Guys and girls, I am not putting Jorg in the spotlight here, I hope he understands this. As a general point - I have seen on several mailing lists folks asking for specific help with a system. That is of course what community mailing lists are for, and we all can learn from the answers. However, please, please contact the company who installed the cluster. They will be happy to provide support for it. I can state categorically that when working for two leading cluster companies we always went above and beyond what was strictly required for support, and would delve into issues like this at a very low level. That is why you buy a prebuilt and tested cluster with support rather than a pile of cardboard boxes. Cluster vendors also keep records of the configuration of systems - so if you are landed with an 'orphaned' system, or one you are not familiar with again just phone the vendor. As a personal point, there is nothing worse than being told three years down the line that a certain system never worked properly if that comes out of the blue and the end users never reported it or asked for help. While I'm on a rant, the staff working for cluster vendors are very knowlegeable - there is a definite revolving door between academia, industry and HPC integrators. You might find the guy who visits you to debug some TCP/IP problem today is sitting beside you next week. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
