Holiday Greeting to all!
My manager suggested I learn how to become a "linux cluster administrator".
The question at hand is how best to do it?
My organization currently has access to a cluster environment that is
supported by an outside consultant.
I have an account on the system which consist of an Ubuntu head node and 8
other servers under it. I manage shared storage that attach to the cluster but
have no admin access to it.
Essentially, I am a team of one and train myself. I am not a Linux wizard.
I support structured cabling, Windows desktops, Windows servers, Linux storage
servers running RHEL 5.5 -6.1. Continuing to improve my skills as needed to fit
the environment. Additionally I maintain a back end network, small machine room
and Cisco 2800 router.
The direction is to build a small test cluster.There is room in the machine
to add test equipment and access to ip address.
The operating system of the cluster will be Ubuntu 10.04 - and to install SGE
to manage jobs. The question is obtaining the hardware .. maybe from Ebay. I
looks like I would pay for it or maybe find another more cost effective way to
train. That is the issue. If it come down to it I am willing to invest in my
training.
Please share your thoughts..
Thanks,
Stephen
