The important files to note are listed in figure 5 the install file contains the installation script.Р”Р€. # tar РІР‚вЂњxvf lotus_domino85_aiРµСљвЂ 4_C1SQ0EN.tar untar the lotus_domino85_aiРµСљвЂ 4_C1SQ0EN.tar file, using the tar РІР‚вЂњxvf command in the path mentioned: Copy the tar file in the File System created for the Domino Binaries in this example, it isР”Сћ. To install the Domino server on the newly created Domino file system, follow these steps:Р”РЋ.

An LPAR containing domino instances is called a DPAR. In effect, a physical machine can be partitioned into multiple LPARs, each housing a separate operating system. NOTE: In computing, a logical partition, commonly called an LPAR, is a subset of a computer's hardware resources, virtualized as a separate computer. Register the new Domino server in the Domino Directory, and keep the new server ID handy for configuring the server later on. Change Ownership of the New File Systems to the РІР‚ВdominoРІР‚в„ў user and groupР”Тђ. Create a File System for the Domino Binaries Create a File System for the Domino Data Directory for example, : /GBLMAILDT Create a Logical Volume for the Domino Binaries Create a Logical Volume for the Domino Data Directory for example, : /GBLDT01 (c) If you plan to install partitioned servers (multiple instances on the same machine), you will need a different AIX user id for each partition installed.Р”Р‡or example, if you have four partitioned servers, you would probably have notes1, notes2, notes3, and notes4 as user accounts and notes as the group or, as in this example, domino is the username and group name having ownership of all the Domino partitions (DPARs).Р”Р„sk your AIX administrator to do the following: This AIX user id will be the one that is logged in when the Domino server is running. # mkuser pgrp=domino groups=РІР‚в„ўstaff,dominoРІР‚в„ў (b) Then create a user called notes and make it a member of the group notes already created in the previous command, as follows: You can either use the AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) or, to create a group, simply use the command: (a) Domino services should not be run as root therefore, a user name and group must be created to own the binary and run the code. Create a user and group to own Domino binaries and start and stop Domino services: If the Domino server is to be configured for SMTP, there will be a port conflict, so you need to check whether Sendmail is running by using:Р”В¤. Sendmail is a message transfer agent (MTA) that runs by default on AIX and binds to SMTP port 25. Verify the FQDN by doing an nslookup command.

NOTE: Be sure to have the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and the IP address from your network team handy before installing the Domino code.Р”Р„lternatively, a host file containing the IP address of the Domino instances and the Domino Administration server can be created as a temporary measure to proceed with installation in the /etc/hosts directory. (d) On the next screen, key in the desired network details such as host names, IP address, and Domain Name (see figure 3).Р”Р‡igure 3. For our environment we selected one of the three installed standard Ethernet Network Interfaces.Р”Р‡igure 2. (c) Select the desired network interface adapter from the list and press Enter. (b) Select Minimum Configuration & Startup and press Enter a pop-up window displays with a list of available network interfaces (see figure 2). (a) To set up TCP/IP, use the command # smitty tcpip, and press Enter. Verify that AIX has the latest base patches and packages applied, using the command:

Also, keep in mind that UNIX is case sensitive, so refer to the UNIX online manual (man) pages for syntax.Р”Р„lso, all screen shots and commands have been executed on AIX 6.1 (64-bit version) and Lotus Domino 8.5 FP1 (64-bit version).Р”В«efore installing the Domino code on AIX, you must do the following:Р”РЋ. The author is not responsible for undesirable results from using the scripts and commands contained in this document. NOTE: If you have insufficient administration rights, certain AIX commands may not execute correctly in your environment. It is assumed that the Domino administrator is not only responsible for installing the Domino code but also performs and maintains the daily Domino administration tasks. It is not the intent of this article to teach basic Domino or AIX administration.
