Hi- Thanks a lot for the reply JP.
The information provided is of most value for me. I have a doubt here. I will install Nova-compute in a server say Essex-1 and another server say Essex-2. I have a tilera board too in the setup. Can you please guide me on how to start this tilera board using Nova-compute in Essex-1 machine. and How Nova-compute in Essex-2 can be made as Proxy-Nova-compute. I mean what changes to Nova-compute makes Proxy nova-compute.
