Thank you for commenting on this Greg. I might look deeper into perceus as an option if rhel (and particularly variants as in Scientific Linux) work well.
Yes, we already have Centos and Caos 2&3 base images that most people are using for testing.
Our infrastructure will most likely include nfs-root, possibly hybrid and full-install. So if Perceus can support it with a few simple VNFS capsules then that should simplify administration greatly.
These should be coming very soon. :)
Would you declare Perceus as production quality? Or would our production infrastructure be a large-scale test? (Which I'm not sure if I'm comfortable being a test case with our production clusters ;o)
It depends on when you are ready to migrate. Our first test system was a 512 node Inifiband cluster and it worked without incident. We also have several other large prospects on the horizon (including vendor partnerships) so production readiness won't be a problem. With that said, I would wait until I do the formal press release (waiting for the 1.0 tree to finish getting hammered out by our testers and initial users).
