Microway's Cluster Management Software

MCMS™ - Microway's Cluster Management Software

MCMS is a monitoring and control application that integrates the tools needed to control the cluster, as well as track events. These tools provide the administrator with the capability of monitoring the cluster from any location via a secure, web-based interface. Once in monitoring mode, critical information is displayed including global cluster statistics, current load, memory utilization, and which nodes are on or off line. In addition to the global parameters you can see the same statistics on a local node basis. The package can be extended from the default parameters to allow execution of additional tasks that are of interest to the administrator.

The control portion of the package allows the administrator to control the cluster from the master node. Among those features available are:

  • Copying files to all nodes

  • Executing commands on all or a particular node

  • Testing of rsh connectivity and authorization

  • Testing TCP/IP networking connectivity

  • Rebooting the entire cluster or specific nodes

  • Shutdown of nodes or the cluster in entirety

MCMS also integrates with IPMI hardware to provide the following capabilities:

  • Hardware Power On, Power Off and Reset
  • Monitor Fan Speeds, Component Temperatures and Voltages
  • Remote Serial Console (KVM available on some models)

MCMS is included at no charge with all AMDŽ and IntelŽ clusters.

The combination of these tools allows for extended control of the cluster as a single unit. MCMS, in conjunction with Microway's NodeWatch, provides remote environmental monitoring and control that will give your sys admin peace-of-mind. Call (508) 732-5534 to schedule a Web demo.
