Mike,

Thanks for the reply and the clarification. That really helps me. We may have some kind of video about blade deployment, but they are probably not for HPC (which makes things a bit different). I'll check into this. If you can send me an email with your observations/comments/etc about your experience, that would help me. You can email me at jeffrey_layton_at_delll.com.

BTW - I'm trying to revive the HPCC site within delltechcenter. I write a blog on the HPCC page delltechcenter.com and I'm working on adding more relevant content. I would encourage you to read the site and let me know what you think. If you would like to start threads describing your experiences that would really be helpful (you don't necessarily have to ask questions). Even if you want to start a thread about "best practices" for things such as installing ROCKS, installing OCS, installing configuring ganglia, Torque (or whatever job scheduler you use), or any other tools/tricks you have. I would love to have customers do this.

BTW - I'm what Dell calls an "Enterprise Technologist" for HPC at Dell. While I'm not fond of the phrase, I'm the subject matter expert for HPC :) So, HPC stuff tends to flow through me :)

Real quick (I've probably gotten too long) - I've written some blogs on technical subjects (looking at IO patterns, etc.). I've uploaded some code for these blogs. I'd like to continue to do this type of thing, so let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Jeff
