Hi,
after some long months of work I finally finished to setup a Linux cluster which consists of one central server, ten number-crunchers and one diskless x-terminal. All clients get their operting system from the server at boot up time. In case somebody plans something similar, he/she might find under:
<A HREF="http://gen100.imb-jena.de"><A HREF="http://gen100.imb-jena.de</A">http://gen100.imb-jena.de</A</A>>
some interesting hints, what was changed w.r.t. the standard SuSE 6.0 distribution in order to bring the cluster into real production mode. Also a lot of small and moderate problems, which I did not manage to fix or where I found work arounds can be found under that URL.
In the hope, that this information is useful for others,
Ruben
This is extremely helpfull to me. I'm currently setting up a financial application running a four processor database server (kernel2.2.4, MySQL) with 6 Application servers (dual processor, kernel 2.2.4) They are connected through fast ethernet. How did you do do interprocess communications? Pipes; Sockets; CORBA? Hajo (PS: I'm glad more interesting stuff than OS flamewar etiquette came along) -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
