Pretty much anything you want to do can be accomplished it depends on how complicated/robust you want to make it.
If it helps think of Rivendell as simply a piece of client software. All it needs is somewhere to store audio and somewhere to access a MySQL database. Its entirely up to you how you want to provide the storage and MySQL. However don't confuse Windows network shares with NFS storage. In fact its easier if you just remove Windows from the equation as far as storage is concerned. As for the servers themselves, you can easily set up 2 fail over servers using DBRD to automatically mirror two hard drives/raids that house the mysql and audio. Or you can go all out and install GlusterFS along with heartbeat and a bunch of other HA tools to make a whole server cluster that in theory fails over to a different server if things break. One thing I've found is that the more you build the more latency you have to deal with so a simple two server fail over works for me. You can even do off site syncing via simple cron rysnc jobs and mysql replication. In essence, if you can imagine it, you can build it. -- Regards, Wayne Merricks The Voice Asia On Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:17:11 +0100, Axiom Radio <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hello Fred, > > > On this topic:>We have sites (both 1.x and 2.x) with well over a dozen > workstations.
