RE: Installing 9.0 Gateway - any documentation? ~Umberto Nongeroson 9.Jul.15 07:33 AM a Web browser Sametime Gateway 9.0Windows
The difficulty is that (I am assuming) you have the SSC which manages your STProxy/Meeting/Community in your internal network and the Gateway in the DMZ. This means that you probably do not have all the ports open so that the SSC can communicate with the Gateway.
It's nice to have the Gateway managed by the SSC but opening more points to have that luxury isn't really warranted IMHO. I personally skip all references to the SSC and install it stand alone. If you want to manage it via the SSC then you're goign to have to work out what ports need opening.
The "server is not available" may be a ports issue. You should check the SystemOut.log for the deployment manager and STConsoleServer for obvious clues.
If your install went fine and it's purely a ports issue then you may need to re-register the Gateway with the SSC and hey presto it works obviously after opening ports.
If you want to install it stand alone then the installer will prompt you for LDAP and DB2 information. Below is the response file that comes with the media.

# Response File for IBM Sametime Gateway Installation
#
# Before you can begin the installation of Sametime Gateway you
# will want to first edit this response file with the values appropriate for your
# environment.
#
# Refer to the comments to learn how to use the response file and understand
# the various options. You must carefully complete or change the various values.
# If the values are not completed properly, the install may be unsuccessful.
#
# See the install log for any errors during installation.
#
# IMPORTANT: ALL VALUES MUST BE ENCLOSED IN DOUBLE QUOTES ( "" ).
#
# To use this response file with the installation, specify -options <file-name>
# as a command line argument to the install script, where <file-name> is the
# full path name of this response file:
#
# install -options <file-name>
#
# A common use of a response file is to run the wizard in silent mode. This lets
# the response file author specify wizard settings without having to run the
# wizard in graphical or console mode. To use this response file for silent mode
# execution, use the following command line arguments when running the wizard:
#
# install -options <file-name> -silent
