15.1 Planning a Multi-Server Vibe Configuration

15.1.1 Lucene Index Server Considerations

Before you can implement a multi-server Novell Vibe configuration, you must move your Lucene Index Server away from the initial Vibe server, as described in Section 14.0, Installing the Lucene Index Server on a Remote Server.

15.1.2 Vibe File Repository Considerations

Before you implement a multi-server Novell Vibe configuration, you must plan the Vibe file repository for the clustered Vibe servers. Your configuration must comply with the following restrictions:

  • The Vibe file repository must be placed in a shared location that is accessible to each Tomcat instance

  • All Tomcat instances must be configured with the same path leading to the shared storage

For background information on the contents of the Vibe file repository, see Section 9.2, Distributing Different Data Types to Different Locations.
