The quick automatic deployment and configuration of PXE based Linux parallel cluster
Zheng Xiao-wei · Journal of Liaoning Normal University · 2008
A Linux parallel cluster has good extensity,customizability,stability and security,and widely used in large-scale numerical computation.In order to complete the task of different needs,parallel clusters regularly change the system configuration and parallel software.Especially the very large body of parallel clusters,the system-installation of the parallel clusters has obviously become difficult and choosing a good automatic deployment method to save system installation time is important.This paper introduces a method which launch the GHOST software with DHCP service to carry out the deployment and configuration of Linux parallel cluster based on the networking technology of PXE,which is verified through a cluster with 8 nodes.
