INTRODUCTION
Cluster Architecture

Cluster is group of linked, cooperati ng computers,

working together closely so that they form a single
system image.

Advantages :
Deployed to improve performance or high availability
for an applicati on.

Deployed to balance load among the multi ple nodes.

Limitations :
Master Node maintains synchrony for every
communicati on in the cluster.

Adding a server node dynamically into the cluster is

diffi cult.
Limitations :

Dynamically loading an applicati on into the node is

diffi cult.

Altering redundancy models and introducing new

redundancy models diffi cult.

Once a cluster is confi gured, its hard to accommodate

new services.

The current cluster infrastructure off ers a rigid

scalability on nodes in the cluster.

Advantages of Dynamic Cluster Model :
Nodes can join and exit the cluster at any ti me
bringing dynamicity in its operati on.

Node replacement for maintenance purposes can be

done easily.

Flexible redundancy model is provided in this model.

The operator of the Cluster is reduced by the

manageability eff orts for node maintenance and
service availability.

The cluster can be made to off er more scalability and

more services.
Applications :

Distributed Computi ng

File sharing and Content Distributi on

Instant Messaging

Enterprise Collabarati on
REQUIREMENT
ANALYSIS
Objective of the Model
Provide a Dynamic node joining procedure, for the
server nodes which want to join the cluster.

The Master node should be able to confi gure the

server nodes according to the applicati on they host.

Any changes in the group of related server nodes

should not aff ect group of other server nodes.

Proper backup model should be adopted by the

master server to handle server node leaving
dynamically from the cluster.
Functional Requirements
The requirements are specifi ed under three
categories:

Boot Strapping
Deals with the Cluster setup

Cluster Management
Deals with the managing cluster

Applicati on Interacti on
Deals with the service management
Boot Strapping
Setti ng up Master Node of the Cluster Infrastructure

Cluster Management
Discovery of the Master Node
Server Node Joining mechanism
Confi gurati on of the Server Node
Set the mode of the Applicati on Server
Transfer of Cluster informati on
Cluster Management
Server node leaving procedure
Status check of every server node
Inti mati on of Masters exit
Display of Cluster status informati on to the user

Application Interaction
Allocati on of Applicati on Server
Managing back up of user informati on
Non Functional Requirements
Response Time
Inter Operability
Usability
Scalability
Security

Software Requirements
Windows XP/2000/ Vista OS
JVM , Networking APIs
NetBeans Integrated Development Environment
Hardware Requirements
Processor - Intel Penti um-III or above
RAM - 512 MB or above
Ethernet Card

DESIGN
Design Specifications

The Design of the enti re system are explained using

a set of DFD’s for each requirements
Data fl ow diagrams shows how an input data item is
functi onally transformed by a system into an output
data item.

Processes are represented as circles.

External enti ti es are represented as boxes.

Data fl ow are represented by arrows between the

processes.
