As time goes on I’m attempting to transition the clusters I maintain to use a formulaic private networking scheme. Into the future, this would allow clusters’ private networks to be linked with little effort.

Documentation

Administrative Info

The majority of our clusters use the Warewulf clustering software suite. Documentation regarding how to setup (for the admin) and how to use (for the end-user) is available here.
As of June 2007 I’m transitioning from Warewulf to PERCEUS for cluster provisioning. PERCEUS is the evolution of Warewulf and is very different in terms of setup of a cluster. Documentation of my first encounter with PERCEUS setup is available.
Sun GridEngine is our queue system of choice on our clusters. Setup details and end-user documentation is available here.
