Summary: Clone the installation of one machine to many other machines |
In administrating a large scale PC cluster, installation and updating both of kernel and utility software to whole the system are very troublesome, especially if the numbers of PC exceeds a hundred. In installation, people usually make dead copies of a hard disk image in which software systems are previously installed and then they are distributed among node PCs by CDs or hard disk themselves. Though some software do such a process through networks, they commonly have an performance bottleneck at server where the original image are hold. A cloning program `dolly' developed in ETH(Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) avoids such bottleneck by using a "ring" type connection rather than 'hub' type connection among one server and many clients. I have extended its concept with multi-threading and pipeline technique. It speeds up installation process very much. One-to-ten copying, for example, finishes in almost same minutes for one-to-one copy. In addition, time out sensing 'bypass' mechanism makes the copy process pretty robust in the case of a client machine trouble.
