openQRM Plug-ins is a collection of community-supported plug-ins that enable openQRM to manage other enterprise and open source software.
openQRM is designed to deal with all sorts of failures automatically, thus preventing interrupts because of unexpected events.
Implementing openQRM greatly improves the reliability of the x86 data-center.
openQRM is an open source systems management platform which integrates with existing components in enterprise data centers to create scalable, highly available and customizable infrastructures.
openQRM is derived from a proven commercial product and distributed as an open source project through SourceForge, using a modified Mozilla Public License.
openQRMs architecture extends to and embraces other existing data center technologies through "plug-ins."The openQRM project team has created a number of plug-ins for broadly-used open source projects and proprietary solutions, and seeks to recruit community members to assist in additional plug-ins.
openQRM leverages the proven technologies of PXE and NFS along with storing images on central storage to effectively manage the data center.
The project team aims to set the standard in data center management by continuing to provide a "premiere" enterprise-grade project for automating IT infrastructure, and by embracing other technologies through increasing our offering of plug-ins.
OpenQRM.org is the best destination for our projects community to share ideas and innovations. Contributed by Qlusters, openQRM.org offers a range of support and information services to benefit all users of openQRM, including implementation advice, user forums and customer feedback.
Enhancements:
- The Solaris-x86 plugin was ported to openQRM 3.1.4 and the Solaris-x86 assignment function was fixed.
