This book describes the hardware, network, software, and configuration requirements for using IBM Cluster Systems Management (CSM) for Linux hardware control functions. This book focuses on the architecture of CSM hardware and how to use CSM remote power and remote console software in a Linux cluster.
This book is intended for system administrators who use IBM Cluster Systems Management (CSM) for Linux. The system administrator should have experience in UNIX(R) administration and networked systems.
The following highlighting conventions are used in this book:
