We're pretty basic in architecture; though I'm about to switch a little. I've got one p630 with a RIO drawer (IBM AIX hardware) with one library manager instance and a passel of (as I call them) "customer-facing" instances. The customer-facing instances serve audiences ranging in size from a single application (IBM content manager) to a single service machine (central mail back-end with ~50M files) to a single service, to a single organizational unit, to "some folks". :) I started with one big instance, and calved new ones off as the administrative distinctions became apparent and important. The most significant calving events tend to be flavored: "Don't let -their- failure affect -me-". - Allen S. Rout
