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.
Release focus: Code cleanup
Changes:
The "Node Shell" button has been renamed to "Virtual Node" and "Remote Shell" added to avoid confusion in nodes. 'nodeupdate' no longer writes an /etc/hosts that did not work with SGE (which is very touchy about the format of the /etc/hosts). The Warewulf.pm library has been created and the Warewulf tools rewritten to utilize it. Warewulfd has been changed to use gethostbyname() for node name resolution, thus no requirement to restart warewulfd when changing node configuration. The "Update Nodes" button has been added to 'nodes'. Another tab has been added to 'wwmon', and the data moved to make it more logical.
