[Beowulf] Clustering VPS servers

[Jonathan Aquilina]

How does it defeat the purpose when you are using vms on the same host
though?

AFAIK it is not possible do do with virtual machines and it would kinda
defeat the object of virtualisation which is more for splitting up a
physical machine into many smaller machines.

 

The only system I really know anything about is ScaleMP. For this you
require an infiniband network between all the hosts and a specialised bios
and/or infiniband firmware to make it work.

Do you mean a single system image?

asked some users that use my the provider that I am with which is linode.com
what would be the best way to start clustering these vps's together?

To combine them for what: HA, HPC or storage?
