We run both CF and Spectra on a cluster of Solaris machine... Licenses are needed for all machines...
There are pitfalls in doing this, especially in CFA_page and CFA_container, these tags look for Entries (when registering new objects) in the Sitemodel in the server scope, if they find no entry, then they create a new page or container, However the problem arises when one cluster machine creates a new object and only updates IT'S server vars, the next machine to hit the same code will create its OWN new object, then they both look at different objects, until the machines are rebooted and get all confused when finding two objects in the database..... To get round this problems you either refresh the sitemodel before each creation of a new page or container... or Stop the tags when they attempt to create a new object and require an override (in the URL) to create the new object (and another URL param to force the server to refresh its server scope) If you want to see code, then just ask Steven Harper -----Original Message----- From: Jared Clinton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 February 2002 06:38 To: Spectra-Talk Subject: RE: Clustered ColdFusion Servers for Spectra Mr Loke, You will need to install CF, Spectra on both and implement some type of load balancing. Also there are considerations as to the CF application you are coding/running as well. I'm quite sure that both CF and Spectra licences are per machine. In which case you need licences for each installation you do. I'm sure someone will be much more informative than this, but for the time being..

They intend to increase the number of boxes from 1 to 2. If we were to do this, do we have to install ColdFusion AND Spectra on both boxes in order to work? In this case, how many licenses should we purchase?
