My iPhone Domino Server

Category Administration IBM/Lotus Domino ND8 Linux
Because our primary mail servers are ND7, in order to take advantage of the UltraLite in 8.0.2, I've created a separate server running RHEL5 and ND8.0.2, just to host a few mail accounts that Must Have iPhone E-mail.

Works.

I'll write up the steps in more detail, next week. But, for now I'll capture the highlights:

  • Cross-certified 8.0.2 (beta) server with the ND7 mail servers.
  • Replicate mail files, with certain conditions: (1) only at editor level so design changes and ACLs are not exchanged, (2) the design on the ND8 server has the latest Mail8 architecture, (3) only 30 days of e-mail are replicated (with size reduction). I'll add Single Copy Template, but for now the file sizes are workable.
  • Created an application to stamp critical views (on schedule) to keep the contacts, journal, calendar and task entries current (otherwise, they are older than 30 days, and won't stay in the replica).

There are some "gotchas" that you need to be aware of when mixing different releases, different templates, and working within the same domain (for mail routing). The UltraLite design isn't frozen, yet. So now I have the ability to roll out more accounts to give IBM some feedback from real users.
