Abstract
Most high-availability (HA) solutions currently used are based on the pre-configuration done by human administrators. If the configuration between machines participating in the HA cluster can be automated, services clustered can be provided more efficiently. For realizing this concept, the server agent and service description server (SDS) are designed and implemented in this paper. The server agent exchanges several messages with other servers and SDS. SDS is the central server that manages information needed for each machine to do “self-configuration”. We also implement a web-based monitoring tool to watch the status of the overall system.
Research based on the EDEN2 project (a collaboration between Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore and Konkuk University, Korea).
