Re: [Beowulf] BIOS & monitor power saving

I believe ANALOG is just your monitor telling you it's receiving analog input, as opposed to digital. Power saving mode is telling you the monitor is in PS mode and if you tell the BIOS to sleep the monitor is setup it comply with the request. Ed On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 6:59 AM, wrote: > Hi

Bios updates on large clusters, wonderful way to spend a weekend... It is possible to use PXE to do bios updates and setting nvram. Success depends in part on your platform/motherboard manufacturer. Some of the manufacturers have a DOS utility that will dump the bios settings to a .bin file and th

left afterwards - and I'm sepaking as someone who has tried capturing /dev/nvram settings and pushing them out to the updated nodes, which doesn't necessarily work. how does it fail? I'm guessing the issue is that there are LOTS more settings now than with the PC-AT (hypertransport frequency,
