  • Management of Kernel configurations for nodes in a clustered system
    Publication number: 20080263183
    Abstract: Various approaches for managing kernel configuration files in a cluster computing arrangement are disclosed. In one approach, a first set of kernel configuration files are installed networked storage, and a first node is booted using the first set of kernel configuration files. A copy of the first set of kernel configuration files is stored in networked storage as a default kernel configuration in response to an administrator initiated first operation. In response to an administrator-initiated second operation a copy of the default kernel configuration is stored as a second set of kernel configuration files for a second node of the cluster. The second node is booted with the second set of kernel configuration files.
