everything was going. This morning, we hit the last few mis-installs. Our DOA
nodes were around 1% of the total order..
one advantage of having the vendor pre-rack is that they usually also
pre-test. did you consider having dell pre-assemble the cluster, and
reject it for cost reasons?
The physical networking was done in a new way for us.. We used a large
Foundry switch and the MRJ21 cabling system for it. Each racks gets 24 nodes,
a 24 port passive patch panel, and 4 MRJ21 cables that run back to the
if I understand, this means each node has a 1Gb link to a large switch,
right? I'm a little surprised this was cost-effective - what is the intended
workload of the cluster? (I mean given that Gb is usually considered
high-latency and low-bandwidth.) I'd be curious to hear about your
consideration of both 10G and IB.
