Hi James,

I read your DSpace clustering HOWTO (http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/HOWTO_Clustering) and I have some proposals for improvements. In the proposed architecture, you could directly attach the backends to the RAIDb-1 controllers and have a full RAIDb-1 configuration.You can also have the top controllers use RAIDb-2 but you should be careful about table distribution to make sure that no distributed join is required (not supported) and that you always have at least one copy of each table available from each controller in case of a controller outage. As a rule of thumb, you always want to replicate tables as much as you can except for heavily written tables where you can reduce the number of replicas to prevent too much slowdown when writing to these tables.

Don't hesitate to post on the mailing list if you need any help.
Thanks for your interest in Sequoia,
Emmanuel
