openmosix

Hello,

I'm running Gentoo 2007 on 9 machines, 5 dual xeon 3.0Mhz
and 4 dual
PIII 1.4Mhz, with 6gb of ram. I installed an openmosix
kernel
(2.6.17), but I can't get openmosix tools working, they
don't compile
or don't work fine. I tried omuscd, but I get "No
candidate process"

Is there a way to distribute process around the boxes
transparently
using the network with gentoo?

What softwares are you using ?

Hello Catalin,

I got here:

http:
//openmosix.unfreeze.net/releases/kernels/

But I can`t get the tools working fine

If I'm not mistaken the 2.6 openmosix tools are still in
developer- 
only-alpha stage.  You may need to stick with the old 2.4
kernel and  
tools to get the job done.

If any openmosix developers are on the list, is there
anything we can  
do to help?   I'd love to have openmosix and tools up and
running  
with a 2.6 kernel.

Thanks,

George

I want open mosix too, but with no tools have been forced to
find other
alternatives.

I've deployed openmosix in several academic and industry
environments. 
It has worked very well in those cases, with efficient
dynamic load 
balancing and transparent process migration.
This is for the 2.4 kernel series, which is the stable
release as of 
yet. The tools work very well for that and the setups
require very 
little maintainance and have uptimes that are only limited
by 
hardware failures, machine relocations, and other such
hassles of 
divine nature. Although I have actually managed to hot swap
machines 
in running clusters, even servers on a few occasions.
I have not tried the 2.6 series yet, since I trust the
developers when 
they say it is not stable release yet.

If you can live with the 2.4 kernel series then openmosix is
excellent 
in a wide range of application environments.
Otherwise there are some other alternatives that I know of:
openmosix.org
kerrighed.org
openssi.eu
All have strengths and weaknesses. OpenMosix was the most
suitable for 
the use cases I've encountered
