 Node Assassin :: Node Assassin - Original

Node Assassin is an open-source, open-hardware project to create a network-attached cluster fence device.

It's really just an idea at this point. At this time, nothing below should be considered valid, functional or likely even sane.

As always, proceed at your own risk. :)

Concept

The goal of this device is to provide a network-addressable device that can be signalled to press and home one or more node's reset switches. This device will then have a wrapper to plug into cluster management software like Red Hat's 'ricci' and 'luci' programs. This should then provide an inexpensive, scallable fence device.

Hardware

This device will be based on the Arduino Duemilanove using the Ethernet Shield for communication.

I'll need to run the outputs of from the arduino through relays to keep the different grounds isolated. The arduino's digital lines can read or write 5Vdc up to 40mA. Possible candidates:

  • Z123-ND - Std. Coil, 40mA, 5VDC
  • Z1232-ND - Std. Coil, 36mA, 5VDC
  • 2N3904 - Latching, Single Coil, 11.7mA, 3VDC

 

Input, advice, complaints and meanderings all welcome!
