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: Minor feature enhancements
Changes:
The installer will now create /etc/profile.d login scripts for warewulf enviornment. The following functions were added: warewulf.img check when starting 'nodes', disabling and enabling user access to nodes, and some logic to the configuration tools (with regard to single or multiple NIC's). Fixes were made for a bug in 'nodes' when adding a node, undef'ing the mac variable, a bug in nodeupdate regarding [OK] when not, and various GUI issues with 'nodes'.
