Introduction
This document describes the steps to deploy a Sametime9 (single node)
deployment on AIX® 7.1 systems showing the GUI content during the configuration phase
for each of the components. It also provides information on the preparation of the
environment prior to installation of Sametime and information on common problems
encountered during the deployment process.
Prerequisites
Using SMIT (System Manager Interface Tool)
Before deploying Sametime9 on AIX there are various administrative tasks that may
be necessary such as alterations to memory, or installation of certain packages or fixes
that may be needed in AIX. SMIT is an administrative application that can be used to alter
the sizes of the logical partitions and volumes in the AIX file system, and also to change
the paging space on the AIX system. An example of where SMIT has been used in
deployment of AIX is where the sizes of logical partitions need to be modified to create
sufficient memory on the file system for Sametime server builds and for installations.

tab down to the mount point e.g. /tmp and hit enter.
This will display a field showing the number of units of 512 byte blocks.
Increase/decrease this number accordingly to increase/decrease the size of the partition.
Update the figure for the number of units and hit enter to apply the changes.
Then hit F10.
On the command line observer the size of the partition has changed with
# df -g
This will display all the file system sizes conveniently in GigByte blocks.
The logical volume for paging space in AIX is usually 'hd6'. To see the paging space that is
available enter the following command:
# lsps -a
# lsps -a
Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type Chksum
hd6 hdisk0 rootvg 512MB 66 yes yes lv 0
To display the information for the logical volume enter the following command:
# lslv hd6
LOGICAL VOLUME: hd6 VOLUME GROUP: rootvg
LV IDENTIFIER: 00c50f7700004c0000000142c87bd924.2 PERMISSION: read/write
VG STATE: active/complete LV STATE: opened/syncd
TYPE: paging WRITE VERIFY: of
To increase the size of swap space, increase the value for the logical partition number, LP.
e.g. to increase LP by 8.
chps -s 8 hd6
To reduce the size of paging space, decrease the value for the logical partition number, LP.
chps -d 2 hd6
Select "Download Updates Now (Easy)" -> "Download All Latest Fixes"
then enter yes to proceed
This downloads the .bff files to /usr/sys/inst.images/installp/ppc by default.
Note: if this does not work responding with a response such as "Cannot write password file /.vnc/passwd"
then try:
# mkdir /.vnc
# /opt/freeware/bin/vncpasswd /.vnc/passwd
Password:
Verify:
#
List vnc processes to see what port to access using your vnc client..
e.g.
ps -ef | grep vnc
root 4587530 1 0 11:46:52 pts/0 0:00 Xvnc :1 -deskt
Login to the LPAR using UltraVNC (or other VNC) specifying server at port 1.
e..g ares-lpar10.mul.ie.ibm.com:1
and enter the vnc password that was set from above.
The latest verions of these can be obtained from IBM. Upload these packages to the AIX server.
Once the size of the logical partitions are ok (from SMIT procedure above) extract the IBM Installation
package:
# unzip agent.installer.aix.gtk.ppc_1.6.2000.zip
Installing IBM Installation Manager can be done using console mode Reference [2] and Reference [3].
Install IBM Installation Manager in all AIX servers where it is required.
To launch IM successfully install the GTK libraries (see Reference [4]), verify any verisons of these
packages that already exist are uninstalled. Here is the list of libraries (run them in the order below):
Upload the rpms to the server and install using rpm *.rpm (Reference [4])
# cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse
# ./launcher
Install DB2
Upload DB2 (v10.1) build to AIX system and begin installation. See Reference [5].
Start setup.
./db2setup
Click Install New
Click Next
Accept license agreement and click Next.
When DB2 installation has been completed you should verify that DB2 has been
successful installed in the post installatons steps. You should run the db2val script to
check the status of the installation, /opt/IBM/db2/V10.1_01/bin/db2val (see below).
Check the log file mentioned also for any errors/warnings.

Click LTPA
Export keys, this will create the LTPA key file at the specified location on the SSC.
Note: To import the LTPA Token one can use an IBM Domino Administrator client on
another machine e.g. a windows machine. To do this the admin.id file is copied over from
the AIX machine to that windows machine. This is the admin.id file that was saved during
the Domino server setup. It is located in /local/notesdata/.
If the primary Domino server does not have an IBM Admin client installed it may therefore be
desirable to use an IBM Admin client on another platform like windows for example. This can be
done to configure SSO and to register a secondary domino server. To do this:
1. Logon to a windows box that has IBM Domino Admin client installed.
2. Launch IBM Domino Admin and login as Admin user.
3. Copy over the admin.id file from the primary domino server (/local/notesdata) and store it on
the file system of the windows box hosting Domino Admin. Place it on the desktop for
convenience.
4. In Domino Admin choose File → Security → Switch ID
5. Navigate to the admin.id file on the desktop and click Open.
6. Now go to File → Open Server and under Select a server to administer, enter in the ipaddress
of the primary (AIX) Domino server. Click OK. The server is now added to the list of
administered servers in Domino Admin.
Open names.nsf
4. Copy over the cert.id from the same location on the primary domino server (local/notesdata)
and store it on the windows desktop.
5. On the right hand side select Registration dropdown list and choose server. Enter in the Server
<primary server>/ibm and path to the Certifier ID on the desktop. Click OK.
6. Enter in the certifier password. It was defined during the Domino setup for the primary node.
Click OK.
Click Next
Click Next
Create a new cluster if one does not exist, or select an existing one.
Click Next
Click Next
Click Next
Wait a few minutes for the status for secondary node to update.
Click Finish
Common Problems
IF a db2inst (instance user)is used to run the script... ./createSCDb.sh STSC db2inst2
AND during the SSC installion (at the Common Configurations phase "Configure DB for
the
System Console" user DB2ADMIN (default)is specified for Application User Id, the install
will succeed..but
Problem:
1. Try to connect to SSC database.. Sametime Prerequisites -> Connect to DB2 databases
as db2admin or db2instX (instance user) results in:
AIDSC1352E: Unable to access the Sametime System Console database.
Solution:
Go to Resources -> JDBC -> Data Sources.
Test the connections for the resources that are availble. if ok then
Select each data Source e.g. sscScheduler and select JAAS - J2C authentication data.
Click on the resource and change the database alias to instance user.
Repeat for all relevant Data Sources.
Finally: restart the node agent and App server for SSC.
Login again and it should be possible to connect to the database as instance user.
For more info:
see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21611878
if the /opt directory has sufficient space, check the swap space also:
e.g.
# lsps -a
Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type Chksum
hd6 hdisk0 rootvg 512MB 66 yes yes lv 0
increase swap space (probably hd6 as above). See Increasing Paging Space (Swap
Space)
e.g. chps -s 8 hd6
if you receive an error:
0516-404 allocp: This system cannot fulfill the allocation request.
then you may need to decrease some other volume in rootvg to free up space for hd6.
For example chfs -a size=-10G /tmp (/tmp or other mountpoint with free space)
then try chps -s <nof_PPs> hd6
and it should create more swap space.

retry installation of SSC, (may also need to uninstall WAS first)
Solution:
The ./install script makes calls to setupAix.bin and setup.jar in the ./tools
subdirectory.. The permissions on these files was -rw-------
when I turned on the executable bit on these files it works then..
-rwx------ 1 root system 31240115 Mar 9 2013 setupAix.bin
-rwx------ 1 root system 742213540 Mar 9 2013 setup.jar
When using a Graphical Desktop to logon to the Domino server, the following
steps are required to set up Domino:
1. Change to user 'notes', su notes
2. cd /local/notesdata where the notes.ini is located.
3. Start Domino9 setup: /opt/ibm/domino/bin/server
Problem:
When attempting to start Domino after installation the following error message
may appear:
”Please edit your shell's DISPLAY environment variable to reflect an
unlocked terminal that you would like to launch the Domino Setup
Program on”.
Solution:
1. Logon as root
2. Add server to the ACL: /usr/lpp/X11/bin/xhost ares-lpar28.mul.ie.ibm.com
Response: ares-lpar28.mul.ie.ibm.com being added to access control list
3. Switch to user notes and then cd /local/notesdata
4. Export display: export DISPLAY=ares-lpar28.mul.ie.ibm.com:1
5. /opt/ibm/domino/bin/server
Result: Domino server setup wizard should now start up.
When installing WebSphere Application Server (for AIX) through the IBM Installation Manager GUI, at the
page "Install Packages" one is required to specify the installation directory for WAS.
Note that it may default to /usr/IBM/Websphere/AppServer. This is acceptable.
But it is nonetheless advisable to modify it to /opt/IBM/Websphere/AppServer if desirable.
