Chris,
Cool! Thanks! If you need any pointers on large-scale deployments, beyond the excellent thread that was discussed here last month, drop us a line. I'm managing Ganglia on a cluster of about the same size as yours, spanning multiple sites. I've developed a framework for automating the deployment of Ganglia in a federated mode (we use unicast). I'm currently negotiating the possibility of releasing this framework to the Ganglia community. It's not the prettiest piece of code, as it's written in bash and spans a few thousands lines of code (I didn't expect it to grow into something like that), but it provides some nice functionality like map-based logical clusters, automatic node migration between clusters, map-based gmetrics, and some other candies. If negotiations fail I'll consider rewriting it from scratch in perl on my own free time. btw, I think Martin was looking for a build on HP-UX 11...
