AN!CDB - Cluster Dashboard

AN!Wiki :: AN!CDB - Cluster Dashboard

The AN!CDB, the Alteeve's Niche! Cluster Dashboard, is a management tool for clusters built following the 2-Node Red Hat KVM Cluster Tutorial.

It provides;

• A single view of all cluster components and their current status.
• Control of the cluster nodes. Nodes can be:
  • Powered On, Powered Off and Fenced
  • Join to and withdrawn from the cluster
• Control of the virtual machines. VMs can be:
  • Booted up, gracefully shut down and forced off
  • Migrated between nodes

The program was written with the user in mind. A user of AN!CDB needs minimal prior knowledge. Users who have never used a cluster before can be shown how to manage their cluster in about an hour, on average.

AN!CDB is designed to run on a machine outside of the cluster. The only customization needed is for the cluster name and the name of the nodes be added to the program. Once done, AN!CDB will collect and cache everything needed to control the cluster, even when both nodes are offline.

Installation

AN!CDB is designed to run on a stand-alone PC, outside of the cluster. Most users have a machine on which they run virt-manager, which is perfect for this application. This tutorial will assume that the machine is running CentOS or RHEL version 6.x, 64-bit. It is also assumed that it has been installed as a "Graphical Desktop".
