We are building a farm of test servers. Currently we have 8 servers. We are planning to use the servers to test the following

  • Mysql Cluster
  • Xen or KVM virtualization
  • Heartbeat/Pacemaker/DRDB

What tools do experienced sysads use for:

  • Initial installation of operating system( installing centos 5 or ubuntu server manually 8 times seems like a tedious task that just begs for automation)
  • Centralized Configuration Management and Software Updates for Host and possibly Guest(virtualized) servers
  • Hardware, Services and Network Monitoring
