Abstract: A method and system for assigning logical addresses to connection ports of devices of a server cluster. The method includes defining a logical addressing policy in respect of said connection ports of devices of the cluster; based on a logical distribution of the devices of the cluster in the data transmission network, a geographic distribution, and a hardware definition of the devices of the cluster, initializing a server cluster administration database; according to the logical addressing policy, assigning logical addresses to the connection ports of devices of the server cluster; and saving the logical addresses assigned in the server cluster administration database. The system includes an automatic logical address allocator configured to perform these functions based on execution settings of a structured description file of the logical addressing policy and the content of a previously initialized administration database.

Abstract: This method relates to the generation of manipulation requests of an initialization and administration database of a server cluster comprising several nodes interconnected between each other by at least one data transmission network. It comprises steps of generating from a logical distribution of the nodes of the cluster, from a geographical distribution and from a hardware definition of the nodes of the cluster at least one set of profiles of the nodes and of the data transmission network; defining an addressing policy of the nodes of the cluster; allocating from the set of profiles and according to the addressing policy, at least one address to each node of the server cluster and generating a set of parameters of the cluster; and generating from the set of parameters of the cluster and of the addresses of its nodes, at least one file of manipulation requests of the database.
