High Performance Cluster Configuration System Management

High Performance Cluster Configuration System Management is a must-have book for system managers, cluster managers and application designers/developers who need to understand how to optimize the use of their available computer resources.

High Performance Cluster Configuration Systems Management covers the latest technical information available for VAX and Alpha clusters for the Open VMS environment and addresses cluster functionality through Open VSM 6.2 including SCSI clusters. All cluster interconnections and possible configuration scenarios are explored with an emphasis on efficient resource use and the ability to maximize processing power. Because efficient movement and storage of data is important in the design of high performance systems, this book also addresses effective storage management using the latest Storageworks solutions such as fibre and HSJ controller configurations. Part of designing a high performance cluster is keeping it operating at peak efficiency. This book details the different performance tools that are available and goes through multiple tuning scenarios offering guidance and commentary.
