Cluster
The following chapter introduces the Cluster as a subcomponent of veHaaS. In veHaaS, a hardware-dependent test setup with a hardware automation interface (HAI), an evaluation board, a debugger and possible other peripheral components are combined as an Assembly. A veHaaS Cluster hosts at least a virtual Assembly and up to multiple physical Assemblies as described prior.
A Cluster is described by a Cluster reference (CLUSTER-[1..999]) and an arbitrary Cluster name (usually Cluster-[1..999]).
Additionally each Cluster is described by its location, room and organizational assignment.
Each physical unit describes a cluster:
- A single PC or multiple PCs connected to a VT-System [HiL/MultiPC Buildup = Cluster]
- VMs hosted on the same server [Server = Cluster]
- Mobile desks with a single or multiple NUCs [each build up (one or more NUCs together) = Cluster]
Cluster range assignment
For better identification we defined specific ranges for each typ of Cluster in the following table.
| Type | Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Assemblies (VM + physical Assembly) | 1..499 |
| Others (e.g. Demonstrator Laptops etc.) | 500..599 |
| Virtual Assemblies (VM WITHOUT physical Assembly) | 600..699 |
| NUCs (mobile Desks) | 700..799 |
| VT-Systems (dedicated HiL Systems) | 800..899 |
