Hello everybody!

I have a client that now he wants to do a two node cluster, and the nodes will have RHEL 5 AS, and I dont know how to do it.

I have read on the Red Hat webpage things about his solution, Red Hat Cluster, but I dont know if my client has the license or if he doesnt want to use it.

Then, I would like to know if someone could tell me which are my possibilities to do that cluster, if I will need extra software to do it or if I could do the cluster only with the RHEL 5 AS distro and touching or creating some configuration files.

Kind regards.

Depending on the clustering type.

You can use SGE , LAM/MPI, PVM or Torque to do processor/Mem "clustering"
You can use the FC6 or CentOS applications for RHEL5 but RH will not support them.

Apps: DLM, ElectricFence, CMAN, LUCI,RICCI, conga and GFS

Take a look at the Oscar Project http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar Basically you install RHEL and then drop in the oscar tools and it builds the cluster for you. Its what we use on the cluster I administer. Though when we get the new blade centers, I plan on taking a look at Rocks http://www.rocksclusters.org/wordpress/ as well.

Well, thanks for your answers!
Finally, my client told us he wants to make the cluster with Red Hat Cluster software.
I have downloaded the manual from
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/
but I dont know if I will need the GFS software or only with Red Hat Cluster suite I could do the cluster.
And, on the other hand, do you know about non-official docs that explains it well, or better?
Thanks

Hello.
With the packages "Cluster Storage" and "Clustering" could I do a cluster in red hat? These two packages are part of Red Hat Cluster solution?
Thanks

There are many types of cluster, it would help if we knew what you were trying to achieve? Redundancy? Multiprocessing? Load balancing?

Thanks for your answer
Well, the idea is to do two cluster, one for redundancy and the other for load balancing.
Then, do I need to install differents packets types depends on the cluster type? Or with "Cluster Storage" and "Clustering" I can do any cluster type?
Thanks again
Pd: the cluster will be made with hosts with RHEL 5.2

Dear
I want to know that is there license needed to use cluster in RHEL5.1. ? Which clustering software is most popular on RHEL.

Thanks

Well, If you try to use "Cluster Storage" and "Clustering", that both are included on the RHEL dvd, you will need license. And I dont know the most popular, until now I only know about the Red Hat solution.
Bye

Does Fedora 11 support clustering ?
If it is how reliable it will be .
Thanks

why don't you try centos, is red hat free version if we can say that, is enterprise and has the same packages like red hat and you dont need to pay anything, also you can try rock cluster because it has centos built in..
