Dear Bernard,
Thanks a lot for your help, Now the compute nodes are able to
recognise the ips
driver for x86_64 EM64T RHEL4U2 servers. sorry for the late reply, i was doing
the implementation
and customization of main servers for the compute nodes. After i finish the
implemenation i will
update the status and send the doc to our mailling list.
once again thanks for your great help..
regards
karkeyan
