Re: [gentoo-cluster] High-Availability Howto for Gentoo

Mr. Rand(), I tend to prone the Diskless approach for the reasons you are mentionning. You can easily switch between roots with a network boot just by modifying your dhcp config and rebooting a node. This is really neat since you can have the dev environment on the actual cluster, test

Re: [gentoo-cluster] High-Availability Howto for Gentoo

Hi Very interesting links, read through them quickly. Most seem to offer replication-alike setups with various twists. I'm unsure if there is an official definition of a clustered database, but I meant one in the sense that it's used for Oracle cluster & Mysql cluster. IOW fragments of your

Re: [gentoo-cluster] High-Availability Howto for Gentoo

Clarifying the differences would hep a bunch. I have talked with several 'cluster' admins that had no clue about high performance clustering. If you call Cisco and tell them you are running a cluster they will try to sell you a switch with high inbound/outbound traffic but piss poor inter

Sys Admin is an excelent way to describe the core aspects of configuring Gentoo for both HP and HA. Additionally explaining the best wasy to provide failover for HPC is also useful. Gentoo Cluster Handbook  I. Sys Admin Requirements - What reader must know before moving forward  (maybe describe

Hi List, We're running a 40 node webserver HA-cluster, with two loadbalancers and a 30 node mysql replication setup as datastore behind that which we are going to move behind a loadbalancer set soon. We're currently building the load-balancers for that.All the loadbalancers are using a direct routi

Would be nice to have a livecd that you could pop into a set of systems and have them auto-discover and form a cluster... :) You could use stuff like slp to find each other. -Jared On 4/7/06, Hanni Ali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey, > > Not currently, but it's something I'm working on. Anyth
