It would be better if you first figure out what kind of cluster you want to build. Then try out some of the available clustering technologies like beowulf (from scyld.com) or openmosix (openmosix.org). You will get enough information to build clusters using either beowulf or openmosix on the sites.
Once you are comfortable with the technology, then you can try customizing to a particular platform like redhat 8.0. Beowulf does provide support for free. But openmosix definitely can be installed on top of redhat 8.0.

PS: the problems you are getting because the RPC portmapper is not started and you are trying to use yp/nis services. Try starting portmap service before you execute any scripts.

Hi ppl,
I am building Linux Cluster in D.J.Sanghvi CoE, Mumbai. For that I am using a book , 'Building Linux Cluster' by David Spector and cdrom which accompanies that book. This book is by O'Reily.
For master node installation there is one script 'Install.sh ' in tht cdrom. I have Red Hat 8.0 installed fr clustering . when I run tht script I got following error messages:
