Design And Realization Of The Management System Of Configuration Files On Cluster

Storage cluster based on commercial components develops to meet the need of storage scale and performance at computer application. Every storage device is seemed to be a code in storage cluster system. All the codes are connected by high speed network. It will be a highly concernful task to research configuration files and management on thousands upon thousands nodes.Although Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can collect the information of the running cluster nodes, manage cluster devices and give an effective control in sending abnormal report, there is no special role or protocol to well define the configuration of cluster. It is an inefficient to configure a single code because cluster has too many codes. To configure cluster is a trivial task in a web environment which is heterogeneous. In large-scale cluster system the configuration is a awful work. So a distributed cluster configuration files management project is designed to consummate cluster management.This project can get rid of the effects on many kinds of cluster systems. It centralizes the operation of many other codes in the server, as the control node. It can search conveniently and get the configuration files from any code in the server. It also can send document to all the code immediately if the file is amended. The system can send files in a parallel way to nodes from the server.System stores the management operation of the configuration files to the log file, including configuration files names, time, which is used to analyze the efficiency of system. A powerful log operation packet Log4j is chose to finish the function, which was provided by Apache. It can record the information fast and flexibly.The result of test indicated that this project can satisfy the basic necessary of cluster configuration management which depicted above. Make a comparison at configuration document management between clusters. It displays the cluster running the project uses a half time comparing to the other one. The design improves the efficient of storage cluster in some degree.
