Hi Arturo, In grid mode you have the ability to separate server components ( UGAIM +R ) I'm not sure at all that "clustering" will be possible with the current development state. Anyway, one thing you could experiment is the following :
- First Server : Database + UGAIM - Second server : R ( Region Server ) Another idea ( depends on the number of region you're hosting ) : Spliting the regions into 2 groups, then, run one region server on each server. Of course you cannot run multiple copies of UGAIM. Another point is to carefully monitor your database ( MySQL in my case ), running maintenance tasks, ... I have found that bad response times with MySQL have a very bad impact on the whole OpenSim server performances. You could also use a database cluster. @Gavin : Not sure it's a good idea to run OpenSim into virtual machines, not in a production environment. You really have too many performance problem with the current virtualization tools ( I have only tested xen ). Hope this help, regards, Ursula.
