Continuing the Sametime clustering catch up - Day 2
Tags :Sametime
This time I was lucky enough to find 3 access
points but all were WEP. Bummer. So this time I found a cool
tiny Thai place for dinner. The service was fantastic at Thai Basil.
But down to business. I know part of the customer team reads this
daily (however we know that the IBM'ers here do not and have no idea what
they are missing right?) and are expecting a lot. But I won't let
too many secrets out. In my eyes the basics of the cluster are a
success. There were modifications to be made to a class file that
searched and modified the appearance of the Sametime home server when using
LDAP. But they also had some other customizations that we have to
build back in.
Replacing the Home Sametime Server (HSS) is a main key of Community Clusters.
Proper DNS plays a major role in this since we are parsing the server
name with the LDAP queries. Integrating this new cluster with an
existing Sametime chat server (during the migration time) and then the
internal and external meeting configuration is all still to come.
We did somehow manage to make a Sametime admin client that only did Meeting
Services. How we got it, we don't know nor did we spend the time
to work it out. But it was blue (from the new Sametime FP1 for 6.5.1
changes. Yes, this means that IBM put a blue IBM banner at the top for
branding above the normal yellow. The only strange part was that
the product title was called IBM Lotus Web Conferencing. I wonder
what happened to the Instant Messaging part of that title bar? And
now it goes back to Sametime.
I am definitely full from the Keang Keow
Wan (Thai green curry with chicken, medium spicy) and a dessert that was
recommended. Fried bananas with mango and green tea ice cream.
