DSpace and Storage Resource Broker

My real-life DSpace server is live now, at http://collections.swco.ttu.edu . There is some back-end tweaking I need to do, but we have enough up now that we can make it available to the public.

My next task is to set up SRB (https://libnet.ucsd.edu/nara/) to provide me with the ability to work with heterogeneous storage devices. This way, I will, hopefully, be able to use a fully-fleshed MD3000 with my new server, and then later, will be able to add more storage drives onto the server. I'm pretty impressed with what I've read about SRB so far, so I really hope it will do what it advertises, particularly on the university system with its wide variety of restrictions.
