To Set Up Communication Between Two Instant Messaging Servers in a Server Pool

Steps

Gather the information listed in Table 5–1.

Change to im_cfg_base on the server iimA.siroe.com.

See Instant Messaging Server Directory Structure for instructions on locating im_cfg_base.

Open iim.conf.

See iim.conf File Syntax for instructions on locating and modifying iim.conf.

Note –
The iim.conf file should be owned by the Instant Messaging server account you created during installation. If the iim.conf file cannot be read by the Instant Messaging server account, the server and multiplexor will be unable to read the configuration. Additionally, you might lose the ability to edit iim.conf.

Modify the parameter values to match your deployment.

Table 6–1 lists the parameters you need to modify. If the parameters do not exist in iim.conf, add them. The following example shows the section of iim.conf on iimA.siroe.com corresponding to the server-to-server communications that you need to modify:

iim_server.serverid=iimA.siroe.com
iim_server.password=secretforiimA
iim_server.domain=siroe.com
iim_server.coservers=coserver1
iim_server.coserver1.host=iimB.siroe.com:9919
iim_server.coserver1.serverid=iimB.siroe.com
iim_server.coserver1.password=secret4iimB
iim_server.coserver1.domain=siroe.com

Follow steps 2 through 4 for the iim.conf file on server iimB.siroe.com.

The following example shows the section of iim.conf on iimB.siroe.com corresponding to the server-to-server communications that you need to modify:

iim_server.serverid=iimB.siroe.com
iim_server.password=secret4iimB
iim_server.domain=siroe.com
iim_server.coservers=coserver1
iim_server.coserver1.host=iimA.siroe.com:9919
iim_server.coserver1.serverid=iimA.siroe.com
iim_server.coserver1.password=secretforiimA
iim_server.coserver1.domain=siroe.com

Save the changes and close iim.conf.

Refresh the configuration on both servers.
imadmin refresh server
Caution –
Do not use the imadmin start, imadmin stop, or imadmin refresh commands in an HA environment with Sun Cluster. Instead, use the Sun Cluster administrative utilities.
