So, I want to start looking into setting up a XEN cluster on Linux, which will provide high-uptime for Linux & Widows guest operating systems.

This will be my first attempt to this, so I’m treading in deep waters, but it should be fun setting up. It’s rather late right now, so I’m not getting into anything at the moment, and I need a spare machine or 2 to setup the cluster.

So, to get started, I’ll be working through these URL’s:

http://te.to/~ts1/xen_cluster.html
http://www.howtoforge.com/ganeti_xen_cluster_management_debian_etch
http://librenix.com/?inode=12733
http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid39_gci1294585,00.html

Since I’m going to run CentOS, I assume my setup will differ quite a lot from these links, but it’s a start.

The following article on super computers was quite good: http://www.webstreet.com/super_computer.htm
