May I Install Alfresco community server on NAS . (including databases and repository files). if so. what specific model of NAS should i acquire. and probably some instructions on how to do so.. Thanks
It is not recommended to install Alfresco on a NAS. Instead you install Alfresco on a standalone system and then mount the NAS as a drive on the Alfresco server via CIFS/NFS and then point "dir.contentstore" (property found in alfresco-global.properties) to the NAS drive to store content.
Probably my mostly worried on a standalone system. is when it will cause a full system failure and probably will have a hard time to retrieve the database files on it. Not like on NAS we can create a daily clone back up or redundant system that will keep the database at all times
You can also backup the database when running on a standalone system and use that backup to reinitialize the database after a failure. The database can also be a separate server from Alfresco, which would be beneficial performance-wise since Alfresco and database do not compete for same CPU, memory and IO resources in that case, as long as the network latency is minimal.
Nice to know that i can separate the database and the repository from server and move it to the NAS. Since im new using the Alfresco community. May i know if i can configure it to any model of NAS or is there only a specific Model of NAS should i Acquire to do it? Next May i know how will i configure or what configuration should be done for the Database and repository to be addressed to a NAS folder.
sorry to ask that, as we are using
Alfresco Community v5.0.0(d r99759-b2) schema 8022
so may I know if this version already support moving content store to a separate NAS from a shared SAN?
just change configuration to point to new content store directory ?
as you know NAS is not as fast as SAN, so any IOPS or disk latency requirement on use with Alfresco Community v5.0.0 ?
any NAS data thoughput requirement fir Alfresco to work well ?
@dba100 please stop floating old threads and open one with your question.
