What can you expect from this session?
• Best Practices for deploying IBM Notes in virtual environments
• Giving an overview on the ideal IBM Notes architecture in virtual environments
• A recipe to set up and pre-configure the perfect IBM Notes Client | ICAA installation in a virtual environment
![Page 6: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What we typically SEE at customers
• Administrators that cannot invest much time in troubleshooting IBM Notes issues because of
too many responsibilities for other IT systems
steadily increasing complexity of IT systems
missing or unknown knowledge sources
“wrong“ or missing tools/solutions
• Administrators agree to set up IT systems when requested but rarely have time to adequately maintain them going forward
![Page 7: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What we typically SEE at customers
• Aged IBM Notes installations in virtual environments that are working “somehow”
Mostly Notes data directories on network drives which cause
• long startup times of IBM Notes (up to 60 sec)
• hangs and wait times due to interruptions and poor network latency
• high network traffic as IBM Notes is constantly reading / writing data
• frequently corrupted local applications
• permanently occupied disk space on file servers / SAN / NAS
– 120MB on average per user
– often because of old and outdated files, even templates
![Page 8: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What we typically DO at customers
• Sparking their enthusiasm for IBM Notes
Especially in virtual environments, IBM Notes can be optimized to start up fast, run smooth and contribute to a positive end user IT experience by
• switching to local Multi-user installations
• frequently maintaining contents of IBM Notes data folders
• relieving network, file servers and / or SAN / NAS systems
• Encouraging administrators to spend a little more time on troubleshooting and analyzing IBM Notes
Solve root causes, not symptoms!
![Page 9: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

![Page 10: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
To roam or not to roam: that is the question
• Given the previous reasons why IBM Notes in virtual environments should not have any files in the network, the following logical questions arise
How can personal IBM Notes data folders of end users be maintained locally on the virtual environment servers?
• Think of having N servers in the farm where personal end user data potentially needs to be on every single server
How do end users get their most recent IBM Notes configuration no matter on which server in the farm they log on?
How to ensure that disk space used by IBM Notes data folders is cleared after log off?
How to avoid transfers of large IBM Notes data folders per user during log on and log off which increase wait times and cause network traffic?
![Page 11: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To roam or not to roam: that is the question
• The answer is: Roaming!
To provide end users with their latest IBM Notes configuration, their data needs to be roamed onto the server they log on to start their session
Roaming can be achieved through own procedures (e. g. logon script),Domino Roaming or third-party solutions
![Page 12: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

BP: IBM Notes & ICAA installation
![Page 15: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
BP: IBM Notes & ICAA install command lines
• IBM Notes Client 9.0.1 (Standard) install command line
setup.exe /s /v"SETMULTIUSER=1 MULTIUSERBASEDIR=C:\Users\!USERNAME!\AppData\Local MULTIUSERCOMMONDIR=C:\ProgramData CITRIX=1 /lime "C:\Temp\NOTES901_msiinst.log" /qn"
• IBM Client Application Access 1.0.0.1 (ICAA) install command line
setup.exe /s /v"SETMULTIUSER=1 MULTIUSERBASEDIR=C:\Users\!USERNAME!\AppData\Local MULTIUSERCOMMONDIR=C:\ProgramData CITRIX=1 /lime "C:\Temp\ICAA1001_msiinst.log" /qn"
![Page 16: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
BP: ODS (templates)
• The ODS of local IBM Notes applications and templates should always be the native one according to the used IBM Notes release (see next slide)
• Although any IBM Notes version can deal with older ODS versions it causes the need of internal conversion during usage
• That causes unnecessary file I/O operations on disk
• While most administrators take care of upgrading the ODS of applications, templates are often not taken into account
However templates are also touched by IBM Notes quite often and should be optimized as well to gain a performance boost
![Page 17: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
BP: ODS (templates)
ODS = On Disk Structure
• ODS 16 = Notes 2
• ODS 17 = Notes 3
• ODS 20 = Notes 4 (or templates)
• ODS 41 = Notes 5
• ODS 43 = Notes 6 & 7
• ODS 48 = Notes 8.0
• ODS 51 = Notes 8.5 / 9.0
• ODS 52 = Notes 9.0.1
The difference between ODS 43 and 52 = up to 80% LESS FILE I/O; average 50% less.
![Page 18: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BP: ODS (templates)
• To upgrade the ODS of all shared templates in a virtual IBM Notes Multi-user installation the administrator can follow these steps
• Add the following line to the shared notes.ini in %ProgramData%\IBM\Notes\Data
CREATE_R9_DATABASES=1
• Make sure that the Administrator account used to log on to the virtual server does not have a personal IBM Notes Data directory yet (in %LocalAppData%)
• From a command prompt type the following commands
cd “%ProgramData%\IBM\Notes\Data\Shared”
“%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IBM\Notes\ncompact” -ODS -*
• Copy all upgraded templates over to other servers if needed
![Page 19: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BP: notes.ini
• A properly configured shared notes.ini can be essential for smooth running virtual IBM Notes environments
• The shared notes.ini is used by every IBM Notes client session for which there’s no personal IBM Notes data folder yet
• It is located in %ProgramData%\IBM\Notes\Data
• It is used as a template notes.ini out of which all parameters are transferred into a users personal notes.ini upon the very first IBM Notes start
• Find some useful shared notes.ini parameters on the next slide (additionally to the standard entries)
![Page 20: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BP: notes.ini
• Ports=TCPIP
• TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0
Note that this sets port compression to OFF, which is appropriate in virtual environments; Port compression adds 5% CPU overhead and with 60 concurrent sessions this would result in needing 3 dedicated CPUs for just port compression
• DISABLE_CLIENTRECORD=1
This disables logging of client information back into the public address book as all virtual environment users share the same servers in the farm anyway
![Page 21: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BP: notes.ini
• CREATE_R9_DATABASES=1
Enables IBM Notes 9.0.1 to use the latest ODS version for newly created local applications. Make sure to not use CREATE_R8_DATABASES (Lotus Notes 8.0) or CREATE_R85_DATABASES (IBM Notes 8.5 / 9.0) to avoid the use of an older ODS in IBM Notes 9.0.1
• Log=,1,0,7,40000
This disables logging, which is optional but gains a slight performance improvement
• ConfigFile=H:\NotesConfig\config.txt
For ConfigFile details see next topic
![Page 22: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

• All parameters for copy & paste
Ports=TCPIP
TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0

BP: ConfigFile
• IBM Notes can be set up unattended by using a so called ConfigFile – often referred to as config.txt or setup.txt
• The ConfigFile needs to be referenced in the shared notes.ini using the parameter ConfigFile=Drive: or UNC\folder\filename.txt (see previous topic)
• For more details the following IBM technote provides some very good examples on how to create a ConfigFile as generic as possible
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21112835
![Page 24: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
BP: Frequent maintenance
• IBM Notes data folders need frequent maintenance to reduce the probability of local database corruption and damage
• At least the following local databases should get periodical treatment
Compact desktop8.ndk
Compact names.nsf
Compact bookmark.nsf
Compact log.nsf
• Quite frankly, this is a challenge (needs scripting / third-party solutions)
![Page 25: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
BP: jvm.shareclasses
• In IBM Notes the jvm.shareclasses file (*xpdplat_.jvm_G11) is stored in each users Data\workspace\.config\org.eclipse.osgi folder and has a size of 64MB
• To optimize file I/O, speed up the IBM Notes Client start and save storage (about 900MB per server == 15users), this file can be shared across all users of the virtual environment server
1. Create the following folder “C:\Temp\NotesShareClasses“ and set folder rights for “everyone” to read / write access
2. Change the value of this parameter “jvm.shareclasses.loc=“ in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\IBM\Notes\framework\rcp\deploy\jvm.properties
• from “${rcp.data}/.config/org.eclipse.osgi“
• to “C:/Temp/NotesShareClasses“ it’s important to use “/” instead of “\”
![Page 26: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BP: JVM memory allocation
• To speed up the IBM Notes JVM it’s useful to optimize memory settings
• Open %ProgramFiles(x86)%\IBM\Notes\framework\rcp\deploy\jvm.properties
Modify vmarg.Xmx from “-Xmx256m” to “-Xmx1024m”
Modify vmarg.Xms from “-Xms64m” to “-Xms256m”
• The implicit rules
Do not change vmarg.Xmx to more than -Xmx1024m regardless of how much memory you have
vmarg.Xms should always be ¼ of what you changed Xmx to
![Page 27: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
BP: Workspace improvement
• Every IBM Notes Client start in a virtual environment is a first (setup) start and takes at least 23 sec
• ~65% - 70% of time during first starts is used to build the workspace folder(at least 15 sec)
• A typical new workspace folder (IBM Notes 9.0.1 FP5IF1) consists of
>200 files
>150 folders
>85 MB (including 64MB *xpdplat_.jvm_G11 file)
• Building the workspace folder causes lots of file I/O
![Page 28: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
BP: Workspace improvement
• Accelerate the IBM Notes Client start to be >65% faster (with less file I/O)
1. With a non-admin user (Windows + IBM Notes) run an initial setup of IBM Notes
2. Start IBM Notes 2 times and wait for 2-3minutes each
3. Shutdown IBM Notes
4. Create the following folder %ProgramData%\IBM\Notes\Data\Common
5. Copy the workspace folder from %LocalAppData%\IBM\Notes\Data to%ProgramData%\IBM\Notes\Data\Common
![Page 29: IBM Connect 2016 BP1491: Virtual, Faster, Better! How to Virtualize the Rich Client and Browser Plugin](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58a171221a28ab04278b4e29/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
