Share Repository in SAN

HI, my purpose is to have the webapps Alfresco and Share on a pc and the Repository of Alfresco Share on another pc in the same SAN(Storage Area Network).I've read about this and definitely i have to modify this lines of alfresco-global.properties:### database connection properties ###db.driver=org.

Hello,

I believe your mixing a couple of things up…
First of all, I believe you want to separate Alfresco and Share on differente PCs in your local area network (LAN), not SAN.
Second of all, Share's Repository IS the Alfresco webapp.
Third of all, you don't have to adapt the database parameters of Alfresco unless you have separated the database onto another PC as well (different from Alfresco webapp).
And fourth of all, when you separate the Alfresco and Share webapps you need to configure the remote connector of Share to find Alfresco.

You can find a general description of separate deployments <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Ftasks%2Fshare-tomcat-deploy.html">in the official documentation</a> or <a href="http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/kevinr/2010/04/07/developer-tips-for-alfresco-share-33/">a blog post by Kevin Roast</a>. Deployments on separate servers instead of just separate Tomcat instances are similary - you just need to replace 127.0.0.1/localhost with the appropriate DNS name / IP.

Regards
Axel

thank you for your answer!maybe i have made confusion…
i don't want to put Share on a separate Tomcat instance…
My first goal was to put the Sites of Alfresco share and so the Blog and Discussions functionality on a pc and the repository(and so the db) of Alfresco Share on a different pc.
Do you think is it possible?does it makes sense?!
