Building and Maintaining Linux Clusters
Linux Clustering: Building and Maintaining Linux Clusters provides Linux users with information about building their own Linux cluster from the ground up. It gives best practices, helpful hints, and guidelines about building one server or hundreds of servers at a level that administrators at any experience level can understand.
From installation of the air conditioning and power in the data center, to alternative file systems to the final production run, this book provides you with everything that you need to know. Linux Clustering: Building and Maintaining Linux Clusters walks you through the initial design and selection of the best possible types of clusters, as well as covering monitoring tools and providing for disaster recovery. Not only does this book provide information on parallel and Beowulf type clusters, Charles Bookman goes into depth on high availability clusters, load balancing, and provides advice for writing your own distributed applications as well. Incorporating best practices and cutting-edge approaches, Bookman provides step-by-step and tried-and-true methods of bringing up a Linux cluster to production level.
Linux Clustering teaches you:
- Which type of cluster is best for your environment
- Unattended installation of a single server to hundreds of servers at once
- Which type of alternative file systems are best suited for Linux in a production environment
- Best backup practices
- Keeping your system up with maximum availability
- Best approaches to distributed computing
- Building your datacenter environment to house a large cluster
- Best approaches to building a high-performance cluster quickly and easily
- What to do when good clusters go bad and you have to troubleshoot them
