Peixes, cães e vindimas !!

:)

The unique common thing bettwen this 3 words is the simple fact they belong to 3 different portuguese popular sayings.

Nem tudo o que vem á rede é peixe.

Os cães ladram e a caravana passa.

A vindima só acaba quando se lavam os cestos.

I have added one more category to my blog, Sayings and here I will post some interessant ones.

For now I will maintain the idea not to translate this sentenses else they will lose all they fantastic meant.

/me Starting to play with Real Clusters :)

Yep, that's it and I am very happy with what I am learning.

So let's check some output first :)

Number os nodes in the cluster:

%dvt -q
Cluster file: /usr/local/etc/cluster
Fanout size: 64
Node: 1 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV1 Host: atena
Node: 2 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV1 Host: ns.atena
Node: 3 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV1 Host: proxy.atena
Node: 4 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV1 Host: web1.atena
Node: 5 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV1 Host: web2.atena
Node: 6 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV1 Host: db.atena
Node: 7 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV1 Host: paco.atena
Node: 8 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV1 Host: druida.atena
Node: 9 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV2 Host: minotauro
Node: 10 Fangroup: 1 Rungroup: SRV2 Host: master.minotauro

Lets check uptime in all nodes:

%dsh 'uptime'
atena : 11:13AM up 12 days, 4:53, 2 users, load averages: 0.06, 0.03, 0.01
ns.atena : 10:13AM up 12 days, 4:53, 0 users, load averages: 0.06, 0.03, 0.01
proxy.atena : 10:13AM up 12 days, 4:53, 0 users, load averages: 0.06, 0.03, 0.01
web1.atena : 10:13AM up 12 days, 4:53, 0 users, load averages: 0.06, 0.03, 0.01
db.atena : 10:13AM up 12 days, 4:53, 0 users, load averages: 0.06, 0.03, 0.01
minotauro : 11:13AM up 12 days, 7:04, 0 users, load averages: 0.03, 0.01, 0.00
master.minotauro: 10:13AM up 12 days, 7:04, 0 users, load averages: 0.03, 0.01, 0.00

:) The first step is done, now I am gona learn howto distribute processes and control them over the nodes, and other things too

I like massive SysAdmin.

Hey, did I already mentioned all nodes running FreeBSD, some of them are Jails.

%dsh 'uname'
atena : FreeBSD
ns.atena : FreeBSD
proxy.atena : FreeBSD
web1.atena : FreeBSD
db.atena : FreeBSD
minotauro : FreeBSD
master.minotauro: FreeBSD

For now it's all. Right now I am writting other article and who knows if this is my next topic :).

"FreeBSD Cluster::Managing Nodes"

Argumentum ad ignorantiam

Argument from ignorance!

The argument from ignorance, also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam or argument by lack of imagination, is a logical fallacy in which it is claimed that a premise is true only because it has not been proven false, or that a premise is false only because it has not been proven true.

FreeBSD + FIFA World Cup 2006

Once again, "FreeBSD, The Power to Serve!"

The Brazilian FreeBSD User Group aka FUG-BR linked us to a very nice article about what FIFA runs in their Infrastructure for this great event that is World Cup 2006.

FreeBSD + FIFA World Cup 2006

Prepared to answer to 2 Billion requests.
150 security test scenarios
With only 2 Streaming Servers :)
and much more to see :)

Take atention to: Yahoo! ; Phillips ; Toshiba ; McDonalds ; Avaya ; Deutsche Telekom ; and Mastercard , they all use FreeBSD.

… every time are relaxed in your sofa with your laptop watching in live world cup goals and eating a Mcchicken … you are using and consuming FreeBSD!!

I am happy :)
