Note: Messaging Server, Calendar Server, and Instant Messaging are required for Convergence only if you want to configure Convergence with the services they provide. For example, if you do not want IM service, you do not need Instant Messaging.

Convergence 1 Update 3 Compatibility with Communications Express, Connector for Microsoft Outlook, Address Book Store, and LDAP Schema
Product Version Communications Suite Release Required or Optional?
Communications Express 6.3 5, 6, or 6 Update 1 Optional. You can deploy Communications Express with the same Messaging Server, Calendar Server, and Directory Server as Convergence 1 Update 3. You can configure end users to access Communications Suite services through either client.
Connector for Microsoft Outlook 7.3, 7.3 Update 1 6 (for 7.3)
6 Update 1 (for 7.3 Update 1) 		Optional. You can deploy Connector for Microsoft Outlook with the same Communications Suite products and Directory Server as Convergence 1 Update 3. End users of Outlook (configured via the Connector for Microsoft Outlook) can access the same Communications Suite services as those accessed via Convergence and Communications Express.
Personal Address Book store Can be configured by either Convergence 1 Update 3 or Communications Express 6.3 N/A. (The Address Book store resides in an LDAP directory.) You can configure Convergence 1 Update 3, Communications Express 6.3, and Connector for Microsoft Outlook 7.3 to use the same Address Book store.
Convergence end users can access and update an existing Address Book store configured on an existing Directory Server by using Communications Express. Conversely, you can configure Communications Express end users to access and update an Address Book store originally configured via Convergence 1 Update 3.
Updates to the Address Book made in one client are visible and accessible on the other client.
New Address Book features provided by Convergence do not invalidate Address Book LDAP entries originally configured by using Communications Express. From the perspective of the Communications Express client, the Address Book functions as it did before Convergence was installed.
A Note About Corporate Address Books:
Convergence can be configured to support one Corporate Address Book for each hosted domain. Users of Communications Express who use a single Corporate Address Book can also access and update that Address Book through Convergence.
Caveat: Communications Express users who access multiple Corporate Address Books (in their domain) can only use the first Corporate Address Book through Convergence. The others are not accessible through Convergence.
LDAP Schema Schema 1 or 2
Schema 2 only if Access Manager is deployed with Convergence. 		N/A If you use Access Manager (Realm Mode or Legacy Mode) to provide Single Sign-on (SSO) for Convergence, you must use Schema 2.
If you use Delegated Administrator (DA) to provisions users, you must use Schema 2, because DA depends on Access Manager (Legacy Mode), which requires Schema 2.

Memory and Disk Space Requirements

The following table shows the memory and disk space requirements for Communications Suite 7 component products.

Memory and Disk Space Requirements for Communications Suite 7
Product Disk Space RAM Other
Sun Indexing and Search Service Approximately 20 Mbytes must be free in /opt for /opt/sun/comms/jiss.
Roughly 50 percent of the Messaging Server store size will be required for /var/iss directory. As ISS supports more attachment types, the amount of disk space needed for /var/iss/attach will increase. 1 		4 Gbytes  
Sun Java System Calendar Server 7 Approximately 20 Mbytes.  
Sun Java System Calendar Server 6.3 Approximately 500 Mbytes of disk space for typical installation. For production systems, at least 1 Gbyte. 128 Mbytes of RAM. For production systems, 256 Mbytes to 1 Gbyte for best performance. RAID storage for fast access (recommended for large databases).
Sun Convergence Approximately 100 Mbytes of disk space for initial installation. 1 Gbyte minimum.  
Sun Java System Messaging Server 1 Gbyte for production deployment or 500 Mbytes for evaluation installation. You also need adequate space for message store, database configuration directory, and log files, depending upon your site size. 1 Gbyte minimum.  
Sun Java System Instant Messaging Approximately 300 Mbytes of free disk space for the software.
Approximately 5 Kbytes of disk space for each user. 		At least 256 Mbytes of RAM. The amount of RAM needed depends on the number of concurrent client connections, and whether the server and multiplexor are deployed on the same host.  
Delegated Administrator The disk requirements for Delegated Administrator are the same as those of the Web container to which Delegated Administrator is deployed.
For information about the Web container's hardware requirements, see the current release notes for this Java Enterprise System component. 		The memory requirements for Delegated Administrator are the same as those of the Web container to which Delegated Administrator is deployed.
For information about the Web container's hardware requirements, see the current release notes for this Java Enterprise System component. 		 
MySQL Server Approximately 650 Mbytes  
JDK Approximately 450 Mbytes  

1 In Indexing and Search Service, the /var/iss directory is divided into three subdirectories:

  • /var/iss/attach - Stores attachments, including JPG, PDF, ODF, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Visio, and Excel thumbnails as well as the original JPG, PDF, ODF, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Visio, and Excel files from the email. Because ISS stores the original attachment file here, the size of this directory can grow quite large depending on how many attachments of this type are in the mail store. Turning off the attachment store is a configurable option. Compared to the index store, this directory could probably reside on slower disk.
  • /var/iss/logs - Stores log files.
  • /var/iss/index/store - Stores index files. This tends to take up about 15 percent of the size of the mail store and needs to be on a fast disk as it is frequently accessed.

Operating System Requirements

The following table shows the recommended platforms for Communications Suite 7:

  • Instant Messaging is not supported on Solaris OS 32-bit and Red Hat Linux 32-bit OS platforms.
  • The Communications Suite installer checks for required platform patches.
  • The performance of your Communications Suite deployment depends on many factors, including CPU power, available memory, disk space, file system performance, usage patterns, network bandwidth, and so on. For example, throughput is directly related to file system performance. If you have questions about sizing and performance, contact your Sun Java Communications Suite representative.
Minimal Solaris OS Install Requirements for Indexing and Search Service

The following Solaris OS packages are required for Indexing and Search Service: SUNWgcmn, SUNWgtar, SUNWxcu4, SUNWj5rt. If remote installs are needed, SUNWwgetr and SUNWwgetu are also required. Confirm that they are installed with pkginfo. Multi-machine deployments require SUNWapch2d, SUNWapch2r, and SUNWapch2u to be installed on indexing nodes. If not installed, install them from Solaris OS media before installing Indexing and Search Service.

  • rpm-build
  • elfutils
  • elfutils-libs
  • compat-libstdc++-33
  • ntp

  • compat-libstdc++-296
  • libxml2
  • xinetd

Multi-machine deployments require that the httpd RPM to be installed on indexing nodes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

System Virtualization Support

System virtualization is a technology that enables multiple operating system (OS) instances to execute independently on shared hardware. Functionally, software deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Sun performs testing of its Sun Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations. This testing helps validate that the Sun Java System products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on nonvirtualized systems.

Communications Suite supports the VMware container (VMware ESX Server 3). As support for such virtualization platforms as LDOMs and the xVM Server becomes available, this document will be updated.

For information about Sun support for Sun Java System products in virtualized environments, see http://docs.sun.com/doc/820-4651.

Messaging Server

Recommended File Systems for Message Stores

The following file systems are recommended for message stores:

  • LUFS (Logging UFS).
  • VxFS (Veritas File System). Veritas File System provides good system performance if configured properly. If you use VxVM, the Veritas Volume Manager, you need to watch carefully that the volumes and the log file for the volumes are set to be regularly striped.
  • HAStoragePlus File System for Sun Cluster installations. The HAStoragePlus File System provides better performance than the default Sun Cluster Global File System.
  • NFS (Network File System). You can use NFS on MTA relay machines, for LMTP, for autoreply histories, and for message defragmentation. See the Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Guide for more information. In addition, NFS can be supported on BSD-style mailboxes (/var/mail/) as well as for message stores. 
  • ZFS. As of Messaging Server 6.3, Messaging Server supports the ZFS file system. See Messaging Server ZFS Support for more information.
DNS Server and Messaging Server

A high-quality caching DNS server on the local network is a requirement for a production deployment of Messaging Server. Messaging Server depends heavily on the responsiveness and scalability of the DNS server.

Additionally, your DNS configuration needs to be clearly specified as to how to route to hosts that are not on the local subnet by ensuring the following:

  • The /etc/defaultrouter file should contain the IP address of the gateway system. This address must be on a local subnet.
  • The /etc/resolv.conf file exists and contains the proper entries for reachable DNS servers and domain suffixes.
  • In the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, the hosts: line has the files, dns, and nis keywords added. The keyword files must precede dns and nis. For example, the lines should not look like this:
hosts:  nis dns files
ipnodes:  nis dns files

The lines should be changed to this:

hosts:  files nis dns
ipnodes:  files nis dns

* In the /etc/hosts file, the FQDN is the first host name.

For example, if your Internet host table in your /etc/hosts file should not look like this:

123.45.67.89 budgie.west.sesta.com
123.45.67.89 budgie loghost mailhost

Change the host table so that only one line is shown for the IP address of the host. Be sure that the first host name is a fully qualified domain name. For example:

123.45.67.89 budgie.west.sesta.com budgie loghost mailhost
Note
On Solaris OS 10 U3 and earlier platforms, you not only have to add the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to the /etc/hosts file, but also to the /etc/inet/ipnodes file. Otherwise, you will receive an error indicating that your host name is not a fully qualified domain name. From Solaris OS 10 U4 onward, the contents of the /etc/inet/ipnodes and /etc/hosts files have been merged together into just the /etc/hosts file. Applying kernel patch 120011-14 on any Solaris 10 system also performs the merge, and subsequent removal of the /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

Delegated Administrator

The following Java Enterprise System components, tools, and LDAP schema version are required for this release of Delegated Administrator:

  • Directory Server 5.x or 6.x
    To enforce unique values for mail attributes, you must install one of these releases:
    • Directory Server 6.x
    • Directory Server 5.2.5 or later
    • Directory Server 5.2.4, and you must apply patch 5.2_Patch_4_6313027
  • Either Messaging Server 6 or Calendar Server 6, or both
  • Java Enterprise System Web container. You must deploy Delegated Administrator to one of the following Web containers:
    • Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 or higher
    • Sun Java System Web Server 7 or higher
    • Sun Java System Application Server 7.x
    • Sun Java System Application Server 8.x
    • Sun Java System Application Server 9.1
  • Directory Server Setup script, comm_dssetup.pl: Use the version that is bundled with the current version of the Communications Suite installer.
  • LDAP Schema 2
    This release of Communications Suite Delegated Administrator is designed for provisioning users in an LDAP Schema 2 directory.

Instant Messaging

Sun Java Communications Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes

Default Installation Directories and Ports

Reviewers
Need to update this section for Indexing and Search Service 1 and Calendar Server 7

The Communications Suite installer automatically installs product components in default directories unless you specify otherwise. In most cases, you can specify a custom location to override a default location when you are specifying configuration values during or after installation, with the following exceptions:

  • Sun Cluster components. You cannot change the location of the installation directories.
  • Message Queue. You cannot change the location of the installation directories.
    Note
    Use the default installation directory when installing product components, if possible. If you specify an alternative installation directory, you are responsible for consistently pointing components to that installation directory during configuration.

    The following table lists the default installation directories for the Communications Suite product components.

Default Port Numbers

When the Communications Suite installer requests that you enter a port number, the installer performs a runtime check on the ports in use and displays an appropriate default value. If the default port number is being used by another component or by another instance of the same product component, the installer presents an alternative value.

The following table lists the default Communications Suite product component port numbers and the purpose of each port.

Note
Convergence, Access Manager, Communications Express, and Delegated Administrator are not listed in this table because they use the port numbers of the web container into which they are deployed.

Note 1 - Port Number Conflicts. If these servers (such as the IMAP4 server and MMP IMAP Proxy) are installed on the same machine, you will encounter port number conflicts. If possible, install products with conflicting port numbers on separate hosts.

If you have installed two servers that are attempting to access the same port number, you need to change the port number of one of the conflicting products. To change port numbers for Messaging Server components, use the configutil utility. See the Messaging Server Administration Reference for instructions.

The following example uses the service.http.port configutil parameter to change the standard HTTP port number to 8080:

configutil -o service.http.port -v 8080

Communications Suite Compatibility Issues

For compatibility issues affecting Communications Suite products and dependent products and shared components, Communications Suite 7 Compatibility Issues.

Problems Fixed in This Release of Communications Suite

This section lists problems fixed in this release of Sun Java Communications Suite.

Uninstall prior Calendar Server localization packages before installing Communications Suite 6

(CI 6.0-0.02 and later, this issue does not exist on CI 6.0-0.01): You must uninstall the prior Calendar Server localization packages before installing Communications Suite 6. Otherwise (at least on Red Hat Linux) the Calendar Server installation fails.

Known Issues in Sun Java Communications Suite

This section describes the known issues that exist in this release of Sun Java Communications Suite. Specifically, this section describes installation and upgrade issues.

JDK upgrade may affect other products' upgrade

The JDK upgrade may affect the upgrade of other products. For details, see Communications Suite 7 Compatibility Issues.

6785668 (fixed in R6u2)

When you install comm_dssetup only, the Communications Suite installer does not install the SASL, NSS, and ICU shared components.
The comm_dssetup script requires SASL because ldapsearch needs it.

This issue occurs only if you run the Communications Suite installer and select comm_dssetup without selecting any other Communications Suite products. This scenario may occur in a multi-host deployment, where comm_dssetup is installed with Directory Server on separate machines, and no Communications Suite products are installed on those machines.

The shared components are installed when you install Communications Suite products such as Messaging Server with comm_dssetup on the same machine.

Note: comm_dssetup is installed and run on machines where Directory Server is located. This issue occurs when you install Directory Server with the Directory Server zip file version, which does not install the SASL, NSS, and ICU shared components in the standard location. This installation method is recommended on the Communications Suite software download site.

If you install Directory Server with the Java ES installer (not recommended because it installs an older version of DSEE), these shared components are installed.

Workaround: When you run commpkg install, when you are prompted to select components to install, select ~1, 3.

This selection directs the Communications Suite installer to install comm_dssetup (selection 3) and the shared components associated with Messaging Server (selection ~1). It does not install the Messaging Server software.

The tilde (~) prefixed to a product selection directs the Communications Suite installer to install the shared components associated with a product, but not the product itself.

6766549 (fixed in comm_dssetup 6.4p4 which is part of R6u2)

comm_dssetup.pl is unable to locate ldapsearch. comm_dssetup.pl may not be able to locate ldapsearch if you install it in an altroot location.
Workaround: Install comm_dssetup.pl in the default root location.

pkgadd will fail on systems with greater than 2 TB of space (fixed in R6u2)

Currently this issue occurs only on ZFS file systems that are available only on Solaris 10. This is due to Solaris bug 6514450, which is fixed in patch 119254-61(sparc)/119255-61(sol x86) or later.

Workaround: Download and apply the patch.

6659438

The Communications Installer fails when a directory contains a space.
The commpkg utility fails when the current directory has a space in its name.
Workaround: Do not use commpkg in a path that contains a space in its name.

6653773

Access Manager 7.1 fails to start if it is deployed to a non-enterprise (EE) version of Application Server 9.1.
For details, see Communications Suite 7 Compatibility Issues.

No Localization Files for Communications Express (R7 no longer delivers CE)

No localization files are available for Communications Express.
You see only English in the Communications Express interface, even if you try to change the preferred language to another choice.

comm_dssetup Utility

If you installed Directory Server Java ES (for example, Java ES 5 U1), the comm_dssetup utility is also installed. The Communications Installer comes with a newer version of comm_dssetup that you need to use.
Workaround: To upgrade to the current version of comm_dssetup, run commpkg upgrade and select 3. If you are upgrading comm_dssetup only, see issue 6785668, above.

You must upgrade and run comm_dssetup.pl before upgrading the other component products that require it. Otherwise the commpkg upgrade of component products might fail (for example, Delegated Administrator and Messaging Server).

Directory Server 5.2 Issues with NSS 3.12

With the NSS 3.12 patch, you must run Directory Server 5.2 Patch 6 or later. See
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-125359-09-1 and http://docs.sun.com/source/820-3003/index.html.
