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.

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

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

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

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

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

node at run-time with the ability to
fail-over to alternate nodes when
necessary
●
Supports disaster-recovery
topologies across geographies
●
Sites for clusters and pools can be
different


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

Social Business

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)

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

89


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.

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.

WebSphere based servers with 1 IP address and 4 DNS entries.
In this slide deck we use:

102


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.
Social Business

103


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.

Social Business

104


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.

Social Business

105


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.

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


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.

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.

This step installs the Sametime System Console Server.
The Sametime System Console installation requires to perform this sub tasks:
a) Create the IBM Sametime System Console database
b) Install the IBM Sametime System Console
c) Log in to the IBM Sametime System Console
d) Configure the LDAP server prerequisite
e) Increase the heap size on the Sametime System Console

Social Business

192


STEP 2a: Create a DB2 Database for the Sametime
System Console
Summary

This step creates the Sametime System Console Database on the DB2
Server.
If you want to use a dedicated DB2 server or if you already have a DB2
10.1 Server environment available, you can find the Database creation
scripts in the particular installer directory of the Sametime System
Console, Sametime Proxy Server, Sametime Advanced Server and the
Sametime Meeting Server.

Social Business

193


Open a new DB2 CMD line window because then the newly set environment variables
during the DB2 Server installation are in place. Click “Start” - “All Programs” - “IBM DB2”
- “DB2COPY1 (Default)” - “Command Window - Administrator”

Social Business

194


Enter the command “cd
InstallSametimeSystemConsoleDatabaseScriptsSystemConsole”.

Do not copy and paste any commands from this document into your CMD line. This does not
work because this would copy some special characters.
Social Business

195


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“.
Social Business

196


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.
Social Business

197


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”

Social Business

198


STEP 2b: Install the IBM Sametime System Console
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.

need to authenticate with this user to access the Sametime System Console. It is
important that this user does not exist in your LDAP. In this example we use the
standard „wasadmin“. Enter the password twice and click the „Next“ button to continue.

Social Business

210


Enter the host name of your DB2 server and the DB2 Administrator password. In this
example we have installed the DB2 server on the „sametime.renovations.com“ server.

Click the „Install“ button to install the Sametime System Console Server.

Social Business

213


The Installation Manager now installs the Sametime System Console. This
step can take approximately 10 to 15 Minutes.

Social Business

214


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!

STEP 3b: Install the IBM Sametime Community
Server
Summary
In this step you install the IBM Lotus Sametime Community Server using the Sametime
System Console.
Before you can start the installation you need to quit the Lotus Domino Server.

Social Business

275


Click “File” - “Stop Server...” in the Lotus Domino Console.

Social Business

276


Confirm the server stop by clicking the “Yes” button.

Social Business

277


Now click “File” and “Exit”.

Social Business

278


Check the check box to stop the Server Controller and click the “Yes” button.

Social Business

279


When the Domino Console has disappeared you can open a File Explorer window and
navigate to the installation directory. In this example we use:
„C:InstallSametimeStandardServerServer“.
Then double click the file „setupwin32.exe“

Social Business

280


The Lotus Install Shield Wizard is starting up.

Confirm the English language or select your preferred language for the installer. Then
click the „OK“ button.

Social Business

281



Social Business

282


Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the „Next“ button.

Social Business

283


We want to install the Sametime Community Server using the predefined Deployment
Plan in the Sametime System Console. To go this way just accept the default „Yes“
answer and click the „Next“ button.

Social Business

284


Enter the Host name of the Sametime System Console. In this example we use
„sametime.renovations.com“ because we have installed the SSC on this host.
The default port for communication is „9443“ (using SSL encryption) Port „9080“ would
be in use for un-encrypted communication. The WebSphere Administrative User and
password is required. We use our standard user name „wasadmin“. The last field is
the local host name where you want to install your Sametime Community Server.
By default it just displays the host name. Add the domain to get the full qualified host
name in the field. We use „chat.renovations.com“. Then click the „Next“ button.

Social Business

285


Select the Deployment plan that you have created for your Community Server. We
use the „Chat“ plan. Then click the „Next“ button.

Social Business

286


Crosscheck that all settings are correct. Then click the „Install“ button.

Social Business

287


The Install Shield Wizard is now installing the Lotus Sametime Community Server on
top of your existing Domino Server installation using the predefined Settings from the
Deployment Plan in the Sametime System Console. This step takes approximately 2 –
3 Minutes.

Social Business

288


The Sametime Community Server Deployment Plan Guided Activity checks the
existence of the Domino Administrator user ID and that this user can authenticate
with its HTTP password.
Therefore it is required to install the Domino Server before the Sametime
Community Server Deployment Plan is created.
It is possible to change this credentials if the Domino Administrator user changes.
This can be done in the Sametime System Console.

Social Business

289


The Sametime 9.0 Community Server reads the policy configuration from the
Sametime System Console during startup and then every hour.
(This can be configured)
The first startup of the Sametime Community Servers requires the SSC to get the
Policy configuration. Then it caches this data in the local „policies.user.xml“ file.
This can be found in the Domino program directory. This means the Sametime
Community Server can start and run even if the SSC is not available.

Social Business

290


When the installation was successfully click the „Finish“ button.

Social Business

291


Be sure “Yes, restart my computer” is selected. Then click the “Finish” button.

Social Business

292


Confirm that all Sametime related Services (HTTP JVM and Sametime Services) start
up correctly. A full start of a Sametime Server with all tasks can take up to 5 Minutes.
You can check the „Task Manager“ and there the „Processes“ view to check that all
28 Tasks starting with the letters „ST...“ are started.

293


STEP 3c: Enable Trust between the Sametime
Community Server, the Sametime Proxy Server,
the Media Manager and the Sametime Advanced
Server
Summary
In this step you configure the Sametime Community Server to trust the Sametime
proxy Server.
The Sametime Proxy Server, Media Manager and Advanced Server need to
connect to the Sametime Community Server on the Virtual Places (VP) Server
Port 1516. Normally a Sametime Community Server only allows this connection if
the connecting server is known (another Sametime Server in the same
Community) or is trusted in the Trusted IP's field in the configuration database.
Other Servers you need to trust can be BlackBerry Servers, the Sametime
Gateway, Sametime Media Manager, Sametime Advanced Server, SUT Server,
WebSphere Portal Server or other servers who want to connect using the VP
Server protocol.
Social Business

294


Open the Sametime System Console, Log in and navigate to the Sametime
Community Server by clicking on „Sametime System Console“ then „Sametime
Servers“ and then „Sametime Community Servers“.

Social Business

295


Click the link to your Community Server. We click on „Chat“ because this is our
name for the Community Server Deployment Plan. The „Edit“ link allows you to
change the authentication credentials to the Sametime Community Server (Domino
Administrator user name, password and port)

Social Business

296


The Sametime Community Server configuration screen appears. Go to the bottom of the
screen to find the „Trusted Servers“ Setting.

Social Business

297


Enter the IP address of the Server you want to allow connecting to the Sametime
Community Server. In this example we use the IP „192.168.30.6“ for the Sametime
Proxy Server and then click the “Add” Button.

Now we add the IP “192.168.30.8” for the Sametime Video Manager Server and then
click the “Add” Button.

Social Business

298


We have now added all required IP addresses for this pilot deployment. Now click
“OK” to continue.

Social Business

299


The Sametime Community Server requires a Server restart for most of the configuration
changes.

Now restart the Sametime Community Server by entering the command „restart server“
in the Domino Console window. Never use this command in a production Sametime
server because it can happen that not all Sametime tasks are stopped before the
domino server restarts. This can cause massive problems for starting the Sametime
Services. Stop your Domino Server using the “Quit” command or by stopping the
“Lotus Domino Service”. Wait until all ST... Tasks disappeared in your TaskManager.
Then restart the Domino Server again.

It takes up to 5 Minutes until the Sametime Community Server is completely
restarted and all 41 Sametime tasks are again active.

STEP 4: Install the IBM Sametime Proxy Server
Summary
This step installs the Sametime Proxy Server. It is split into these sub tasks:
a) Create the IBM Sametime Proxy Server database
b) Configure the DB2 Proxy server database connection
Prerequisite
c) Run the guided activity to configure the
d) Install the IBM Sametime Proxy Server
e) Configure virtual_host for the Proxy Server

Social Business

301


The IBM® Sametime® Proxy Server enables browser-based clients to participate in
Sametime instant messaging and online meetings. In addition, the Sametime Proxy Server
works with Sametime Community Server or IBM Connections to enable the business card
feature in Sametime, and with Sametime Unified Telephony or other TCSPI-enabled
products to enable the Sametime click-to-call feature. The Sametime Proxy Server also
provides live names awareness and can replace the Links Toolkit used in earlier releases of
Sametime. Read the system requirements to ensure that you know the minimum supported
software requirements.
Important: If you will be supporting the use of LiveNames in your Sametime deployment,
you should deploy all Sametime Meeting Servers and Sametime Proxy Servers within the
same subnet. It is suggested that you configure WebSphere® Application Server Network
Deployment with a single subnet for network traffic. You can use one Network interface card
(NIC) on a physical machine or logical partition (LPAR). You can also reference a single
Domain name system (DNS) server in the network configuration for the physical machine or
LPAR.

This step is to create and configure the DB2 Database for the Sametime Proxy
Server. This database is required to cache the Sametime messages sent to iOS
mobile devices.

Social Business

303


Start a DB2 Command Window by clicking “Start” - “All Programs” - “IBM DB2” “DB2COPY1 (Default)” - “Command Window - Administrator”.

Social Business

304


Next is to create the database in the DB2 Server. If your DB2 Server is on a separate
machine or on another machine, then you need to copy the database creation script
files to this server first. Copy the files “createProxyDb.bat” and “proxyServer.ddl” to a
directory on your DB2 Server.
In the DB2 CMD window navigate to this directory. In this Zero to Hero example we
use just “cd C:InstallIBM Sametime Proxy ServerDatabaseScriptsProxyServer”.
Then run the database creation script with the command: “createProxyDb.bat STPR
db2admin”. The term “STPR” is the name of the database and “db2admin” is the DB2
Database Server Administrator.

Server, which creates online "meeting rooms" where users can present
information and share applications. If you deploy the Sametime Media Manager,
conferences can include audio and video features as well.
To install the Sametime Meeting Server these sub tasks are required:
a) Create the IBM Sametime Meeting Server database
b) Configure the DB2 Meeting server database
c) Run the guided activity to configure the IBM Sametime
Meeting Server deployment plan
d) Install the IBM Sametime Meeting Server
e) Configure virtual_host for the Meeting Server

InstallSametimeMeetingServerDatabaseScriptsMeetingServer“ command.
Then enter the command to create the Meeting Database. We use the Database
name „STMS“ and enter the command: „createMeetingDb.bat STMS db2admin“

The name of the database should not be the name of the Sametime Meeting Server. If your
Meeting Server is named „stms.renovations.com“ then you can not name the database
STMS. Then you need to use another name for example „STMSDB“. In this example we use
„meeting.renovations.com“. So we don't have any issue with the Database Name „STMS“.
Social Business

●

Configure Base Meeting Server
A Base Meeting Server hosts online meetings.
Configure Meeting Document Converter
A Meeting Document Converter transforms files (stored in the Meeting Room
Library) for optimal display. Typically, Meeting Servers that run on Microsoft™
Windows™ do not require conversion services because documents and
presentations display clearly without any intervention.
Configure Meeting Recording Capturer
A Meeting Recording Capturer hosts the real-time recording feature for online
meetings. If you want to enable recorded meetings, then at least one Meeting
Server must be configured with this role.
Configure Meeting Recording Renderer
A Meeting Recording Renderer opens files stored by the Capture Server,
transforms them into movie files, and stores the files so that users can download
and view them.

Social Business

385


Base Meeting Server
Setting
URL for remote Recording
Capturer server

Description
Provide the URL of a Meeting Server that is
configured with the Recording Capturer role.
To support the recording feature, the Meeting Server
must communicate with the Recording Capturer
server. In small deployments, these two servers are
typically installed on the same computer and this URL
is not needed. In large deployments, best practice is
to install the Recording Capturer on a different
computer from the Base Meeting Server (the
Recording Capturer can share a computer with the
Recording Renderer), and provide this URL to enable
communications. If you deploy multiple Recording
Capturer servers, this URL points to the load balancer
that fronts them.

Social Business

386


Meeting Document Converter
A Meeting Document Converter transforms files (stored in the Meeting Room Library) for
optimal display. Document conversion is supported directly on the Meeting Server on IBM
AIX®, IBM i, Windows™, and all Linux™ servers except for those running on IBM System
z®. To ensure optimal display of files, you can deploy an additional Meeting Server and
configure it to perform the Document Converter role. Typically, Meeting Servers that run on
Microsoft™ Windows do not require conversion services because documents and
presentations display clearly without any intervention.
Setting

Description

Document Converter Server URL

Provide the URL of a Meeting Server that is
configured with the Document Converter
Server role.

Meeting Server URL

Provide the URL a Meeting Server that is
configured with the Base Meeting Server
role.
If the Document Converter Server is also
being configured with the Base Meeting
Server role, use the same URL that you
provided in the Meeting Server URL field. If
you deploy multiple Base Meeting Servers,
this URL points to the load balancer that
fronts them.

Social Business

387


Meeting Recording Capturer
A Meeting Recording Capturer hosts the real-time recording feature for online meetings. If
you want to enable recorded meetings, then at least one Meeting Server must be configured
with this role.
Setting
Capture Server URL

Description
Provide the URL of a Meeting Server that is configured
with the Capture Server role and will record online
meetings.
The Render Server uses this URL to access the
recordings and transform them into movie files that users
can view.

Maximum recording duration in
minutes

Specify the maximum allowed length of a recording.

URL of the Meeting Server that
is configured with the Base
Meeting Server role

Provide the URL a Meeting Server that is configured with
the Base Meeting Server role.
If the Capture Server is also being configured with the
Base Meeting Server role, use the same URL that you
provided in the Meeting Server URL field. If you deploy
multiple Base Meeting Servers, this URL points to the
load balancer that fronts them.

Social Business

388


Directory where Capture files
will be stored

Provide the path to the shared file system where the
Capture Server will store recorded meetings. This is the
location where you will store Capture files, which contain
recorded meetings in their raw format.
If the Capture Server and the Render Server reside on the
same computer, this location can be a directory that both
servers can access and you can provide the absolute path
here. If the servers reside on different computers, this
location must be a shared drive on the network; for
example://shareddiskserver/capture , and must be
accessible to both servers. Make sure that the drive is
available whenever the server is restarted.

User ID for Capture Server to
record meetings

Create a user ID for the Capture Server to use while
recording meetings.
Sametime meetings do not allow anonymous users, so the
Capture Server requires a valid user account to be able to
"attend" and record meetings. The user you specify here is
create only for the purposes of recording meetings and
does not need to exist in the LDAP directory.

Password for Capture Server
Social Business

Create a password for the Capture Server user ID.
389


Meeting Recording Renderer
A Meeting Recording Renderer opens files stored by the Capture Server, transforms them
into movie files, and stores the files so that users can download and view them.
Setting
Directory where Render files
will be stored

Description
Provide the path to the location where the Render Server
will store movie files.
This is the location where you will store Render files,
which are Capture files that have been transformed to
movie format. If you store the files on the computer
hosting the Render Server, provide the absolute path. If
you are using a remote storage location, make sure that it
is available whenever the Render server is restarted.

Horizontal resolution in output
movie files

Specify the width, in pixels, of the displayed recording.
The most common display resolution uses 720 pixels for
the width.

Vertical resolution in output
movie files

Specify the height, in pixels, of the displayed recording.
The most common display resolution uses 1028 pixels for
the height.

Social Business

390


Number of days that recordings
are valid for download

Specify how long recorded meetings should remain
available for users to download.
If many users record meetings, the number of stored
Render files will grow quickly. You can conserve disk space
by specifying how long each recorded meeting will be
available for users to download. When this time period
ends, the files "expire" and are eventually deleted from the
server. After the download period ends, you should plan to
archive expired recordings to another location in case users
need to retrieve them later.

Number of days until expired
recordings are deleted

Specify how long expired recordings should be saved;
when the time expires, the recordings will be deleted.
An expired recording is no longer valid for download, but
you should not delete it until you have archived it. To allow
time for archiving, specify how many days expired
recordings should be saved in the Render Server's storage
location before they are automatically deleted.

Social Business

391


Number of simultaneous
renders allowed per processor
core

Specify the number of renders that will be allowed to run at
the same time on each processor core; typically this is
limited to 2 renders on each processor core.
A render can process one recorded meeting at a time.
Allowing too few simultaneous renders limits the number of
recordings that can be transformed at once, and may result
in a backlog of unprocessed recordings. Allowing too many
simultaneous renders reduces server performance, which
can also result in a backlog of unprocessed recordings.
Choose an appropriate setting for your environment.
Remember that if there are multiple processor cores on the
Render Server, each core will allow the specified number of
simultaneous renders.

STEP 5d: Install the IBM Sametime Meeting Server

Summary
In this step you install the Sametime Meeting Server using the preconfigured
settings in the deployment plan on the Sametime System Console.

Social Business

406


In a File Explorer window navigate to the Sametime Meeting Server install directory.
„InstallSametimeMeetingServer“. Then start the Launchpad installer with a double
click on the „launchpad.exe“ file.

Social Business

407


Click the „Install IBM Sametime Meeting Server“ link.

Social Business

408


Click the „Launch IBM Sametime Meeting Server 9.0.0 Installation“ link.

Social Business

409


The Installation Manager is starting loading.

Social Business

410


Just click the „Install“ icon to start the Sametime Meeting Server installation.

Social Business

411


Check the „IBM Sametime Meetings server“ and „Version 9.0.0“ entries.
They are unchecked by default. Then click the „Next“ button.

Social Business

Social Business

413


Because we have already installed a WebSphere based Sametime Server on this box,
(The Sametime System Console) we can reuse the installed binaries. The installer
detects this and checks the „Use the existing package group“. And therefore the
path is greyed and can not be changed. Click the „Next“ button to continue.

Social Business

414


We want to use the predefined Deployment Plan from the Sametime System Console.

Social Business

button.

Social Business

421


Confirm that the validation was successful. Then click the „Next“ button.

Social Business

422


There is one important step missing. The validation does not check if the required directories
for recording and rendering exists. Create them now by opening a file explorer window.
Create the subdirectories “C:STCapture” and “C:STRender”. It is important to create
these directories manually now or the installation will fail after some seconds!!!

Social Business

423


To start the installation click the „Install“ button.

Social Business

424


The Sametime Meeting Server is now installing. This takes approximately 10 to 15
minutes.

Social Business

425


To configure LiveName integration in the Browser Meeting interface, SSO between the
Community Server and the Meeting Server is required.
The LTPA Token has to be exported from the Meeting Server and imported in the
community server. Live Name Integration works over the REST API in the Proxy Server.
You can find the required steps in the Sametime InfoCenter. We will configure this setting
when the Meeting Server, the Community Server, the Media Manager and the Proxy
Server have been installed successfully.
No Connectivity is required between the Meeting Server and the Media Manager.
Audio and Video is possible only with the Sametime Connect Client Version 8.5 or newer
(Stand alone or Notes embedded client) and with the supported Browsers using the IBM
WebAV plugin. The Sametime client first connects to the Community Server. From there it
receives the connectivity information to other servers. Then it connects to the Media
Manager with SIP protocol. The WebAV plugin connects to the Proxy Server and receives
the media manager contact information from there. Then it contacts the Media Manager
using the SIP protocol as well. If NAT is in place and the TURN server needs to be used,
then all clients contact the TURN server.

Social Business

426


The Meeting Server can be clustered using the WebSphere Network Deployment. This
can be configured and deployed with the Sametime System Console.
The new Sametime Meeting Server consists of two components.
- the Meeting Server
- the Meeting HTTP Proxy
Clustering means that a meeting room is running only on one server at a time. The
Meeting Proxy servers have the information on which Meeting Server instance the
Meeting Room is running and forward incoming requests to the right server. Meeting
data are stored only in the database. In case of a fail over the Meeting Room will be
started on another Meeting Server in the cluster immediately.
For external access a separate Sametime Meeting Server in your DMZ is recommended
for better security.

Important: If you will install the SIP Proxy/Registrar and Conference Manager components
on separate computers, you must create the SIP Proxy/Registrar's deployment plan before
you create the Video Manager's deployment plan.
The sequence for creating deployment plans depends on your Media Manager topology:
●

Separate SIP Proxy/Registrar and Conference Manager components:
1. SIP Proxy/Registrar
2. Video Manager
3. Conference Manager
4 Video MCU

●
●

Combined SIP Proxy/Registrar and Conference Manager on one computer:
