To save cost, recently more and more users choose to provision virtual machine resources in cluster systems, especially in data centres. Maintaining a consistent member view is the foundation of reliable cluster managements, and it also raises several challenge issues for large scale cluster systems deployed with virtual machines (which we call virtualized clusters). In this paper, we introduce our experiences in design and implementation of scalable member view management on large-scale virtual clusters. Our research contributions are three-fold: 1) we propose a scalable and reliable management infrastructure that combines a peer-to-peer structure and a hierarchy structure to maintain a consistent member view in virtual clusters; 2) we present a light-weighted group membership algorithm that can reach the consistent member view within a single round of message exchange; and 3) we design and implement a scalable membership service that can provision virtual machines and maintain a consistent member view in virtual clusters. Our work is verified on Dawning 5000A, which ranked No.10 of Top 500 super computers in November, 2008.
