8.2 <strong>IBM</strong> Cluster Systems Management<br />

<strong>BladeCenter</strong> <strong>JS20</strong> installations may involve clusters of many blade servers. Many<br />

of these installations use <strong>IBM</strong> Cluster Systems Management to both install and<br />

manage <strong>BladeCenter</strong> <strong>JS20</strong>s.<br />

CSM for Linux has been under development since early 2000 and was first<br />

released as a product in June 2001. <strong>The</strong> original requirement for this product was<br />

to provide common cluster management for Linux and AIX, leveraging <strong>IBM</strong>’s<br />

existing cluster software portfolio to work with Open Source packages and best<br />

practices from the Linux cluster market.<br />

CSM provides basic cluster management functions, such as hardware control<br />

and operating system and software installation. It also provides significant<br />

value-added functions such as configuration file management, a robust<br />

monitoring infrastructure, automated event management, diagnostic probes, and<br />

common management of AIX and Linux clusters.<br />
