SHOW102 - IBM Lotus Notes and IBM Lotus Domino on Linux 101

Lotus Domino 8.x on Linux is one of the most stable platforms and is getting more and more popular. This session provides a jumpstart, best practices and tips on running Lotus Domino on Ubuntu 8.0.4. This session covers installation, troubleshooting and will deliver technical information about differences between Linux and the Windows platform. The installation session covers Lotus Domino 8.5 on a preinstalled Ubuntu server with a step by step installation instruction including a free available start script used by many Linux and Unix Lotus Domino environments. The appendix of the slides provides a cook book for Linux commands you should know for your daily work.

I posted the original final Symphony file because the pictures loose fidelity when converted to a PDF (tried everything also spoke with Development in the Lab at Lotusphere -- issue with PDF conversion routines, cannot use OO because of different formatting and missing fonts).

BP112 In the Land of the Blind, Logs Make You King
Speakers: Wouter Aukema, Daniel Nashed

Having to engage the right specialist for your project can be tough, especially when multiple disciplines are needed as a team or external expertise is involved. This session will show why and how standard IBM Lotus Domino server logs are such a vital source to streamline your team and to convince its members and your management. Using real customers cases, we show how to obtain and combine log data into factual observations that bridge all competences of a Lotus Domino environment. We lead you through the entire process of collecting, processing and analyzing log data and give you tools and techniques that anyone can use. You will walk out of our session with a stimulus and ability to reproduce what we have showed.

BP402 Demystifying IBM Lotus Domino and SMTP Messaging
Daniel Nashed (Nash!Com)

Lotus Domino SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and the right configuration is still a mystery for many admins. This session gives an overview of Lotus Domino messaging configuration and best practices for larger environments with high availability scenarios. We will demonstrate how Lotus Domino and SMTP messaging works under the hood and provide detailed information about MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), S/MIME (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) and conversion options. This session will also contain tips and parameters for how to monitor and troubleshoot your environment. It will also help you to understand and implement gateway configurations (e.g. Relay hosts, Firewalls, ... ).

Note: The parameter RouterMaxConcurrentDeliverySize=n defines the value in bytes instead as stated in the presentation in Kbytes!!!
See new TN #1108351 for details. The presentation has been updated to reflect the right unit.





JMP103 Operating System Soup - Which Flavor Tastes Best with IBM Lotus Domino?
Daniel Nashed (Nash!Com), Marc Luescher (IBM)

In the first part of the session, we'll provide a technology overview of the current supported operating systems for Lotus Domino, their strength and trade-offs. The session will cover Linux/AIX/Solaris as well as Windows, including platform differences for 32/64 bit hardware, +/- points for performance, scalability, security, TCO. The second part of the session outlines what operating system differences mean for Lotus Domino admins and developers, and what the possible workarounds are. The third part will provide customer samples and lessons learned from customers migrating from one flavor to another. This will include W32 to Linux/UNIX and UNIX to Linux cases but also potential gains that can be achieved while upgrading to a newer release of the operating system.
