Experiences in the implementation of an SNMP-based high performance cluster management system

High performance clusters, like any network element, require management. Cluster management tools do not follow a standard operation method, making the interaction with other tools hard. To obtain interoperability, cluster management particularities should be adapted to the management architecture used in the network. This work presents the experiences obtained with SNMP-based cluster management. Moreover, a cluster management tool based on SNMP is proposed.
