Abstract
A method and system for automatically performing one or more operations on multiple computer systems within a cluster are disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a begin operations command construct is defined within an input file. In addition, an input command indicating one or more operations to be performed on at least two computer systems within the cluster and an end operations command construct are defined. In response to a selected input, one or more operations indicated by the input command are automatically performed on at least two computer systems. In accordance with one embodiment, the begin operations command construct indicates selected computer systems within the cluster on which the one or more operations are to be performed and whether the operations are to be performed on the selected computer systems serially or in parallel.
