SGI ICE X Administration/Leader Servers
This chapter describes the function and physical components of the administrative/rack leader
control servers (also referred to as nodes) in the following sections:
•
•
•
“1U Rack Leader Controller and Administration Server” on page 71
For purposes of this chapter “administration/controller server” is used as a catch-all phrase to
describe the stand-alone servers that act as management infrastructure controllers. The specialized
functions these servers perform within the SGI ICE X system primarily include:
•
Administration and management
•
Rack leader controller (RLC) functions
Other servers described in this chapter can be configured to provide additional services, such as:
•
Fabric management (usually used with larger systems)
•
Login
•
Batch
•
I/O gateway (storage)
•
MDS node (Lustre configurations)
•
OSS node (Lustre configurations)
Note that these functions are performed by the system’s “service nodes” which are additional
individual servers set up for single or multiple service tasks.
