>5.1. Easy Configuration</H1
><P
>The auto-discovery daemon (omdiscd) provides a way to automatically configure
an openMosix cluster hence
eliminating the need of a /etc/mosix.map or similar manual
configurations.
Auto-discovery uses multicast packages to
notify other nodes that it is an openMosix node.
This way adding an extra node to your mosix cluster means that you just
have to start the omdiscd on your machine and it will join the cluster.</P
><P
>&#13;However there are some small requirements, Like with any openMosix cluster
, you need to have networking configured correctly. mainly the routing.
Without a default route, you must specify an interface to omdiscd with the
-i option. Otherwise omdiscd will exit with an error like.

Congratulations , your openMosix cluster is now working.</P

>omdiscd has some other options that you can use.
You can either run omdiscd as a daemon (default) or in the foreground
where output goes to the screen (standard output)
omdiscd -n . An interface can be specified with the -i option.</P
><P
>&#13;Now lets still have a short look at the other tool , it's showmap. This tool will show you the newly auto generated
openMosix map.

information
can be found in the README and DESIGN files in the user-land tools source

verify wether an /etc/openmosix.map file or similar exists before
trying to use autoconfiguration. </P
