METHOD OF DISTANT MONITORING AND CONTROL OF A CLUSTER USING A COMMUNICATION NETWORK OF INFINIBAND TYPE AND COMPUTER PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTING THIS METHOD

摘要

A method of remote monitoring and remote control of a cluster including nodes connected to a communication network of a first type, a relay node of the nodes including first and second network interfaces in accordance with first and second types of communication network respectively, the first and second types being distinct, some steps of the monitoring and control method being implemented in a remote computer linked to the relay node by a communication network of the second type, the method including receiving a packet via the first network interface; encapsulating the received data packet in a data frame in accordance with a protocol of the communication network of the second type; sending the data frame to the remote computer via the second network interface, the receiving of the data packet, the encapsulating of the data packet and the sending of the data frame being implemented in the relay node.
