Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Installing Domino on UNIX systems

DOMINO SERVER INSTALLATION

Installing Domino on UNIX systems
You can install IBM® Lotus® Domino® on a UNIX® system by following this procedure, or you can perform a silent installation of a local server.

1. Before you install the Domino server program files on a UNIX system, do the following:

Make sure that the required hardware and software components are in place and working.
Read the Release Notes for operating system and network protocol requirements and for any last-minute changes or additions to the documentation.
Temporarily disable any screen savers and turn off any virus-detection software.
Before running any Domino setup command, be sure to complete any pending reboot actions you may have from installing other applications.
Make sure that all other applications are closed.

2. As the root user, run the install program ./install which is on the installation CD.

Note

If you want to run the install in graphical mode, the root user's DISPLAY needs to configured correctly. You also have the option to run the install in console mode.

3. Read the Welcome screen, and click Next. Then read the License Agreement and click I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.

4. (Optional) Choose Install Data Directories Only.

Note

Choose the Data Directories Only option when migrating a single server install to a multiple server install. If you are adding multiple partitions, select the option to install partitioned servers when specifying the corresponding program files directory name. Or, choose this option when you are upgrading only one partition on a multiple-partitioned server.

5. Choose the program directory, and choose whether you are installing partitioned servers. Click Next.

6. Specify the data directory in which to copy the software. If you are installing a partitioned server, specify a data directory for each partition.

Note

For partitions, use the Add button to add each of the data directories to the list. If they are not added to the list they will not be installed.

7. Specify a UNIX user name and UNIX group name.

8. (Optional)If you are installing to a directory other than /opt/ibm/lotus, you can create the /opt/ibm/lotus soft link.

9. Choose a server setup option.

Note

The server setup options are not available for servers with multiple partitions.

10. Select the server type you acquired:

Domino Utility Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides application services only, with support for Domino clusters. The Domino Utility Server removes client access license requirements. Note that it does NOT include support for messaging services. See full licensing text for details.
Domino Messaging Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides messaging services. Note that it does NOT include support for application services or Domino clusters.
Domino Enterprise Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides both messaging and application services, with support for Domino clusters.
Customize - Allows you to select the features you want to install.

Note

All installation types support Domino partitioned servers. Only the Domino Enterprise Server supports a service provider (xSP) environment.

11. Review the summary information, and then select Next to begin installing files.

12. Click Finish to complete the install program.
