Cluster Management
Cluster management is to monitor and administrate all the computers in a computer cluster. It covers a wide range of functionality, such as resource monitoring, cluster membership management, reliable group communication, and full-featured administration interfaces.
One of the advantages of a cluster system is that it has hardware and software redundancy, because the cluster system consists of a number of independent nodes, and each node runs a copy of operating system and application software. Cluster Management can help achieve high availability by detecting node or daemon failures and reconfiguring the system appropriately, so that the workload can be taken over by the remaining nodes in the cluster.
