Genders is a static cluster configuration database used for cluster
|
||
|
|
configuration management. It is used by a variety of tools and
|
||
|
|
scripts for management of large clusters. The genders database is
|
||
|
|
typically replicated on every node of the cluster. It describes the
|
||
|
|
layout and configuration of the cluster so that tools and scripts can
|
||
|
|
sense the variations of cluster nodes. By abstracting this information
|
||
|
|
into a plain text file, it becomes possible to change the
|
||
|
|
configuration of a cluster by modifying only one file.
