Hi!

I'm a last year student of computer sience on the girona university
(spain). I have to do my final project for the degree and I have to
design and implement a high performance cluster and later do a paralel
algorithm about radiosity.

Now I have two computers from another department for make tests. And I
will have access to a windows cluster of 4 hp proliant dl145  (dual
opterons :D ).

The cluster will use oscar. I will put on each computer an extra hard
drive, the existing for windows, and another for linux. The machines
are on a rack, with this only the headnode have monitor, mouse and
keyboard.

I'm looking for the modifications that I have to do for install oscar
on /dev/hdc. Anyone knows what are the files that I have to modify and
what I have to change for this ?

Now I'm planning how to change the operative system of the cluster.
Because I can use grub (the boot loader) on the headnode, but I don't
want to plug keyboard ant monitor on every machine for choose the
operative system. For that problem, I've thinked about modify the
grub.conf file when you want to change your operative system (with a
script, logicaly).

This script will put on all the nodes the default boot operative
system linux or windows. For example, if I'm on linux and I want to
work with windows cluster, I will put all the boot loaders on windows
default. I have to test this. And the little problem is in windows
(make the change), I've seent that I can install openSSH and a driver
for ext3 filesystems on windows (I will test this during next week,
probably).

What do you think about my idea? Any better way for this ? ;)

I don't know if you will understant this, I don't have a perfect english, sorry.

Thanks,
Adrià
