3 WebSphere Demystified A Typical Sametime Administrator has good Domino skills is scared about WebSphere Is this true? WebSphere has many similar concepts They just "look" or "sound" different We try to map concepts in this session But be aware: They are different...! In this session we use the term "WebSphere" or "WAS" as synonym for WebSphere Application Server - just one product of many in the IBM WebSphere Brand IBM Corporation

4 Characteristics of Domino IBM proprietary Server platform IBM proprietary Database format -.NSF -.NTF Clustering Partitioning Topology (Hub/Spoke) Platform for many applications Notes Mail Notes Team Rooms Notes other (customized) applications QuickR Domino Sametime Community Services & Classic Meetings HTTP Server included SMTP Mail Server included IBM Corporation

5 Characteristics of WebSphere WebSphere is a Platform for many applications Portal Connections Quickr J2EE Sametime Gateway Sametime 8.5 new components WebSphere Application Server provides standards based interfaces and middleware, for instance SQL Databases (DB2, Oracle,...)

9 What you see in an IBM WebSphere training IBM Corporation

10 WebSphere Application Server Terms Cell - Grouping of nodes into a single administrative domain, all nodes are administered from a deployment manager server. Node - Logical group of server-managed processes that share a common configuration repository. Application Server - Supports and hosts user applications. Runs on only one node, can support many applications. Deployment Manager Allows the administration of multiple nodes from one centralized location. Node Agent - Works with the deployment manager to perform administrative activities on the node IBM Corporation

11 WebSphere Application Server Terms Integrated Solutions Console Provides a single, common interface for system administration. Provides the main platform on which IBM and non-ibm products can build administrative user interfaces as individual plug-ins to a common console framework. Federation Process by which a node becomes part of a cell A node agent server is created on the node to manage the WebSphere Application Server environment on that node IBM Corporation

12 IBM Sametime Server Deployment based on WebSphere Application Server Cell Node Deployment Manager Node Node Agent Integrated Solutions Console Application Servers IBM Corporation

13 Sametime Profiles Single Server (Primary Node) Is a fully functional WebSphere Application Server It can contain one or more Application Servers It can host one or more Applications Has its own Integrated Solutions Console for administration Has all connectivity's and configurations it needs Has all applications it needs Its not a Cell It does not need a DMGR or Nodeagent IBM Corporation

14 Sametime Profiles Single Server (Primary Node) Integrated Solutions Console HTTP Application Server Application J2EE Platform for Application Servers and Applications LDAP Connector Database Connector IBM Corporation

15 Sametime Profiles Single Server (Secondary Node) It is an empty container It can contain one or more Application Servers It can host one or more Applications Has just the basic configurations it needs Has no applications It needs the binding into a cell to a DMGR IBM Corporation

16 Sametime Profiles Single Server (Secondary Node) HTTP Integrated Solutions Console J2EE Platform for Application Servers and Applications LDAP Connector Database Connector IBM Corporation

17 Sametime Profiles Cell Profile Creates a Deployment Manager Profile and a federated Application Server Profile Internally, 2 profiles are created Deployment Manager profile Application Server profile The Application Server is federated to the cell of the Deployment Manager. Deployment Manager and Application Server reside on the same system IBM Corporation

18 Sametime Profiles Cell Profile Cell Node Deployment Manager Node Node Agent Integrated Solutions Console Application Servers IBM Corporation

19 WebSphere Application Server Terms Cluster -A group of servers that are used for the same purpose and are identified by a single host name. Horizontal Cluster - Cluster members are on multiple nodes in a cell. Vertical Cluster - Cluster members are on the same node in a cell IBM Corporation

20 Sametime Profiles Network Deployment A Network Deployment contains DMGR Node One Primary Node Zero, One ore more Secondary Nodes The All nodes are federated to the Cell of the Deployment Manager The Primary Node installs the Application(s) and synchronizes them to the DMGR during the federation process The Secondary Node is an empty container and gets the Application(s) from the DMGR during the federation process IBM Corporation

26 DB2 What is DB2 Installation DB2 Admin User DB2 Administration Start and Stop DB2 DB2 Control Center DB2 Command Line Tools IBM Corporation

27 What is DB2 A relational Database System SQL based IBM Corporation

28 DB2 Server Installation A DB2 Administrator user account is created in the OS (on Linux 2 user accounts ) Take note the your log-in user needs to be able to create the local user The password must match the local password policies The Sametime DB2 9.7 Installer can be used on Windows 2003 and 2008 on 32 and 64 bit. DB2 is installed using the same Install Manager with that the new Sametime components are installed. It just installs the Server and administrative tools. No database is installed. On Linux you can not install DB2 using the Install Manager if no graphical interface is installed. Then use the DB2_97 Setup.exe (old method) to install IBM Corporation

29 DB2 Administration You have several ways to administer your DB2 Server On the server machine using the command line tools. On the server machine using the DB2 Control Center. Install the DB2 Control Center on your local client and connect it to the server and your databases. You have several ways to start and stop the DB2 Server To stop the DB2 Server you need to stop all applications using your databases first. You can start and stop the server using the green Icon in the task-bar (right mouse click) In the Start Menue you find entries to start and stop the server You can use the command line tools in the DB2 command window The most common way to administer your databases is the Control Center. You can add databases from other servers Remove databases Drop (Delete) databases Backup and restore Databases using the Wizzard IBM Corporation

32 IBM Rational Installation Manager - IM Eclipse run-time based program to manage entire life-cycle of product packages Installation Updates Roll Back Modification Uninstall IBM Corporation

33 IM installation Installation of IM is done automatically when the first Sametime product is installed. After installation of IM add the line -Xmx1024m in IBMIM.INI to increase the HEAP size. Otherwise the IBM Sametime product installation can fail. IM saves the installation log files in the directory C:\Users\All Users\IBM\Installation Manager\logs IM requires a minimum of 6 GB space in the temp directory to unpack the installation packages and compare them IBM Corporation

34 How does IM install a Sametime Product IM does many steps for you automatic and in the background to install your Sametime product Unpacking the WebSphere installation files Installing WebSphere base package Creating the required profiles Installing the Update Installer Installing required WebSphere fixes Installing the Sametime Product applications Configuring the connection to LDAP and Databases Configuring the Sametime Product Adding Services to the OS for automatic start and stop Federating to the DMGR if installing as a PN or SN Starting all components that the system can be used now IBM Corporation

35 The Installer first unpacks the WebSphere Application Server install files Then he installs the WebSphere Application Server binaries Then he creates the WebSphere profiles Then he installs the Update Installer Then he installs the Update to WebSphere Then he install the application and configures everything 2012 IBM Corporation

36 More things you can do with the IM With IM you can not just install a Sametime product. You can update your product to a newer release ( to or to IFR1) You can uninstall your Sametime Product You can revert back any installed fixes You can work with your Passport Advantage account to upload logs, download fixes and work with PMR's IBM Corporation

39 Tips and Tricks Make sure all the servers should be reachable from each other. Add hosts entries in all servers if not present in DNS. Do LDAP Search and get a person and group record to have all required information for your LDAP configuration. While creating databases, make sure same database is not shared between two products. Do not use the server host name as database name. Do not install Network deployment components across a Firewall. You would need to open many ports. If you use Windows 2008 as Operating System, then you need to start all installations and configurations in Administrative mode. After installation of InstallManager go to IBMIM.INI in the C:\IBM\InstallManager\eclipse directory and add the parameter -Xmx1024m to prevent memory heap overflow IBM Corporation
