Many thanks for this (and others for their replies) . . . This is exactly the information I was after and have noted it all to take to my DBAs tomorrow :-) Much appreciated, Mike Michael White eLearning Liaison and Development (eLD) Information Services S8, Library University of Stirling Stirling SCOTLAND FK9 4LA Email: [email protected] Tel: +44 (0) 1786 466877 Fax: +44 (0) 1786 466880 http://www.stir.ac.uk/is/staff/about/teams/aldt/#eld -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of helix84 Sent: 05 June 2013 10:17 To: Michael White Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Separating application and database server? Hi Mike, here's a recent thread on the issue that discusses things you're asking: http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/Postgres-configuration-with-DSpace-td4663937.html Pointing DSpace to use Postgres on another machine is trivial (assuming you have firewalls, vlans, DNS and routing set up properly), in dspace.cfg, change db.url to point to the appropriate server. That's all. I do not see almost any benefit in running the DB server on a separate VM if there's only the DSpace database there. OTOH, if you already have a Postgres server with other databases, adding the dspace database and having the DBA taking care of them all can be beneficial.
