Linux Cluster Manager Solaris Client Released!
Linux Cluster Manager Solaris Client 2.90 has been released. LCM is a graphical tool for monitoring and managing multiple Linux and now Solaris systems from a central location. Features include real time monitoring and status information, remote command execution, and a range of imaging features.
Feature Enhancements
- An updated Solaris client allows for monitoring of storage resources
- Also allows updated network information to be passed to the server such as IP address details and MAC address
- This release has been tested under Solaris 10 x86 but should work under Sparc systems as well
- A base Solaris 10 system with an installed TCL interpreter is all that is required
Linux Cluster Manager has many useful administration and monitoring features:
- Easy to use GUI for all operations
- Real time status information for all nodes
- Connect to individual nodes via a user specified protocol (ssh, rsh, rlogin, etc)
- Report on running processes across the cluster
- Image nodes over the LAN with either a file or block based image
- Can image non Linux based systems including Windows
- Imaged nodes have IP and host name information changed automatically
- Run scripts across the cluster or on select nodes without a client agent using a command line or GUI interface
