Guides for new HPC admins
In my company, it's fallen on me to serve as the admin of our new HPC cluster, a task that's very new to me. It's very important to me to lay a solid foundation and avoid any unnecessary pitfalls. So, can anyone recommend a succinct guide or list of do's-and-don'ts for adiminstering an HPC cluster? The cluster runs the latest CentOS, PGI compilers, MPICH2, WRF, etc.
Thanks!

clu_is_ready
clu_is_member(3) Library Functions Manual clu_is_member(3)
NAME
clu_is_member, clu_is_ready - Determine whether the local system is currently a cluster member or has been configured to be a cluster mem-
ber
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/clu.h>
boolean_t clu_is_member ();
boolean_t clu_is_ready ();
DESCRIPTION
The clu_is_member function determines whether the local system is currently a cluster member (that is, the TruCluster Server software has
been installed and configured, the system has booted a clusterized kernel, and the connection manager has allowed the system to join the
cluster membership).
The clu_is_ready function determines whether the local system has been configured to run in a cluster (that is, the TruCluster Server soft-
ware has been installed and configured, and the system has booted a clusterized kernel). The clu_is_ready function is most useful to code
that runs in the boot path before the connection manager establishes the cluster membership.
RETURN VALUES
Upon completion, the clu_is_member function returns TRUE if the local system is currently a cluster member, FALSE otherwise.
Upon completion, the clu_is_ready function returns TRUE if the local system has booted from a clusterized kernel, FALSE otherwise.
