Hi John:
We have the Cluster Register which keeps track of the
number of registered installations of OSCAR:
(I encourage you to register your
cluster)
If you look at the full details, some times they list model
#s of their hardware.
At any rate, the place I work for has some IBM HS20 blades
and also some Sun Opteron nodes (Sun Fire X4100), they both work fine with
OSCAR. The IBM HS20s are running OSCAR 3.0 and the Sun Fires are
running OSCAR development code (from SVN trunk).
The latest version of SystemImager has a new functionality
where you can build the boot kernel/initrd.img from the OS you are running,
therefore if the OS installs fine on your hardware, you are "guranteed" that
SystemImager will work with it. Although this functionality is still
somewhat experimental, I have had good experiences with it (in fact I used this
feature to install OSCAR on the Sun Fires, they use SAS HD and would otherwise
not work with stock SystemImager binaries...)
If you have problems with your hardware, I'm sure we'll be
able to help you figure out the problem :)
Cheers,
Bernard

Subject: [Oscar-users] Recommended hardwareWe're getting ready to deploy a new cluster and I'm back to looking at hardware options. Is there a list anywhere of what people have installed OSCAR clusters on? I'm looking to minimize deployment issues and am specifically interested in blade systems and opteron based systems (probably sun or ibm).
Any advice is appreciated. :)
