Environmental Products: Lotus Notes / Domino Platform: Cross-platform Software Version: R4.5X, R4.6X, R5.x Question Domino server partition allows multiple Domino servers to run on a single computer. Using partitioning servers will reduce hardware costs and minimize the number of computers required to manage. Solution Each partition server has its own Domino data directory and notes.ini file, but all partition servers share the same Domino program directory. Partitioning servers allow you to use hardware more effectively. The most commonly used an IP address and network interface card for all partition servers, but allocate different ports for each partition server. (This is called port mapping.) Installing the partition server installation and setting the partition server and settings a single server. Note All partition servers on your computer share the same Domino program directory, but each partition has its own Domino data directory. 1. Start the setup program and follow the instructions on the screen. Please confirm that "Partition Server Installation" is selected. In the Settings program, enter the name of the Domino program directory shared by all partition servers. For each desired partition server, enter the name of the Domino data directory. Note It is best to choose a directory name that can clearly distinguish the Domino data directory, for example: using the name of the partition server. Note The "Install" program of the OS / 2 version does not have the Partition Server Installation option. Therefore, you must run the "Install" program for each partition server to be installed. To this end, you need to install the same version of Domino multiple times in the same program directory, and specify a different data directory for each installation. 2. Configure TCP / IP for each partition server. 3. Configure and set each partition server to run the service (for example: LDAP, NNTP, POP3, and IMAP) and / or make it run as a Domino web server. Configuring an IP address and port mapping When setting port mapping, port mapping servers automatically route NOTES and DOMINO messages to other partition servers. 1. Select a partition server that performs port mapping tasks. 2. Select the unique TCP / IP port number for each partition server on your computer. The port mapping server uses port numbers 1352. It is recommended to use port numbers 13520 to 13524.3 to other partitioning servers. In the NOTES.INI file of the port mapping server, join a line for port servers and other partition servers. For port mapping servers: tcpip_tcpipaddress = 0, ipaddress: 1352 where TCPIP is a port name, iPaddress is an IP address of the port mapping server. Enter each other partition server: tcpip_portmappingn = cn = server_name / o = org, ipaddress: TCP / IP port Number where TCPIP is a port name, NN is a number between 00 to 04 assigned in ascending order. Server_name is a partition server name, org is an organizational name, iPaddress is a shared IP address, TCP / IP Port Number is a unique port address selected for the partition server. Note The number must be assigned a number to NN from 00 as an ascending order, and the maximum should not exceed 04. If there is interruption in the sequence, Domino will ignore the following items. 4. In the Notes.ini file of each other partition server, add the downlift: tcpip_tcpipaddress = 0, ipaddress: ipport_number where tcpip is a port name, ipaddress is a shared IP address, ipport_number is the unique port number selected for each partition server. . 5. Each partition server name is input as a separate item in DNS, NIS or local host files.
