Today I downloaded the Sametime Unified Call Server (CZ3E0ML) and Sametime Unified Connect Server (CZ3E3ML) from the Business Partner Site.
Thought that I would be able to test the installtion and configuration a bit. But no chance.

It strange. I can download the software, but I'm not allowed to test it.
Seems that it has to be some kind of rocket science to implement  Sametime Unified Telephony.
Does that mean, that it is also rocket science to run this box?

Hope there will be more details on how to install SUT. So we could try to sell it....

Yesterday I made NSFDB2 working on my test servers. I had this strange errormessage: "Error managing DB2 groups....DB2 Authorization violation" when I tried to compact a database to DB2.

I did the installation 3 or 4 times. DB2 enable ran successfull but compacting never succeeded.  After checking every parameter several times I found the mistake. I entered a path for the "DB2 datastore directory". When I removed the entry for this field, compacting ran without issues.

Short tipp: If you plan to enable db2 on a remote server, don't start the local DB2 command center.

I did it to test the connection between my domino server and the db2 server. Afterwards I was not able to enable the db2 on the domino server.
I got a strange communication error. And some hint about the catalog.

So I started the command center, removed my db2 node from the list. Tada! Now I could enable  the db2 on my domino.

Seems that Installpump is back in business.

Today I tested the NSFDB2. The installation was *cough* easy. The hardes part, was to find the Tutorial from last years course :-)

After 4h I got eveything up and running on my VMWare server. Setup looks like:

1 Domain Controller Win2003

1 Domino 8.0.2 Server

1 DB2 Enterprise 9.5 Server

Impressions so far:

• My first database got corrupted, when I transfered it to the DB2.
• When I transfered the second database, my db2 server ran out of hd space
• After expanding the disksize, I encountered several errors 1042c, 1065n
  It turned out that my db2 server lost the connection to my domain controller, therefor the db2 service account was not able to start.
  Rebooting the whole VMWare server, and checking all the network configurations, everything is now ok.

I hope it works all fine now.
