How to configure MOSIX clusters with a pool of servers and a set of (personal) workstations:
Single-pool = all the servers and workstations are used as a single cluster: install the same "mosix.map" in all the computers, with the IP addresses of all the computers. Advantage/disadvantage: your workstation is part of the pool.
Server-pool = servers are shared while workstations are not part of the cluster: install the same "mosix.map" in all the servers, with the IP addresses of only the servers. Advantage/disadvantage: remote processes will not move to your workstation. You need to login to one of the servers to use the cluster.
Adaptive-pool = servers are shared while workstations join or leave the cluster, e.g. from 5PM to 8AM: install the same "mosix.map" in all the computers, with the IP addresses of all the servers and workstations, then use a simple script, to decide whether MOSIX should be activated or deactivated. Advantage/disadvantage: remote processes can use your workstation when you are not using it.
