Category: None Group: Future Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Benoit des Ligneris (bligneri) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: The number of nodes should be dynamic Initial Comment: It should not be necessary to add the number of node the cluster beforehand. This is a _variable_ This step should be skipped and a command line/step called add/delete nodes should be created. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jason Brechin (brechin) Date: 2003-12-09 12:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274641 Clarification in FR summary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) Date: 2003-11-22 07:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11722 This is from conversations at SC, and it could have used a little better description here. :-) The point is that it would be nice to be able to have the functionality in the OSCAR wizard to say "any machine that you see a MAC address for [and/or I click on specifically] is an OSCAR client node. I don't know how many there will be yet, so just keep doing it until I say we're done." Specifically, just start capturing nodes until the user says we're done. Rich Libby gave a good example of a case where this is useful: he had 64 nodes to bring up and typed 64 in the define clients screen. But then a bunch of them failed to boot (hardware problems), so OSCAR was still stuck waiting for (64-num_good_booted) machines before it would continue. Clearly, this is not useful for *all* cases. But it's a nice convenience for some cases (perhaps even the optimized common case). As we discussed at SC, it would be nice to offer this kind of capture/assign model *in addition to* the current model (e.g., "basic" install vs. "advanced" install). Specifically: I don't think there's anything wrong with the current model. But I do see the value-added for the simplistic model described here for at least some users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jason Brechin (brechin) Date: 2003-11-19 09:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274641 Umm... we've had an add/delete nodes step for quite a while now... since 2.0. Maybe I'm missing something? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=359368&aid=844849&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
