The following system requirements must be satisfied before UTM cluster applications can be used:
A Network File System/Service (NFS) must be available on Unix and Linux systems. This does not require the installation of any additional software on the node computer.
There are no additional software requirements in the case of Windows systems. Shared files are accessed via the usual Windows network drives.
| Refer to the Release Notice for more information on the listed software requirements. |
A cluster’s nodes must all run on similar operating systemsand in the same Bit mode, i.e. mixed configurations, such as Windows and Unix computers in combination, are not possible.
The node computers of a cluster must all have the same "system platform class". The following "system platform classes" are supported:
Linux Systems
UNIX Systems
Windows systems
| For more detailed information, refer to the Release Notice. |
It is, in principle, possible to use different operating system versions at the individual nodes. In this case, please refer to the details regarding binary compatibility between versions. In most cases, upwards compatibility is possible.
For technical reasons, mixed system platform classes (e.g. Linux and Solaris) are not possible.
If the application works with databases, software that permits cross-machine access to the shared database must be installed on the system.
