I have the following configuration, perhaps not too atypical:
-----------------------------------------
|Linux cluster nodes in private network |
|192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.20 |
-----------------------------------------
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|master node, does IP masquerading for the cluster nodes, 2 NICs: |
| eth1 = 192.168.0.1 |
| eth0 = 133.18.7.20 |
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|webserver of our institute, 133.18.7.35 |
-----------------------------------------
It took me a while to find out a working configuration including
the master node and the cluster nodes and using the central web server.
My problem is that I do not know how to multicast between
the private and the 133.18.7.* network.
I played around with mrouted, but without success.
Then I came up with a solution where multicasting outside the private network
ist not necessary:
- install the web client on the web server, change "localhost" in
ganglia-rrd.pl and ganglia.php to the master node's name.
- start gmond on the cluster nodes
- start gmond on the master node with:
gmond -s 133.18.7.35 -i eth1
It is fine, it works (see
http://www.physik.uni-leipzig.de/Computer/ganglia/index.php), but some
problems remain:
- gmetric does not work on the master node since it has no -i option.
- How can I add clients from the 133.18.7.* network?
Many thanks for a fine piece of software!
Best wishes,
Meik
