Servers in XSP Model

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,I want to know few things about servers in XSP model:-

  1. Will there be any problem if we create an OU for servers?

  2. Installation of additional servers should be with “-asp” parameter or it can be normal install?

  3. On registering additional servers, can we use certifier ID’s of hosted organisations? If yes, will there be any difference in Names.nsf or replication process??

Thanks

  1. Will there be any problem if we create an OU for servers? We never tested this in house. The xACL mechanism in general gives full access to documents in the directory to the xSPs names and very very limited access to the hosted organization names. As a result, I think this would not work well at all. What is the requirement which makes you ask this question?

  2. Installation of additional servers should be with “-asp” parameter or it can be normal install? It can be a normal install. In an xSP domain, the first server install requires the -asp switch. All additional server installs detect the xSP configuration by reading the directory.

  3. On registering additional servers, can we use certifier ID’s of hosted organisations? If yes, will there be any difference in Names.nsf or replication process?? Again, this probably won’t work well. Why would you want to do this?

Hi Peter,Thanks for the quick response.

Pt.1) I have come across an installation where servers are in different OU’s. There are few problems we are facing there so I just wanted to confirm.

Pt.3) We want to dedicate servers for few the Organisations.

Thanks

Hello Peteri have the same needs

I have tested this, and that’s true it does not work well, see my post here

The requirement is to host and manage customers dedicated servers, in the xSP Farm

Because you cannot mutualise some tools like step, sametime or QuickPlace you need to dedicate a server per customer. But you also need to keep it in a manageable unique environment where XSP mode helps a lot
