Integrating a single domain (Example)

This example illustrates how a fictitious company, Renovations, integrates servers in a single IBM® Domino® domain with the IBM SmartCloud® Notes® service.

About this task

Renovations plans to move the mail files of 500 of its 1000 users to mail servers in the service. The mail files of the other 500 users will remain on-premises on the company mail servers. The service users and the on-premises users will communicate by mail, look up free time for each other, schedule meetings with each other, and reserve shared meeting resources.

The current Domino deployment at Renovations consists of a single Domino domain, Renovations. This domain includes the servers described in the following table.

Table 1. Servers in the Renovations domain
Domino server name Current Domino version Current server function
Dirhub1/Renovations 8.0 Directory hub that replicates to the other servers in the domain
Mailhub1/Renovations 8.0 Mail routing hub that routes mail to and from other servers in the domain
Mail1/Renovations 8.0 User mail server that is also used to look up the free time of users
Mail2/Renovations 8.0 User mail server that is also used to look up the free time of users

To integrate these on-premises servers with the service, Bill Ranney, the lead Domino administrator at Renovations, performs the following steps.

  1. Preparing the on-premises environment.
  2. Configuring the service.
Note: This example does not illustrate the process of provisioning users, which occurs after the service is configured.
