Domino Server Setup Using SSH

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi. The only way I can connect to our remote servers is by ssh into a hub server then ssh to the remote server. In other words, there is no direct route from my network to my remote servers. How would I go about setting up this server remotely. I can ftp all the necessary files. All of our servers are Linux.

Thanks for any advice.

Can you or can you not directly connect to the remote domino server via ssh?

There is remote server setup, but it requires a direct connection to the server.

SSH is very excellent for setting things up, but now that there is a Java remote install it could offer some assistance.

Feel free to email me if you have more specific questions.

HTH – Cheers

I cannot directly ssh to the remote server. I have to ssh to our hub then ssh from there to the remote servers.

Thanks

Someone else may have an more direct solution but you could use the Remote Setup feature of Domino to generate the setup file and the put the Domino server into setup listen mode and play the setup file to the server via the Admin client. Here’s a URL to the help doc on this http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/domino_notes/Rnext/help6_admin.nsf/0/4b50b1100495666b85256c1d003906fb?OpenDocument

Thanks Jeff.

When I enter server - remote on the hub server I get the following message followed by the prompt:

[notes@ssm-server notesdata]$ server -remote

./java -ss512k -Xoss5M -cp jhall.jar:cfgdomserver.jar:Notes.jar lotus.domino.setup.WizardManagerDomino -data /data/notesdata -remote

Please edit your shell’s DISPLAY environment variable to reflect an unlocked terminal that you would like to launch the Domino Setup Program on.

*Warning all runtime debug info will be logged to /data/notesdata/setuplog.txt

[notes@ssm-server notesdata]$

Any ideas?

Thanks

Subject: Don’t think you can do that.

I think server -remote launces a Java application. Get to the server you want to set up (SSH to hub, SSH to new server) and put the server in listen mode by server -listen. Then, run the remotesetup program from a local client. You may need to install this application. Also, this is assuming that your new server is accessible by TCP/IP and port 8585 is not being blocked.
