There are now many options for creating Linux clusters; clustering remains one
of the hottest applications for Linux today. Along with an overview of the
popular clustering software, we will focus on the Rocks package sponsored by the
National Science Foundation, from basic installation to running jobs. Robert
Rusinko will be show us the ins and outs of setting up clusters using Rocks, and
give us a peek at the Rocks 5.0 (Beta) using Xen.
If you've ever had to take a pile of computers and turn them into working systems,
you already know how much work there is from unpacking them to putting them into
production. Various tools have been created to automate portions of the
process, such as Kickstart, but still leave a lot of work to the person
installing the systems. Cobbler aims to make this process easier and less
error-prone by providing a PXE boot server and tools such as Koan, to allow you
a template-based system to provision new systems, whether physical or virtual.
Subhendu Ghosh will take us on a walkthrough of Cobbler so you can see how easy
it can be.
Please note that this meeting will be held at
IBM, located at the corner of 590 Madison Ave, and 57th Street, NY, NY. You
MUST RSVP for this meeting.
