Network and Server Management Tools
- by jessieE
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
