ABSTRACT:
A system and method for managing clustered computer resources, and more particularly very large scale clusters of computer resources by a semi-hierarchical n level, n+1 tier approach. The top level consists of the controller nodes. A first tier is defined at the top level. At a last level, at which the cluster of controlled nodes is found, a last tier is defined. Additional levels of controller or controlled nodes may exist between the top and bottom levels. At least one intermediate tier is introduced between two of the levels and comprises at least one proxy or a plurality of proxies. A proxy is a process or set of processes representing processes of the clustered computer resources. Proxies can run either on controller nodes or on the controlled nodes or controlled node clusters to facilitate administration of the controlled nodes.
