IBM Sametime 8.5.2 IFR1 Prerequisites (continued)
Software requirements
For WEB A/V Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x(!!), 7.x, 8.0 and 9.0 (Windows) Firefox 3.5, 3.6, 6 and 7 (Windows, Mac) Google Chrome 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13
SPECIAL NOTE: Apple Safari is not supported with Sametime Web Audio/Video Browser Plugin in this actual Sametime Version 8.5.2 IFR1. We do not support any Linux based OS now for Browser A/V. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 should work and is officially supported. But it is not recommended to use this version because it can cause issues when several parallel connections needs to be established with the meeting server.
Social Business
35
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. The Sametime gateway requires a public, not NATed IP address. NAT does not work with SIP traffic (specially when using TLS encryption) because the SIP packages contain the sending IP address inside. Then the receiver refuses the SIP package coming from another address then the one inside the package.
Social Business
36
Required files for a deployment on Windows

For a Windows update installation you need to download these files from Passport Advantage: CI3Y8ML.exe CI3Y9ML.zip CI3YCML.zip CI3YDML.zip CI3YEML.zip CI3YGML.zip CI3YJML.zip IBM Sametime System Console 8.5.2 IFR1 IBM Sametime Community Server Standard 8.5.2 IFR1 IBM Sametime Proxy Server 8.5.2 IFR1 IBM Sametime Meeting Server 8.5.2 IFR1 IBM Sametime Media Manager Server 8.5.2 IFR1 IBM Sametime Connect Clients 8.5.2 IFR1 IBM Sametime Advanced Server 8.5.2 IFR1
Create a directory, for example C:\Install, on the servers where you want to install. Then unpack the downloaded files into this directory. Just unpack the files required for your deployment architecture on the particular server.

IBM Sametime 8.5.2 IFR1 - Our pilot recommendation

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 individual IP addresses. This configuration is described fully and detailed later here in the document. This Update to IBM Sametime 8.5.2 IFR1 has some limitations that require a work around specially for this multi components on one box architectures with 2 ore more IP addresses and host names. This work around is described in detail in the Post Install sections after the Proxy and Meeting Server update. The Sametime Advanced Server in this pilot deployment is optional and requires additional licensing. Do not install or update this server if you do not have purchased the required licenses. Without Sametime Advanced you can do the full installation of all components with just 2 machines.

41
Special IP configuration for the WebSphere based Server

As described before you should configure the machine hosting the WebSphere based servers with 2 IP addresses and 3 DNS entries. In this slide deck we use: Host Name: sametime.renovations.com IP: 192.168.30.10 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: 192.168.30.10 With this address we install the Sametime Meeting Server DNS Alias: webchat.renovations.com IP: 192.168.30.30 With this address we install the Sametime Proxy Server
Social Business
42
Required technical users for IBM Sametime 8.5.2

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
43
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 User 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
44
Audio/Video Plug-In for Browser access to Meeting Rooms

The Meeting 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 pilot deployment recommendation we use the Sametime Proxy server for this service. 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.

Social Business
47
STEP ONE: Prepare the System for the Upgrade

Summary
Before you can upgrade your Sametime environment to release 8.5.2 IFR1 some things needs to be checked and to be prepared.
Social Business
48
Important: Sametime 8.5.2 Interim Feature Release 1 cannot be uninstalled. Back up key files before starting in case you want to restore the previous installation. See Backing up files before updating Sametime 8.5.2 on AIX, Linux, Solaris, or Windows.

Download and extract the files for Interim Feature Release 1. Update Installation Manager if the administrator name or password has changed. Update the Sametime System Console and optionally, the Sametime Community Server, before you update any of the other Sametime servers that run on WebSphere Application Server. Start the Sametime System Console and the Deployment Manager. Stop the WebSphere proxy server if it is enabled and running. If you have multiple Sametime components on one computer, leave the Sametime System Console running and stop all other WebSphere Application Server processes. If the computer runs only one Sametime component, you do not need to stop the Sametime server you are about to update. If you are upgrading a cluster, stop all the nodes in the cluster.
49
Social Business
Enter the URLs https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? uid=swg21573958. and https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? uid=swg21382867 Both technotes are pointing to the workaround here: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? uid=swg21574839 It is recommended to replace the file iscmod_uninstall.py as described in the technote before starting the update.
Social Business
50
The Update requires to stop all running WebSphere servers. If your Sametime System is installed the same way as the Sametime 8.5.2 - From Zero To Hero Part 1 Basics then just stop the STConsole_Server_DM service. It will stop all other services as well. If you have installed using your own architecture, then all WebShere Servers and Nodeagents federated to the Cell of your Sametime System Console should be stopped.
Social Business
51
The only remaining java.exe process is the NET Search Extension from DB2 when Sametime Advanced is installed as well.
Social Business
52
It is recommended to set all services except the Sametime System Console services to Manual first. After the installation of one of the services a OS restart is recommended to start the corresponding WebSphere servers as Services. Otherwise the next installation will fail.
Open the Properties of each service and set the Startup type to Manual. Then click the OK button.
Social Business
53
All services except the three for the System Console Server are set to Manual now. And all Sametime WebSphere services are stopped.
Social Business
54
STEP TWO: Update the IBM Sametime System Console Server

Summary This step updates the IBM Sametime 8.5.2 System Console Server to the IFR1 release. We like to use a CMD command line window to enter some of the commands and start the installers. For that we have created a short cut in our fast start section. You can use the Windows Explorer as well to navigate to the destination directory and double click the installation file (setupwin32.exe)
Social Business
55
Enter the command cd \Install\IBM Sametime System Console and press the Enter key. If you have unpacked the zip file to a different directory, then navigate to your directory where you can find the update.bat file.
Social Business
56
Enter the command update.bat and press the Enter key.
Social Business
57
The IBM Installation Manager is starting up.
Social Business
58
Now click the Update button to continue.
Social Business
59
Select the Product you want to upgrade. Here we select IBM Sametime Server Platform. Then click the Next button to continue
Social Business
60
Click the Next button to continue
Social Business
61
Be sure that all WebSphere Servers are shut down on this box and that all federated WebSphere Servers on other boxes are shut down as well before continuing with the SSC update. Then click the Next button to continue.
Social Business
62
Click the Update button to install the Sametime System Console IFR1.
Social Business
63
The Sametime System Console IFR1 Update is now installing. This step takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Social Business
64
When the installation has finished successfully, click the Finish button to close the Installer.
Social Business
65
Click File and then Exit to quit the Installation Manager.
Social Business
66
The Sametime System Console is now updated to IFR1. The Services have not changed, but they seem not to be started.
Social Business
67
But in the Task Manager you see that there are several java.exe processes running. Here is the same behavior as in earlier installations, the Installation Manager starts the services in the background but not using the OS Service start mechanism. The Service does not recognize that it is started and cant show this status in the Services view.
Social Business
68
The best way to fix this issue is to just reboot the Operating System. Then all services who are set to start automatic, are starting using the service startup method. For this IFR1 upgrade that is a absolute required step. Otherwise the Upgrade of the next WebSphere based component - the Sametime Proxy Server - will fail.
Social Business
69
In the Task Manager you can now see the 3 java.exe processes of the Sametime System Console and if installed, the DB2 Net Search Extension for the Sametime Advanced Server.
Social Business
70
STEP THREE: Update the IBM Sametime Community Server

Summary
This step updates the IBM Sametime Community Server 8.5.2 to the IFR1 release.
Social Business
71
To install the IBM Sametime Community Server 8.5.2 IFR1 Update the server must be quit first. Shut it down and be sure that there are no more tasks starting with the letters st... appear in the Task Manager.
Social Business
72
In a CMD-Line window navigate to the directory to where you have unpacked the IFR1 Update package. Then enter the setupwin32.exe command to start the installer.
Social Business
73
The IBM Sametime Community Server installer has started. Select your preferred language. We use just English. Then click the OK button to continue.
Social Business
74
Click the Next button to continue.
Social Business
75
Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the Next button to continue.
Social Business
76
Click the Install button to start the installation.
Social Business
77
The installation takes approximately 2 - 3 minutes.
Social Business
78
The installer has installed the IFR1 update successfully. Click the Finish button to continue.
Social Business
79
Now you can start your Domino Server to start your updated 8.5.2 IFR1 Sametime Community Server by clicking the Lotus Domino Server icon. You can reboot the OS or just start the Lotus Domino Server Service as well. All will work.
Click the OK button to continue.
Social Business
80
The Domino Server starts the Sametime tasks automatically.
Social Business
81
Wait until all 42 Tasks starting with the letters ST... are started. This can take up to 5 minutes.
Social Business
82
Open your Browser and navigate to your Sametime System Console. Authenticate and then click on Sametime System Console - Sametime Servers - Sametime Community Servers. Here click the link Community Server Global Settings.
Social Business
83
Check the box Enable offline messages to enable this new feature. But be aware this only works if your Sametime Community Servers and all clients are updated to the IFR1 release.
After enabling this setting it is required to restart all Sametime Community Servers.
Social Business
84
STEP FOUR: Update the IBM Sametime Proxy Server
Summary
Use this procedure to apply the Interim Feature Release to IBM Sametime Proxy Server, Sametime Media Manager, Sametime Meeting Server, and Sametime Advanced. Procedures for Sametime System Console, Sametime Community Server, and Sametime Gateway are explained in other topics.
Social Business
85
Enter the command cd \Install\IBM Sametime Proxy Server and press the Enter key. If you have unpacked the zip file to a different directory, then navigate to your directory where you can find the update.bat file.
Social Business
86
Enter the command update.bat and press the Enter key.
Social Business
87
Social Business
88
Social Business
89
Social Business
90
Social Business
91
Be sure that all WebSphere Servers are shut down, except the IBM Sametime System Console and the DMGR of the cell. Then click the Next button to continue.
Social Business
92
Click the Update button to install the IBM Sametime Proxy Server IFR1.
Social Business
93
The IBM Sametime Proxy Server IFR1 Update is now installing. This step takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
Social Business
94
Important to know...
A new main feature in Sametime 8.5.2 IFR1 Proxy Server is the Apple iOS integration using an App that can be installed for free from the Apple App store. This app then connects to your Sametime proxy Server through the Internet. That this can work, your Sametime Proxy Server must be accessible from the Internet. This means you need to set it up in your DMZ or configure a reverse proxy in your DMZ and forward the traffic to your Sametime Proxy in the intranet. But the recommended way is to implement your Sametime Proxy Server in your DMZ. Another recommendation is that your Sametime proxy Server can communicate with the Apple notification service. For this to work you need to open 2 ports in your firewall to this servers in the internet. These ports are 2195 to the Apple notification server and port 2196 to the Apple feedback server.
Social Business
95
When the installation has finished successfully, click the Finish button to close the Installer. If you have installed the Sametime 8.5.2 environment exactly as described in the former Zero To Hero documents then you will see this warning messages. This means the upgrade was installed successfully but the registration of the upgrade into the System Console has failed. How to fix this issue is described in the next part. (Post Install Tasks)
Social Business
96
Social Business
97
STEP FIVE: Post Install Tasks for the IBM Sametime Proxy Server
Summary
This procedure is only required if you run into the Warning message after the installation as described in the step before.

Social Business
113
STEP SIX: Create the DB2 Database for the Sametime Proxy Server
Summary 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
114
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. Then open a CMD window and navigate to this directory. In this Zero to Hero example we use just C:\Install\IBM Sametime Proxy Server\DatabaseScripts.
Social Business
115
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.
Social Business
116
Be sure that you see the ...command completed successfully message after all commands.
Social Business

For this APNS to work there are 3 requirements:
The IBM Sametime Proxy Server must be able to connect to the APNS Servers gateway.push.apple.com on port 2195, and feedback.push.apple.com on Port 2196. You should open this ports in your firewalls and test with telnet that you can reach the servers. The device must be able to reach the IBM Sametime Proxy Server with http or https protocol. You can use a reverse proxy in your DMZ. NAT is no problem. The APNS service must be able to send a notification to your device. If your device is connected to your intranet using Wireless lan, it mostly can not be notified from the apple systems. Talk to your firewall admins to open the notification service for your Wifi LAN.
Social Business
220
The IFR1 installer has an issue documented in the IBM Lotus Knowledge Base Technote http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21576076 Use the next slides to fix this issue in your Zero to Hero environment. Open your file explorer and navigate to the directory C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\STPSNAppProfile\config\cells\sametimeSSC Cell\nodes\webchatSTPNode1.

Social Business
224
Because this change is a mayor security change it is recommended to restart all WebSphere services including Deployment Manager. So just restart the OS of the box and wait until all services are up and running. You know this can take up to 10 minutes.
Social Business
225
STEP THIRTEEN: Update the Sametime Client
Summary In this step you update your existing Sametime Connect or Notes embedded Sametime client.
Social Business
226
Updating your clients can be done just by starting the installer local on the machine or using your preferred deployment tools. Unpack the client package to your preferred directory.
If you now open the embedded or standalone directory you can see the 3 installers for the supported OS Windows Mac - Linux.
In the Windows Directory you find the installation executable and a ZIP file.
Social Business
227
Unpack the ZIP file and you can find the setup.exe and the msi installer for your deployment tool.
Social Business
228
Additional Steps after the installation:

Some additional Tuning steps can be done after all components are installed. You should consult the Sametime Product Documentation in the Internet about this steps here: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/stwiki.nsf/dx/Tuning_st852 If you want to implement SSL to access your Sametime Meeting or Sametime Proxy Server, additional configuration steps are required. See the Lotus Sametime InfoCenter for more details or contact the author of this document. Automatic URL redirection to https (SSL) can be configured.
