Hello, just arrived has a new switch with 2 Gigabit Uplink (yeah!). We discussed about bonding and bottle necks in bandwidth or CPU.
As I have a 2nd (identical) LTSP machine, why not do something like "server bonding" - or even load balancing. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/HowTo/NetworkClients describes how to do this by moving thin clients to 10.0.2.0/23. Iff the switch has v-lan, we could just split the room (14 clients) to make 7 client each use one LTSP server. Otherwise it should be easy to make those clients see both LTSP, provided that - the servers get different IPs (192.168.0.254 + 253) - the less busy server is faster with DHCP What do you think? I also found these hints by Martin Herweg: > During the last LTSP developer conference we had two very interesting > presentations of useful software for LTSP. > Ivan Krestic from Kroatia explained how he has used openSSI to build a > cluster of LTSP servers at the Childrens Hospital in Zagreb. His > experience using openSSI to create a scalable LTSP system is very good. You can see his slides at http://hcs.harvard.edu/~krstic/11-2005-clustering-ltsp.pdf > Gideon Romm gave a demonstration of his Symbiont Workstation Manager > which is a Webmin-based frontend for managing LTSP.
