Hi everyone, Well we''ve tested a single node Xen system for a while now. Had great uptimes and no serious issues at all. (And more importantly my users and managers love it.) Next I''m going to bring in another node and would like to set things up in such a way that expanding the cluster is as simple as plugging in a new bare node. Has anyone written any documentation on building and administering a Xen cluster? This would be a great chapter in the standard documentation! I see the wiki is down again, so I''m also wondering if we need a new one with better uptime -- hopefully it''s not running on Xen :o). If it comes up again I''ll add a Xen Cluster page to serve as a collection point for any information or comments Xen users might have regarding cluster building and admin. Anyways, hope everyone has had a nice holiday. 2005 is going to be a great year for Xen!!

There, Adam, I ruined the fun, and also added to the pressure: Am I not such a nice guy :-) We''ll let you all know how it goes. ron ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
