At the moment Lotus Domino 7 is not supported on Linux Intel platform for 
ScanMail 3.0 for Domino!
When will ScanMail for Domino (SMD) 3.0 support Lotus Domino 7?
http://esupport.trendmicro.com/support/viewxml.do?ContentID=en-126145

*****
I am running ScanMail 3.0 on Lotus Domino 7 for a long time now. 
I am using Suse 9.1 Pro and Lotus Domino 7.0.1 and FP1!
*****

Here is my procedure to install ScanMail 3.0 for Domino:
- make a backup of directory smd (/local/notesdata); most important dabase 
are: smconf.nsf, smvlog.nsf, smency.nsf. smquar.nsf, smftypes.nsf because 
these databases are replica copies if you have installed ScanMail  on more 
then 1 server!
- shutdown the Domino server
- uninstall ScanMail (/opt/trend/SMD/Uninstall/SMD3UninstallerLinux.bin 
-console) If you can't uninstall using the uninstaller then you have to do 
it manually!
- install the initial ScanMail build smd30-linux-b1566
- make a backup of smd directory (initial installation)
- restore the five important scanmail databases
- start the domino server
- install ScanMail for Lotus Domino for Linux 3.0 Service Pack 2 while 
domino server is running!!
- just wait with the following update until the design update of scanmail 
databases is completed!!
- install ScanMail for Lotus Domino for Linux 3.0, SP2 patch 1 - build 
3486 while domino is running!!
- if necessary run server console command: load smdupd and/or tell smdreal 
reload

Success!

Re: [suse-domino] SMDReal crash







How often is it crashing?  What is it doing when it crashes? 
Are you collecting debug info?  If not, start doing that.  I'm pretty 
versed with looking at scanmail debug logs and would be willing to look at 
those if you'd like. 

I recently upgraded from 6.5.4 to 6.5.5.  There were some undocumented 
changes that IBM implemented in the server executables.
I'm not sure how you start and stop domino, but there are problems with 
calling server -q to stop domino.  They want us using the server -c "quit" 
command.

We weren't and it was wreaking holy havoc on domino.  Also, make sure that 
Trend Micro supports domino 7.0.1 FP1.  It would not surprise me, if they 
didn't yet. 

I recommend opening a case with Trend.  They won't do much for you until 
you have debug logs, but they'll tend to your issues once you get 
debugging turned on. 
Lastly, before you do anything, copy your configuration database (and any 
other database you need to save).  Shut domino down and do a clean install 
of scanmail.  Once 
scanmail is re-installed, before you start domino back up, copy your 
copied config database back into your notesdata directory.  This fixed my 
crashing issues when we upgraded 6.5.4 to 6.5.5.

Trend's knowledge base also has a few entries that talk about crashing 
when you upgrade domino to a new release.  It is good practice to add a 
scanmail re-install to your domino upgrade procedures.

I have a lot of experience working with scanmail for domino on SLES.  Let 
me know if I can be of any more help.
