Hi Ariz/Guys,

Our application are usually a few heavy processes which should also be
running at all times. These applications mainly focus on message parsing
and lots of computing (playing around integers and float vars with dependency on random generated numbers). It's not the sort of http/ftp service where there's a listening daemon. These few "heavy" process are user initiated within the box. Currently, I have 3 boxes with 2 heavy process each box. Now, what i experience
is that, box #1 is running at 80-90% (both CPU & MEM, with little I/O),
while the 2 other boxes are running at low numbers. With the clustering in mind, i'll be able to address the"SHARING" of resources as well as ensuring uptime.

FYI, these boxes are dual-procs with hefty amount of ram.

Thanks Guys.

    3. If I install a different kernel on RHEL, say "openmosix" , or

    the packages from

using an openmosix patch (w/c is specific for the vanilla kernel) will void
the RHEL support.  it would really make sense if you're  going to use it
on CEntOS instead on RHEL. But there's a trade-off, you'll likely to lose
some of the kernel features that you may also want to use regardless
if it's CEntOS or RHEL or WBEL. although, you can still apply kernel
patches for each of those missing features but you'll have a hard time
making them work all together since you might encounter instability
problems (been there, done that).

what kind of applications are you thinking to cluster? because you might
not be needing openmosix at all. let us know.
