Communications Suite 6 Update 2 Installation Scenario - Messaging Multiplexor (MMP) Front End

Assumptions

This scenario shows how to install the Messaging Multiplexor (MMP) front-end on a separate host. It is based on the Install MMP front end 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 MMP front end is one functional component of your multi-host deployment.
• You are installing the MMP on a separate host or Solaris zone; you are not bundling the MMP with other Communication Suite products on the same host.
• If you are distributing multiple instances of the MMP partitions across several hosts or zones, you can follow these instructions for each host on which you install the MMP.
• You are installing only the MMP front end; you are not installing message store or SMTP functions.

Which Software Components and Downloads Do You Need?

• Communications Suite: for the Messaging Server MMP front end

Which Task Sequence Do You Follow?

Before you install the MMP, take these steps:

1. You must ensure DNS is running and configured properly. For details, see DNS configuration.
2. 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 MMP:

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 MMP: 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
   
   Messaging Multiplexor
   
   Make sure that the other components are not selected.
