Is anyone using AutoYast2 to build cluster systems?
Hi Folks: A customer has asked us to look into building their Opteron cluster using SuSE. Before I port my old AutoInst tools, I wanted to see if AutoYast2 is used and ok for this task. Basically I want to be able to PXE boot Opteron nodes into SuSE 9.x installation. There are additional things I would like to do with IP address assignment and databases, but I'll be happy with a working PXE at first. Any thoughts? I looked over the AutoYast2 documents, and would like to hear from folks who have used it. Also, I had heard of some sort of HPC version of the distribution (stripped down of things not relevant to clusters). Anyone know about this? Is it real? If so, who can I speak to about it? Thanks.

Since this is architecture independend I would ask on the more generic suse-linux email list instead of this one.

We have made a special deal with Cray so that Red Storm will run with an adopted version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server - but there's no HPC version per se but their might be special prices for large HPC clusters using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server...

See http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/ Or ask on suse-autoinstall@suse.com or better read the archives of that list first. Most likely all your questions have been already answered there. -Andi
