3.4.1 NSMasterDD4A for Bull “Dynamic Domains for Applications”
Management
The Dynamic Domains for Applications (DD4A) software is a tool that can be used on the
Linux operating system for simulating the partitioning of a multi-CPU machine at application
level. Dynamic Domains for Applications can be used with standard Linux distributions and
can be managed using the Webmin standard administration tool.
See the
Dynamic Domains for Applications User’s Guide (ref 86 A2 63ER) for more
information.
You can install DD4A from the
Bull Extension Pack for RedHat CD (ref 76741846-xxx).
Note:
DD4A runs only on Linux machines and uses a Webmin module for its management. You can
download the prerequisite Webmin package from the web site: http:/www.webmin.com
This Add-On creates monitoring links between NovaScale Master and the DD4A
management webmin module.
