Single Side Image Clusters (SSI) For Linux
===========================================
The SSI project leverages both Compaq's NonStop Clusters for Unixware
technology and other open source technology to provide a full, highly 
available SSI environment for Linux. Goals for SSI Clusters include
availability, scalability and manageability, built from standard servers.
Technology pieces will include: membership, single root and single init,
cluster filesystems and DLM, single process space and process migration,
load leveling, single and shared IPC space, device space and networking
space, and single management space. The SSI project will leverage the
Cluster Infrastructure (CI) for Linux project.

If you only have a single machine, you can play with an SSI cluster of
virtual User-Mode Linux (UML) machines. For more information, see:
	http://ssic-linux.sourceforge.net/ssiuml-howto/index.html

If you have multiple machines but no shared disk hardware, you can follow
the installation instructions in INSTALL. They describe how to set up an
SSI cluster using our Cluster File System (CFS) for the shared root.

If you have shared disk hardware, such as FCAL or shared SCSI, you can 
follow the INSTALL.gfs instructions to set up a cluster using the Global 
File System (GFS) for the shared root.
