Not sure if this is a Sametime or Domino question.
I am about to create a new LINUX VM server to test Sametime Chat (we do not need Sametime Premium). There is a lot of information about installing Sametime but nothing on the initial configuration of the Linux server.
Note: There is no separate LDAP service so will use Domino 14 as LDAP.
Normally for Domino VM we would create the server with disk structure something like this:
/local = max
/ = 70GB
swap = 16GB
/home = 50GB
/boot = 1024
I see that the MongoDb suggests 200GB space. Does the Sametime data run in /local or do we need a separate mount point?
Or is there a suggested/recommended server build for Sametime and Domino?
I don’t want to set up the server to find that Sametime has runout of disk space somewhere.
For a Sametime Chat-only deployment (non-Premium):
Disk Space: HCL recommends a base minimum of 50–100 GB for Chat (unlike the 200 GB required for Sametime Premium Meetings + Chat). Actual database growth depends on your retention policies and traffic:
Test / Low Traffic: ~20 GB
Moderate Traffic: ~100 GB
High Traffic: 1 TB+ (SSD recommended)
Installation Space: MongoDB requires at least 1 GB available in /tmp during installation and 4 GB of configurable space out of its total binary requirement.
Recommendation: Do not host MongoDB data inside /local alongside Domino. Keep /local dedicated to /local/notesdata, and create a separate mount point/volume for MongoDB. This prevents high-volume persistent chat data, attachments, or log growth from impacting Domino or filling /.
