in the last months.
It is known that implementing several components, who provides web
services on one box, require special network configuration. The
services needs to be bind to dedicated IP addresses or ports. This
configuration is described fully and detailed later here in the
document.
The Sametime Advanced Server in this POC / test deployment is
optional.

101. Special IP configuration for the WebSphere based Server
As described before you should configure the machine hosting the
WebSphere based servers with 1 IP address and 4 DNS entries.
In this slide deck we use:
Host Name:
sametime.renovations.com
IP:
192.168.30.6
This is the machines Host name. With this name we install the DB2
Server, the Sametime System Console and the Sametime Media
Manager
DNS Alias:
meeting.renovations.com
IP:
192.168.30.6
With this address we install the Sametime Meeting Server
DNS Alias:
webchat.renovations.com
IP:
192.168.30.6
With this address we install the Sametime Proxy Server

103. Required technical users for IBM Sametime 9
IBM Sametime requires some technical users for components to
communicate in an authenticated mode. All of this users should be
configured so that the password never expires and never needs to be
changed.
db2admin
This user is created during installation of the DB2 server in the
Operating System. Do not create this user in advance.
It is the user for all IBM Sametime related components using DB2 to
access their databases. Be sure to match the password policy
requirements of the OS.
wasadmin
This is the user to access the IBM WebSphere components and to
administer the system. This user must not exist in your LDAP directory.
It is created during WebSphere installation in a local file repository. You
can use the same user name and password for all components (makes
it easier) or different names and passwords. But again, it does not work
when this user exists in the LDAP.

104. Required technical users for IBM Sametime 8.5.2 (cont)
Domino Administrator
This user is created during installation of Domino for the IBM Sametime
Community Server. It is a best practice to not use a existing
administrative account because it is the account with that the IBM
Sametime System Console communicates with the Community Server.
LDAP Bind
This is a user account in your LDAP directory. This account is used to
connect in authenticated mode to the LDAP server to get all required
attributes. It is possible to connect anonymously to the LDAP but then it
does not work with some LDAP systems or the LDAP server requires
special configuration to allow anonymous bind.

105. Starting and stopping the WebSphere based Server
In this POC / test deployment we install and configure all WebSphere
based Sametime servers using a single Cell. Then it is easy to
administer all of them using just one administrative interface. (The
Integrated Solutions Console of the Sametime System Console)
With Sametime 8.5.1 the services where created automatically for all
servers because we used for all of them a separate “Cell Profile”
deployment. Starting with IBM Sametime 8.5.2 we use the Network
deployment method by implementing all servers as a Primary Node
federated to the Deployment Manager of the Sametime System
Console Server in just one Cell.
Using this method the installer does not create some services in the
Windows operating system. We need to manually create these
services. All the required steps are described in detail, later in this
slide deck.

106. Audio/Video Plug-In for Browser access to Meeting Rooms
The IBM Sametime WebAV Plug-In is shipped with the Media Manager in
two formats.
1.) Download Version
This version files needs to be copied onto a Web Server that can be
accessed by the Browser from the client who want to access the Meetings
using Audio and Video services. This could be the Domino based
Sametime Community Server, the Sametime Proxy Server or the Sametime
Meeting Server or any other web server in your organization.
In this POC / test deployment recommendation we use the Sametime Proxy
server for this service. (This is default)
To download and install this Plug-In it is required to have Administrative
access rights on Windows 7. With all other OS the user right is enough
2.) Deployment Version
This version can be deployed using your preferred deployment tool. It
contains a MSI installer file. But be careful in some operating systems as
Windows 7, it is required to install this version with administrative rights.

116. STEP 1a: Setup an LDAP Server
Summary
This step installs or identifies the LDAP server containing the User
directory you want to use for your Sametime implementation.
Social Business
116

117. The LDAP Server
In most environments a LDAP server is already present. If you use Domino it is simple to
just enable LDAP on one of the Domino Directory Servers. If you use an existing LDAP
Server other than Domino, it is important to use a V3 compliant LDAP.
Make sure you have all relevant data from the LDAP system. (use ldapsearch, Apache
LDAP studio or another LDAP browser to get the relevant LDAP information - an LDIF
extract of a user and a group)
A security related recommendation is to have a Bind DN. This means a user record in
the LDAP that can be used for authenticated access to the data in the LDAP server. We
use the „LDAP Bind“ user in this example.
This is a technical user. His password should never expire. Otherwise the systems can
not connect to the LDAP server anymore when this password is expired.
The LDAP connection can be configured with SSL encryption. To configure your
Sametime Servers connecting to LDAP with SSL (LDAPS), additional steps are
required. Make sure that you have access to the required certificate. But we recommend
to start without SSL and when all components work, start implementing LDAPS.
In this example we use an existing Domino LDAP Server. If you plan to use other LDAP
servers then step 7 can be different, dependent on the used LDAP directory.
See the Sametime Product Documentation for more details.
More Information and recommendations can be found in the Product Documentation.

155. Important to know...
Your DB2 Database Server is a sensitive component in your Sametime
Environment.
It stores all the predefined configuration data and holds the information how to
communicate with your servers for administration and maintenance.
We highly recommend to make regularly a backup of your DB2 database using a
DB2 aware backup software, or export data and backup the exported data.
It is possible to implement your DB2 Server for high availability and load balancing
using DB2 methods.
For more information check into the DB2 InfoCenter, or download and read the
RedBook „High Availability and Disaster Recovery Options for DB2 on
Linux, UNIX, and Windows“
The steps to create a DB2 database need the database name as a
command line parameter. We would recommend using a CMD command
line window to enter this commands.

196. Enter the command “createSCDb.bat STSC db2admin”.
The name of the database should not be the name of the Sametime System Console Server. If
your SSC is named „stsc.renovations.com“ then you can not name the database STSC. Then
you need to use another name for example „STSCDB“. In this example we use
„meeting.renovations.com“. So we don't have any issue with the Database Name „STSC“.

197. The DB2 database is now created and configured. Be sure that you see „The
SQL command completed successfully.“ response after every command.
If you don't see this responses or get an error message, be sure that your DB2
server is up and running (listening on Port 50.000 or 50.001) and you are
authenticated with the correct user and password.

198. If corporate policy prevents the DB2 application user ID from having administrator rights to
the DB2 server, perform these additional steps after creating the database and before
installing the Sametime System Console.
Connect to the system console database (for example, STSC). Then enter the
createSchedTable.ddl command to create additional tables in the database.
Run these commands in the DB2 command line window:
“db2 connect to STSC”
“db2 -tf createSchedTable.ddl”
“db2 disconnect STSC”

Server
Summary
This step installs the Sametime System Console Server.
Before you begin
1. If the computer where you will install the Sametime System Console supports both
IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, map the addresses to the same host name to generate
matching SSL certificates.
2. Check the hosts file and remove any lines that start with the following:
●
127.0.0.1 fully_qualified_domain_name short_name
●
::1 fully_qualified_domain_name short_name
3. An issue with WebSphere® Application Server causes the server installation to fail
if these lines are in the file. Save the file if you make changes.

215. Important to know...
If you plan to use the IBM Lotus Sametime System Console, you should install this part
first. But it is possible to add an already installed Sametime Server to the System
Console for managing and administration. This can be done with every new Sametime
component.
By the way, if you lose your already installed System Console server, you can revert it
back by installing a new one and add the already installed Sametime components to it
using post install registration utilities. Can be found in <product install root>/console
directory)
Be sure to make a backup of all related data and files (DB2 and WebSphere) because
it is much faster to restore a backup if a failure occurs.
You will see that it is worth to learn about the Sametime System Console and use it
very soon!

Prerequisite.
Summary
In this step you configure the LDAP connectivity in the Sametime System
Console. This is used for the Sametime Community Server installation as
well as in the Sametime Meeting Server and Media Manager installation.
You can change this LDAP connectivity later. But this will not apply to any
Deployment Plan or to any already installed server. Any changes needs to
be done in the servers configuration directly. (Community, Meeting,
Media) This is only for the first installation of the servers before creating
the Deployment Plan.

the Port 389. Other LDAP Systems use
maybe use other ports.
- Do not use the secure connection
unless you have imported the certificate
from the LDAP server.
- The Bind Distinguished Name should
be the full qualified Distinguished Name
(DN) of the Bind user.
