ADPNet Configuration Management

ADPNet Configuration Management

Overview

This document describes the configuration management model for ADPNet. The configuration management model should be understood in the larger context of the historical purpose of ADPNet and the LOCKSS software function design.

ADPNet In Brief

ADPNet is a collaborative agreement of various Alabama institutions to implement and maintain a distributed digital preservation network. In the original implementation, ADPNet members borrowed heavily from the MetaArchive model of re-purposing LOCKSS for general preservation use.

LOCKSS In Brief

LOCKSS is a Java software appliance running well on the CentOS Linux distribution. LOCKSS nodes are typically installed and updated via RPMs on a repository maintained by LOCKSS. LOCKSS was originally designed for the preservation of e-journals and much of the functionality reflects that.
