Hi Sue:
See remarks inline below, but the general answer is that the SRB
extension was not designed to partition storage along collection lines,
so I don't think it would help you out without a fair bit of additional
work. Also, SRB has been replaced with a new platform called iRods
(http://www.irods.org) which should support the SRB DSpace extensions,
but I'm not aware of any sites to point you to who have implemented it.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
We have some unique collection access/authorization issues and
we’re trying to figure out if there’s a way to implement the basic
scenario depicted in the diagram below. What we’re trying to avoid is
having to implement the DSpace application on two servers, and having
to deal with loading documents and metadata onto two separate
servers. ***Note: We cannot store these documents on the same
server.
1. Is implementing SRB in DSpace simply a matter of
correctly configuring the dspace.cfg file? Is there any separate
software you need to install on your server?
Yes, you need to install the SRB server itself (or have access to one
configured elsewhere)
2. Has anyone actually implemented SRB in DSpace and,
if so I would like to see a “real” example of how you configured all
the “srb.*.assetstore#” parameters in dspace.cfg? The documentation
does not say much about how these parameters should be configured, for
example I have no idea what to use for “srb.mcatzone”,
“srb.mdasdomainname”, or “srb.defaultstorageresource”….??
Most of these properties make more sense if you have a SRB server
configured.
3. Is there any plan to configure a future release of
dspace so that you can control which assetstore an Item/Document get
written to based on Collection id? Ultimately we’d like to do this so
we wouldn’t have to keep manipulating assetstore.incoming based on
which Collection was being loaded.
Not that I know, but you might want to open a JIRA to capture the
request
4. Can anyone suggest any alternatives? We’ve also
looked at “registration”, but that also duplicates metadata in two
separate instances of DSpace from what I understand.
Thanks in advance,
Sue
