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 />
