1. High Availability (HA)
2. Motivation New Technology
The opportunity to create a cluster
Exploring with Linux Operating system
3. Overview
4. Clusters A computer cluster is a group computers connected together through special software and works together as one computer system.
Clusters are viewed as a single computer.
Connected through a Local Area Network (LAN)
5. High Availability Clusters Are implemented primarily for the purpose of improving availability of services.
They operate by having redundant nodes, which are used to provide service when a system components fail.
Should have 99.9% uptime
6. Requirements Fedora Core 4
Mpich-1.2.1 (Message Passing Interface)
Two Nodes “master & slave”
Network Switch
Ethernet cables
7. How Clusters work ? pppppppp
8. Tests rcp cpilog node01:/home/Neal
Mpirun –np 1 cpilog
Mpirun –np 2 pmandel ?
Xhost + ?
9. With One Node [root@Master /]# mpirun -np 1 cpilog
Process 0 running on Master
pi is approximately 3.1415926535897634
wall clock time = 0.482186
10. With Two Nodes [root@Master /]# mpirun -np 2 cpilog
connect to address 172.16.0.100 port 544:
Process 0 running on Master
Process 1 running on Slave
pi is approximately 3.1415926535899401,
wall clock time = 0.262906
11. Scope
12. Advantages of (HA) High Availability
Scalability
Manageability
13. Other Solutions The use of MOSIX
PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine )
Clustermatic 5
14. Future Works Configure a web server
Develop a cluster that support more features
Possible make a wireless cluster?
