[EP-tech] Antwort: Server information request

We have a configuration that uses a Cisco load balancer, two web servers, a master db and a slave db server.
The indexer runs on the master db server; cron jobs and backups on both db servers.
The load balancer distributes requests according to their IP range to one of the web servers. If the web server does not answer, it routes the query to the other one.

The only thing we detected so far is that OAI2 does not like load balancing if data is harvested in large amounts (we have one client who downloads the whole repo every night) - records are suddenly left out  - observable, but not reproducible. We did not yet find the reason for this behavior, but we know that it is produced as load balancing is active.

In all other cases, everything is running fine and stable.

Best regards,

Martin

Hi all,
Is anyone running their eprints installation in a load-sharing configuration?  Have you had any issue around db tables / file share locking or anything else that occurred that you hadn't expected?

Thanks in advance,

Alan
