Note:
I'm gathering these info for my personal interest.Mainly, I'm interested in creating el cheapo cluster out of junk machines.If a node fails, no big deal. Just take out working parts, and bring it to a recycle shop, and get another junk machine to replace.Instead of usual physical machine acting for a single purpose, I'm thinking about using virtualization technologies like Xen or VMware to put several functions on a single physical server.By using VMs, distributing system becomes much much easier (think about VMware images), and also quick and flexible.You can even host Win environment on a virtualized Linux (or other unix) machines, if you really want that.Also, utilization of resources on the each physical machines can be maximized.And finally, you can construct such cluster out of two physical machines, IMO.Ideally, I think we should use at least three machines for keeping the redundancy during scheduled maintenance or failure of one machine.From there on, you can add as may (junk) machines as you want, to increase the redundancy/performances.Other than that, I guess you can create junk cluster at two or more separate location for global failfailover.I think you can even utilize the unused resources of home/office machines like Seti project, if you want to push it further.Well, imagine bunch of Open source, publicly maintained clustered offerring services like DNS, web server, mail, ftp, p2p and so on.You can use mixture of the junk and current hardware.I think we have almost all technology needed for making something like this.Only thing missing is the packaging and extensive testing/support.If someone comes up CD-ROM similar to KNOPPIX, everyone can construct el cheapo redundant cluster and enjoy reliability without excessive cost.http://clusterknoppix.sw.be/We need HA features and virtualization, and deployment monitoring solution for VMs on top of this.Also, unlike KNOPPIX type live CD, we want to use the local disks as a part of file system (for caching only or as a fully active part of it).The system doesn't have to be in Ramdisk, either. But maybe it's not a bad idea, since it may survive the hard disk failure --- one of the most common problem --- and it would allow diskless node.Well, however, ElCheapoFailoverSystem might be enough if you are thinking about personal site, hobby site, non-critical sites.Actually, many of commercial sites doesn't even have that level of redundancy....
