Hi all,

 

I'm wondering if anybody has any experience running flow-tools on a Linux cluster.  I have a dedicated Sun box running flow-capture, collecting from around 60 Cisco's campus wide, totaling over 16 GB of level-6 compressed data per day.  The flows are written to the collector's local storage, and I have enough space to hold around 12 day's worth of data.

 

My plan is to have a separate Linux cluster, nfs mounted to the collector's storage, which runs daily and hourly flow-reports, flow-dscans, and other analyses.  It's not uncommon for a router to collect over 2GB per day, so the flow-report processes get pretty IO and memory heavy.

 

So far I've tried this setup with a Mosix cluster, but the results aren't that great (I'm going to try OpenMosix to see if it's any better).  Mosix is a single system cluster that uses process migration to achieve load balancing.

 

Has anybody ever tried this with Mosix, or any other ideas for a clustering solution?

 

Thanks,

Ari
