About:
Warewulf is a Linux cluster implementation tool that builds RAMDISK based filesystems and distributes them to the slave nodes. This facilitates a Central administration model for all nodes and includes tools needed to build configuration files, monitor, and control the nodes. It is totally customizable and can be adapted to just about any type of cluster. The node distributions are built from a virtual node filesystem residing on the master and transfered to the nodes either by Etherboot or CD-ROM images. Administration becomes scalable by having only one point of admin for all nodes. Node filesystems are very easy to customize, which makes Warewulf fit many different solutions. There are also a number of add-on software components (MPI, PVM, and Sun Grid Engine) for Warewulf.
