Communications Suite 6 Update 2 Installation Scenario - Install Message Store

Assumptions

This scenario shows how to install the Messaging Server back-end message store on a separate host. It is based on the Install back-end message store leaf in the Communications Suite 6 Update 2 Installation Flowchart. The scenario makes these assumptions:

• You are deploying Communications Suite on multiple hosts or Solaris zones.
• This Messaging Server back-end message store is one functional component of your multi-host deployment.
• You are installing the message store on a separate host or Solaris zone; you are not bundling the message store with Communication Suite products on the same host.
• If you are distributing multiple partitions of the message store across several hosts or zones, you can follow these instructions for each host on which you install store partitions.

Which Task Sequence Do You Follow?

Before you install the message store, take these steps:

1. You must ensure DNS is running and configured properly. For details, see DNS configuration.
2. Recommended file systems for the message store are listed here.
3. Make sure you do not configure conflicting port numbers on a machine when various components are running on a single machine. For a list of port numbers used by Messaging Server, see Default Port Numbers.

Install and configure the message store:

1. Run the Communications Suite installer.
   
   When the Comms Installer lists the components to install, choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version by selecting one of these components:
   
   Messaging Server 7 Update 2. (The Comms Installer does not explicitly label the 32-bit version as "32-bit.")
   
   Messaging Server (64-bit) 7 Update 2.
   
   Make sure that the other components are not selected.
   
   
2. Use the following worksheet to gather configuration information for the message store: Messaging Server 7 Update 2 - Configuration Worksheet
   
3. Run the Messaging Server initial configuration program:
   
   For 32-bit: # INSTALLROOT/messaging/bin/configure
   
   For 64-bit: # INSTALLROOT/messaging64/bin/configure
   
   For detailed instructions, see Messaging Server 7 Update 2: Initial Configuration.
   
   When the Messaging Server configure program lists the components to configure, select these components:
   
   Message Store
   
   Message Transfer Agent (MTA)
   
   You must select both components to successfully configure the message store. Make sure that the other components are not selected.
