Domino Safe Mode theory


Tags :


While working on a multi-server issue and discussing ideas we came up with IBM Lotus Domino running in a Safe Mode.  This would allow Domino to start and have no network connectivity to allow it to process everything it needs without allowing any connections or attempting to connect to anything else.

What would be needed we wondered? A flag we could enter or a simple ini variable that locks it down would be necessary.  You then place this in the server before restart and remove after you are done troubleshooting or working.

We are not talking server restricted access for users but some way to work on the server and have all in and out connections.  Like Windows in Safe Mode with no networking.

We could simply REM out the port settings in the ini I imagine as a possible shortcut but I think this could be a great way to speed some troubleshooting.
