The Domino cross platform start/stop and diagnostic script has been written to unify and simplify running Domino on Linux and UNIX. The start script is designed to be "one-stop shopping" for all kind of operations done on the Linux/UNIX prompt. The script can start and stop the server, provides an interactive console and run NSD in different flavors.
This script is designed to run with a dedicated user for each partition. Out of the box the script is configured to use the "notes" user/group and the standard directories for binaries (/opt/hcl/domino) and the data directory (/local/notesdata). You should setup all settings in the script configuration file.
Note: Linux systemd (CentOS 7 RHEL 7/ SLES 12) requires root permissions for start/stop. One way to accomplish this is to grant "sudo" permissions for the "rc_domino" script. See the "Enable Startup with sudo" section for details.
If you configure your Domino environment with the standard path names and users names, you can use this standard configuration and install script.
The default configuration is
User : notes
Group: notes
Binary Directory: /opt/hcl/domino
Data Directory : /local/notesdata
The standard configuration is highly recommended. This will make your life easier for installing the server. You can change the data directory in the rc_domino_config file. But the binary location and the notes:notes user and group should stay the same.
I would stay with the standard /local/notesdata. This could be a spearate mount-point. And you could also use the following directory structure for the other directories.
/local/translog
/local/nif
/local/daos
Each of them could be a separate file-system/disk.
If you have the standard environemnt you just have to untar the start-script files and start the install_script. It copies all the scripts and configuration and after installation you can use the "domino" command for everything. The script is pre-configured and will work for older versions with init.d and also with the newer systemd.
- The first command untars the files
- The install_scripts writes all required files into the right locations with the right owner and permissions.
- The next command enables the service (works for init.d and systemd)
- And finally the server is started
tar -xzf domino-startscript_v3.8.0.taz
cd domino-startscript
./install_script
domino service on
domino start
