Hello everyone, Over the last few years, I was very happy with how OSCAR perform on my cluster that grew from 8 nodes all the way to five clusters of 128 nodes each. The CPU I used vary from the slower 2.0GHz Xeons up to the fastest 3.06GHz. Currently we cannot get anymore of this type of Xeon CPUs and I have to bring in the 800Mhz EM64T Xeons.
My intention was to put Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 in the head and subsequently, to the computing nodes. I just finished putting together a rack of 17 identical boxes. All with 3.6GHz Xeon EM64T CPU and 8GB of RAM in each node. Before I dive in and find it out the hard way of potential problem, I would like to seek the advice of anyone with the experience installing and setup RH EL3. Specifically, do I install/setup RH EL3 completely on the head node, with all the patches and updates from Redhat before installing OSCAR? Or is it OK if I just do a plain installation of RH EL3 and then OSCAR on top of that? Is there any potential issue that I need to be aware of before setting up RH EL3? Thank you in advance for your responses, Dzung Do Development Engineer Seagate Technology (952) 402-8148 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
