Procedure for assigning logical addresses to connection ports of computers in a server cluster, computer program and corresponding server cluster

摘要

Procedure for assigning logical addresses to equipment connection ports of a server cluster (14), comprising the following steps: - defining (202) a logical addressing policy for said connection ports of cluster computers, - starting of a logical distribution (74) of the equipment in the server cluster, of a geographical distribution (76) and of a hardware definition (74, 76) of the cluster computers, initialization (114) of a database ( 72) of administration of the server cluster by: * translation (104) of the data relating to this logical distribution (74), this geographical distribution 10 (76) and this material definition (74, 76) in base handling requests data (72), * backup (110,112) of these requests, and * execution (114) of these requests to complete the database (72), - in addition to the policy of logical addressing, assignment (204) of logical addresses to said equipment connection ports of the server cluster, and - registration (206) of the logical addresses assigned in the server cluster administration database, including execution (204, 206) of an automatic dispatcher (84) of logical addresses based on execution parameters that include a structured description file (82) of the logical addressing policy, in which: - the initialization (114) of the administration database (72), including the execution of said requests, is performed without assigning logical addresses to said equipment connection ports of the server cluster, - the structured description file (82) includes a tree structure of logical networks and ranges of addresses logic in these logical networks, and - the execution parameters of the automatic mapper (84) of logical addresses also include the content, obtained through executing said requests, from the administration database (72) previously initialized so as to apply the tree structure of the structured description file (82) to assign the logical addresses to said computer connection ports of the server cluster , and - the automatic mapper (84) of logical addresses is executed after executing the initialization (114) of the database (72).
