Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention provide solutions to allow more efficient management of clustered environments. Merely by way of example, some embodiments provide a framework for the relatively automated management of clusters, including the addition, deletion and/or modification of cluster nodes. In certain embodiments, this framework may be incorporated within a software application that can assist in the configuration of clusters. Other embodiments provide methods of managing clusters and/or their nodes, including, inter alia, methods of establishing and/or implementing such frameworks. Still other embodiments provide systems, including clustered systems, that provide relatively automated cluster management capabilities.
