You may also want to look into the PBS port, although its sort of old and should be updated to a more recent OpenPBS version (I have 2.3.14, which is free from the nastier license terms). There is also a SLURM port that has appeared recently and someone was working on a SGE port too. These are more HPC clustering tools though and you seem to be looking in the HA space instead. "Clustering software" is rather a broad category. There is software in that category that runs on FreeBSD, but you'll need to be more specific to get better answers :). I don't believe FreeBSD currently has anything for transparent process migration like BProc or MOSIX (although IIRC MOSIX was originally written for BSD). -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
