CLUSTER MANAGEMENT UTILITY (CMU)

 

HP CMU is an efficient and robust tool for the management of Linux-based nodes in HPC clusters and compute farms. For the first installation or for future updates, the cluster administrator has the capability to propagate a system configuration image to all or a part of the compute nodes in the cluster. A scalable and customizable monitoring tool At a glance, a system manager can see the complete behaviour of the cluster or part of it without to painfully analyze the performance of the individual compute nodes. Sensors can be easily defined. It's monitors enable rapid drill down and understanding of cluster performance and system health. It summarizes the states of all the nodes and a summary per group displays customizable information and alerts on all the nodes of the cluster.

CMU has a graphical user-interface that will allow you to administer the cluster. (eg: halt, boot/reboot, power off)   The graphic interface enables centralized console management, monitoring of cluster-wide and node-specific metrics, and software installation.  CMU enables rapid provisioning and management of multiple images, making it ideal for a site with frequent changes to the software configuration across the cluster or on a subset of the cluster.  In addition, CMU will integrate into Altair PBS professional for a complete scheduling, monitoring, and management tool.
