the biggest problem is the directory structure, the shorter the
better, a main page ranks better than a page within deeper
structure. I guess there are solutions for getting rid of the
"/opencms/opencms", a short Google gave this:

Maybe others know a better how-to. (We have ours in a local Wiki,
and I don't want to translate from German without need.)

Better you get rid of the /siteA/ as well, then no more 301 is
needed.
