hi everyone,
I just wanna simulate HPC and and other kinds of clusters in VMware workstation 7.0 , in my HP 520 laptop which is dualcore and 3Gb RAM. So can u please help me out regarding this.. I am interested to work in clusters. So please help me out. I am new to this hpc and other clusters..please can any one gve me document on cluster installation and configuration. I would be grateful to them..
The internet has a lot of documentation regarding clusters. It all comes down to what you want to try. I do a lot of testing with clusters and always do this in a virtual environment, Proxmox, VirtualBox, VMWare, ... Here are some links I use. If you want more specific answers then please be more specific in your questions.
Hi Eric, It was good. All I wanna tell is I am new to cluster technology. I wanna install clusters in Vmware workstation 7.0 . Is it Possible to do that way?? If yes can u please send me the links regarding that. I have already installed VMware in my laptop. its a 32 bit and running xp host. so I have installed centos in Vmware. now i wanna do clustering... so can U please help me regarding this...
Just read the links I posted before. There really isn't that much difference between a 'real' machine and a virtual one when it comes to installation and configuration of software. Why would you think that you have to treat a virtual machine different? Just create a second virtual machine, install your OS in it and start creating your cluster. What do you want to cluster? Block devices, file systems, configure High Availability with virtual IP, Load Balancing, .... You name it, there are very little limits to what you can do when you put your mind to it. One thing you will not find here at LQ, however, is step by step guides or howtos. Those are available on the Internet in abundant numbers. Have a look at http://www.howtoforge.com/ for example. When you follow a guide/howto and cannot get it to work or get errors you cannot solve, that's when you turn to LinuxQuestions.
