New to Portals
Hi,
I am absolutely new to portal technology. Going through the Portal Server 7.0 docs, I read that we can create a Portal Server Instance and must connect it to a Portal. I have the below questions:
1. I thought that each Portal itself is an Instance of the Portal server. Is this wrong?
2. If I create multiple Portal Server Instances for the same Portal, will all of them deliver the same content and have the same user repository?
Thanks in advance

Part 1 : Portal Instance :
If there is a portal with portal name : portal1, then it will have a default instance which resides over the webcontainer instance that you have configured during installation
For ex: if the portal name is portal1 on webcontainer Webserver7 instance port 80, then the default portal instance of portal1 will be by default on 80. The name of the portal instance will be "<machinename>-80" by default
Now you can create another instance of this portal portal1 on another webserver7 instance may be running on port 82(this can be done using the cli psadmin create-instance)
So now the portal1 has two instances, the default instance on port 80 and the instance that has been created on port 82
Both these instances will deliver the same content and have the same user repository
Part 2 : Creating a New Portal :
You can also create a new portal altogether which deliver different content and this again can have its own instances. However the Directory Server is the same for both the portals
