Many organizations have assembled Intel (and other) processor-based servers Linux is increasingly popular and increasingly capable. Linux clusters represent a way to horizontally scale beyond the capabilities of any given Linux SMP implementation. The price/performance of the Intel platforms and the enhanced functions of the RISC platforms both provide attractive building blocks for Linux clusters. |

As CSM was being developed, the Extreme Cluster Administration Toolkit (xCAT), a script-based package, was developed by IBM's advanced technical sales support team and provided to clients purchasing Linux clusters based on IBM eServer xSeries, IBM eServer BladeCenter HS20 and IBM eServer 326 (e326) servers and used by IBM Global Services, to address their need for tools to deploy and manage Linux clusters. This white paper provides an overview of the key benefits of CSM. |

This document describes a solution to the problem of handling user and group IDs in GPFS in a multi-cluster environment. We use the term "multi-cluster environment" to describe a setup where several independent GPFS clusters exist, possibly managed by separate organizations, and an ability to mount a GPFS file system across clusters is desired. |

IBM Cluster Systems Management (CSM) for AIX 5L and Linux is a powerful solution which enables IT administrators to easily manage large clusters of pSeries, xSeries, and BladeCenter servers from a single point-of-control. This white paper reviews CSM's capabilities to help administrators remotely install and update software, power on, off and reboot machines in the cluster, and much more. |

Clustered computing now includes 'tight clusters' for high availability and single application scalability, 'loose clusters' for appliances and Web infrastructure, and 'grid clusters' for e-utilities and terascale applications. |
