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
