Couple of questions regarding configuring targets

System

Hi,

I have read through the manuals, and I am not finding what I need. That is likely because I am not 100% sure what to look for, so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I need to add 4 additional runtime environments to our setup. All 4 will be Linux based.

With that in mind, how do I add an additional deployment targets to the OOTB LSCS v7.2.1 deployment? These will need to have a different target directory than the existing as they are different platforms.

I know that each environment needs its own database instance, but two of the environemts will be identical. One of the Linux servers will replace the current windows based runtime host. Is it ok to configure the new Linux server to use the existing database currently in use by the windows server?

Our current setup is a Windows 2003 server running TeamSite/LiveSite/OpenDeploy 7.2.1. pushing to a windows 2003 server running LSDS/LSCS/Apache and tomcat and a SQL 2008 server. We are able to succesfully deploy LiveSite content to this server.

Thanks!
