Step-by-Step instructions
Before deploying this infrastructure, the product and all related components
must be installed.
Installation
1. Prepare
LDAP .
2. Create
the features databases .
3. Create
the profiles database .
4. Install
WebSphere Deployment Manager .
5. Install
IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS). .
6. Install
IBM HTTP Server (IHS). .
7. Prepare
content storage: configure network share directories for the activities
and blogs clusters. See http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ltscnnct/v1r0/topic/com.ibm.help.lotus.connections.doc/t_activities_install_102.html
and http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ltscnnct/v1r0/topic/com.ibm.help.lotus.connections.doc/t_blogs_snapshot_dir.html .
Deployment
To enable this deployment, you need to create multiple WAS profiles, install
each feature on a WAS profile on both nodes, and then add the nodes to
the Deployment Manager.
1. Create
multiple profiles on Node 1 .
If you install all five features, you will need to create five WAS profiles
and one server process for each profile.
2. Create
multiple profiles on Node 2 by repeating step 1 to create five profiles
on Node 2 and one server process for each profile.
3. Install
Lotus Connections features on the nodes. .
4. Add
the nodes to the Deployment manager to create a cluster environment. .
5. Configure
the IBM HTTP Server to manage connections to the product. .
6. Verify
the configuration. Copy the following URLs into your browser to verify
that you can access each feature:
- http:/activities
- http: /blogs
- http:/communities
- http: /dogear
- http:/profiles
