Abstract

This paper proposes the application of traditional network administration concepts usually found in heterogeneous UNIX workstation environments to scalable high performance computing systems like the Intel Paragon™. As a case study, the ParaNIS project implementing the widely used Network Information System (NIS) for centralized configuration and user management on the Paragon™'s service partition is presented. It is shown how it is possible to transparently integrate this system into traditional UNIX environments — thus reducing configuration management overhead significantly.
