Hello again.
I've been looking for information on setting up a Plan 9 grid, but
I've been having some trouble. First off, I should clarify--a grid is
the name for a collection of machines including a cpu server, auth
server, file server, and some terminals, right? I'd like to know the
general order you use when setting up such a grid.
It sounds like the first thing to do is set up a standalone
cpu/auth/file server. Good. Now, after setting up that server, does a
dedicated file server come next? Or an auth server? Has anyone else
kept notes while setting up one of these?
Thanks
Some combination of cpu/auth/file servers isn't really a grid -- its
just a standard Plan 9 clusters. As for how to proceed once you have
your standalone cpu/auth/file server -- that all depends on what you
want to do. Some folks have setup cpu servers that others could log
into (via drawterm or from their Plan 9 terminals). Other's have
setup mirrors of sources and other Plan 9 network file resources.
There were various notes on the Wiki, but not sure if they survived
the cleansing.
