[Casper] 10.4 vs 10.5 server for test environment

[Ernst, Craig S.]

The issue is the name of the database and how the components connect to it. The database is jamfsoftware, you need to be able to change everything that points to that to a second database with a different name.

I personally would never want to mix test and production on the same box regardless of whether or not it's possible, with the exception of if the second instance was virtualized.

 What would happen if you create 2 domain entries with different ip's  hosted them on the same server,



 youd have jss1.mydomain.com and jss2.mydomain.com and have two different ip's resolving via your dns



 Then using the JSS Setup utility connected to jss1 and installed the JSS and then conencted to jss2 and installed a second JSS



 Both would be hosted on your server via the same NIC but have different databases under different domains and ip's ????

 My test environment is a G5 tower running Tiger Server. Works great. I attempted to use Parallels server for my test environment Leopard server, but performance was an issue for some reason (haven't gotten back around to that yet), and this wasn't even on the same Xserve as my main JSS.

In production I used teamed NICs on my Xserve.

I don't think it's convenient or even easy/possible to run a second instance of the JSS on the same system without some heavy modification.

 Hi-

I'm going to be setting up a test environment on a second xserve.  Basically, another JSS.  2 questions about this:




 1.
 2.
 3.
 4.  The hardware I have available has 10.4 server on it.  Is there that much of a difference, that I should go with the cost of upgrading to 10.5 on that box when it comes to the JSS?

 10. Related, if there is a big enough difference, instead of purchasing another copy of 10.5 server, is there a way to set up a second instance of the JSS (the test JSS) on the same box as my prod JSS?  Related note, my NICs are teamed.  I know this is likely not recommended, but I'm curious anyway.
