Hi all, I'm new to the list, so let me introduce myself: I work as a researcher in the Technical University of Valencia (Spain). I've been using Beowulf Clusters for several years, but I've got little experience in the installation and administration of them.
We are planning to integrate some legacy hardware (Pentium IV and Xeon two-processors) with brand new hardware (Itanium II Montecito SMP boards) in order to build an heterogeneous cluster. I'm interested in using a middleware like Warewulf, Perceus, Oscar, Rocks, ... to reduce installation and maintenance overhead, since we must focus in research tasks. I've been reading some webs and papers about how dealing with heterogeneity in Warewulf, Perceus and Oscar, but none of them seem to be the best solution: Oscar forces me to use a ia64 master node ( http://www.mail-archive.com/oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06075.html ), while Perceus is not properly documented AFAIK. Does anybody successfully configured a cluster like this? Any suggestion? Regards. -- Miquel Óscar Bernabeu i Llinares <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Department of Information Systems and Computation.
