How to config multi repositories in one Alfresco instance?

How to config multi-Repositories in one Alfresco instance ?

such as in ' alfresco-global.properties' , I can config multi-Repositories locations:

dir1.root=\\server1\driver1\alf_data

...

dir2.root=\\server1\driver2\alf_data

...

dir3.root=\\server2\driver1\alf_data

And I can manage all these Repositories in this Alfresco instance.

Benefit:
1) I can manage them in one Alfresco instance.
2) I can increase my storage capacity anytime to add new Repositories.
3) improve search&index performance as there are many different Storage hard disk.

How to do that?

Also we can track this issue at Alfresco official forum

Alfresco does not have a multi-repository feature. You always have one repository, but:

  • you can add & manage different content Stores as Tahir mentioned.
  • you can also use non-file-system content stores like EMC Centera, NetApp Filer...
  • you can also use elastic content stores like Caringo CAStor
  • you can enable multi tenancy mode
  • without extensive programming you'll always have 1 central DB & 1 central search index for now

You can just add Content Stores to Alfresco, take a look here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Store_Selector or here: http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/store-manage-content.html

So basically, you're adding a new store to Alfresco next to the workSpace/SpacesStore. By adding an Aspect to a content you can move the content to the other location.

Probably you'll need to do some more stuff, but this will get you started.

You can do it with store selector. But I heard its been removed in 4.2 community. Yet to verify it.
