In addition, we would like know your ideas about the following questions:
1) Whether 64-bit processor like Interl Xeon works fine with
PVFS2/future version or not.
PVFS2 has full 64bit processor support. We are currently running
AMD64/PPC64 in a mixed environment without any problems at my location.
2) Will Dell power-edge server cluster works fine?
3) Which OS, Linux 2.6 or other fit PVFS2/future version well.
Right now, I believe all kernels < 2.6.18 are in working order. Someone
please correct me if I'm wrong in saying that.
4) Which vendor/cluster solution do you recommend?
Any inputs are appreciated,
Peng

Dear all,
We are considering purchasing a 16-32 nodes cluster to serve as a
testbed for PVFS2 with GigaE or Infiniband interconnection. Do you
have any suggestions on
the configuration of the computer nodes and inter-connection hardware?
We are using both GigE and IB interconnects, though primarily IB for our
research. We've had much success with the IB hardware, being able to
achieve 1+GByte/sec bandwidths after fine tuning for our apps. I'd
personally recommend the IB hardware, but really its dependent on your
apps, whether or not you'll be able to use this type of bandwidth, while
also considering the cost..
Hope this helps.

Thanks in advance!
