Lustre devel - Apr 2008 - Interested in cluster membership services

Hello

I am a developer working on a project involving a cluster and i
researched the development of cluster services (node discovery, group
membership, group mantainance, election, consensul) but i still have
many roads i can take with no experience feedback

If someone of you could give me some practical hints, have a little
chat would be great.

Thanks
Mihai

Lustre doesn''t use any of these mechanisms (group membership) so you
won''t get much help here.

I would suggest that you start by checking out the Open Cluster
Framework (http://opencf.org/) and Service Availability Forum
(http://www.saforum.org/) specifications for such cluster services.

The opencf mailinglist would be a good place for further questions or
discussion.
