You can configure Novell Vibe to run on a single server or multiple servers, depending on the size and needs of your Vibe site.
|
Configuration |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Single Server |
By default, the Vibe Installation program installs all Vibe components on the same server. |
|
Remote Database Server |
For better performance and scalability, you can install the Vibe database on a remote server. |
|
Remote Lucene Index Server |
For better performance and scalability, you can install the Lucene index on a remote server. |
|
Multiple Vibe Servers |
By running Novell Vibe on multiple servers, you can achieve high availability, including failover and load balancing, depending on how you configure your servers. |
|
Multiple Remote Lucene Servers |
Your Novell Vibe site depends on the Lucene Index Server for full functionality. Running multiple Lucene Index Servers provides high availability, so that if one Lucene Index Server goes down, Vibe users can still access the Vibe site because other Lucene Index Servers are still available. |
|
Multiple Remote Database Servers |
Each of the three databases supported by Vibe each has its own approach to clustering the database server. Information about clustering database servers is available on the Internet. |
For more information about which configuration type will best achieve the needs of your organization, see Section 2.6, Recommended Hardware Configurations Based on System Performance.
For more information about how to set up these configurations, see Section IV, Multi-Server Configurations and Clustering.
