Domino installation and configuration system 7: Lotus Domino r8.x partition server configuration Manual

Shao

Using the IBM (r) Lotus (r) domino (TM) server partition, you can run multiple instances of the Domino server on a computer. This not only reduces hardware fees, but also minimizes the number of computers to be managed. Since purchasing multiple computers with lower processing capabilities to run Domino servers may fail to fully utilize available resources, you can purchase a computer with higher processing capabilities, and run multiple instances of the Domino server on the computer.

On the domino partitioning server, all partitions share the same DominoProgramDirectory to share a group of Domino executable files. However, each partition has its own Domino data directory And notes. ini file. Therefore, each partition has its own Domino Directory copy and other management databases.

If a partition stops running, other partitions can continue running. If a partition has a fatal error, Domino's fault recovery function only needs to restart the partition, rather than the entire computer.

While providing security, the partition server can also provide useful scalability. As the system grows, You can migrate users from a partition to a single server. You can also use the partition server as a cluster member to obtain high Database Availability. The security of a partitioned server is the same as that of a single server.

When setting a partition server, you must run the same version of Domino on each partition. . However, if the server is in Unix (r)Another method is to run multiple Domino instances on the server.Instance method: in UNIXYou can run different Domino versions on a computer. , Each version has its own program directory. ByEach versionThe partition server can be installed to run multiple instances of each version.

Environment requirements Usage conditions

To some extent, whether a partition server is used depends on how the domino domain is set. When multiple partitions are located in different Domino domains, partition servers are most commonly used. For example, if you use a partition server, you can specify different private Domino domains for different customers or set up multiple web sites. Partitioning servers with all partitions in the same Domino domain usually occupy more computer resources and disk space than a single server running multiple services.

When deciding to use a partition server, remember that managing a single server is easier than managing multiple partitions. However, if you want to isolate some server functions on the network (for example, isolate the message processing hub from the replication hub, or isolate the workgroup used to record resources and activities ), additional management work may be required. In addition, running a partition server on a multi-processor computer may improve performance even if multiple partitions are located in the same domain, because the computer simultaneously runs a specific process.

To grant the Notes user access permissions to the Domino server (where the user can create and run Domino applications), use the partition server. However, to provide customers with Internet access permissions for specific Domino application sets, set the xsp server environment.

The number of partitions that can be installed depends on the processing capability of the computer and the operating system used. To achieve optimal performance, make sure that each partition on the computer has at least one processor (two better) When partitioning a multi-processor computer ).

Configuration

There are two ways to configure the partition server on the computer. You can specify the same IP address for all the partition servers and then use port ing, or specify an independent IP address for each partition server.

All servers use the same IP Address

If the number of available IP addresses is limited, all partition servers on the computer can use the same IP address. Then, set port ing and specify its own port for each partition server. After configuring port ing, you must specify a partition server as the port ing server. It redirects the notes and Domino connection requests to other partition servers on the computer.

Using a single IP Address has the following Disadvantages:

• If the port ing server does not run, the client generally cannot establish a new connection with any partition server.

• All partition servers on the computer must be in the same IP network.

• As all the partition servers share the same network interface card (NIC), the computer's input and output (I/O) may become slower. We do not recommend this method because it has obvious disadvantages.

When port ing is set, the port ing server automatically routes the notes and Domino communication requests to other partition servers.

1. 1. Select a partition server that executes the port ing task. Generally, the first partition server is used as the ing server.

   2. Select a unique TCP/IP Port number for each partition server on the computer. The port ing server uses port 1352. We recommend that you use the port numbers 13520 to 13524 for other partition servers.

   3. In the notes. ini file of the port ing server, add a line for the port server and each other partition server. On the port ing server, enter:

Tcpip_tcpipaddress = 0, IPaddress: 1352

Example:

Tcpip_tcpipaddress = 0, 10.1.177.19: 1352

Here, TCPIP is the port name and IPaddress is the IP address of the port ing server.

For each other partition server, enter:

Tcpip_portmappingnn = Cn = servername/o = org, IPaddress: TCP/IP: Port Number

Example:

Tcpip_portmapping00 = Cn = servername/o = org, 10.1.177.19: 13520.

The TCPIP is the port name, And the NN is a number between 00 and 04 allocated in ascending order. SERVER_NAME is the name of the partition server, org is the name of the organization, IPaddress is the shared IP address, and TCP/IP Port number is the unique port address selected for the partition server.

Complete example of the Notes ing server notes. ini:

Tcpip_tcpipaddress = 0, 10.1.177.19: 1352

Tcpip_portmapping00 = Cn = servername01/o = org, 10.1.177.19: 13520

Tcpip_portmapping01 = Cn = servername02/o = org, 10.1.177.19: 13521

Tcpip_portmapping02 = Cn = servername03/o = org, 10.1.177.19: 13522

Tcpip_portmapping03 = Cn = servername04/o = org, 10.1.177.19: 13523

Tcpip_portmapping04 = Cn = servername05/o = org, 10.1.177.19: 13524

Note: It must be in ascending order00StartNnAllocate a number. The maximum value is no more04 . If there is an interruption in the sequenceDominoThe subsequent items are ignored. 

1. Add the following content to the notes. ini file of each other partition server:

Tcpip_tcpipaddress = 0, IPaddress: ipport_number

Tcpip is the port name, IPaddress is the shared IP address, and ipport_number is the unique port number selected for each partition server.

1. Enter each partition server name as a separate entry in the DNS, NIS, or local host file

Each partition server uses an independent IP Address If there is enough IP To specify an independent IP address for each partition server. IP Address, and use an independent network interface card for each partition server (NIC) . In this way, the client is allowed to access each partition server directly without access through the port ing server. Although different IP The address uses the same network interface card. (NIC) But it is better not to do this, because this will give the computer input / Output (I/O) Negative impact.

Using an independent IP Address has the following advantages:

• The partition server does not depend on the port ing server. In this way, because the user no longer depends on the running of the port server, you can access all the partition servers.

• The partition server can be located in different IP networks.

• An independent network interface card (NIC) can be used for each partition server, which can speed up the input/output (I/O) of the computer.

1. From the available IP address, specify one for each partition server.

For communications between notes and Domino, enter tcpip_tcpipaddress = 0 in the notes. ini file. IPaddress: 1352 where TCPIP is the port name and IPaddress is the IP address of the specified partition server.

Example: tcpip_tcpipaddress = 0, 10.232.96.145: 1352

1. Specify the required IP address and task for each partition server.

For example, if Domino runs a web service or POP3 service, you must specify an IP address and a task for each partition server.

The Web server enters the host name or IP address in the "host name" Field of the "Internet Protocol" HTTP tab in the "server" document. Then select "enable" in the "join to host name" field ".

• In the notes. ini file, enter pop3address = hostname. hostname indicates the IP address of the server or a fully qualified network domain name.

• In the notes. ini file, enter imapaddress = hostname. hostname indicates the IP address of the server or a fully qualified network domain name.

• In the notes. ini file, enter nntpaddress = hostname. hostname indicates the Server IP address or a fully qualified network domain name.

• In the notes. ini file, enter ldapaddress = hostname. hostname indicates the IP address of the server or a fully qualified network domain name.
