It depends on the cluster manager that EVMS interacts with. Currently EVMS interacts with Linux-HA cluster manager. Linux-HA cluster manager does not allow dynamic addition of nodes to the cluster. All the nodes that can possibly be part of the cluster are predefined in a configuration file. So the maximum number of nodes that can be in a cluster is well known. EVMS as it currently stands assumes a static cluster. So to answer your question, EVMS does not know when nodes are being added to a cluster. However EVMS comes to know when a eligible nodes join or leave the cluster, through the Linux-HA's membership services. Now the question is: does OpenGFS assume a static cluster or a dynamic cluster? -- Ram Pai linuxram@us.ibm.com 503-5783752 EVMS: http://www.sf.net/projects/evms ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opengfs-devel mailing list Opengfs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opengfs-devel
