Administration

The Overview describes the ICE ClusterWare™ system architecture and design and basic terminology necessary to properly configure and administer a ClusterWare cluster.

This ClusterWare Administration Guide is intended for use by ClusterWare administrators and advanced users. As is typical for any Linux-based system, the administrator must have root privileges (if only via sudo) to perform many of the administrative tasks described in this document.

Note

This guide is written with the assumption that the administrator has a background in a Unix or Linux operating environment; therefore, the document does not cover basic Linux system administration. If you do not have sufficient knowledge for using or administering a Linux system, we recommend that you first study other resources, either in print or online.
