This is good advice. I once participated in a move of clusters to a new building at an oil company. I was very, very impressed with their professionalism. They had hired a moving company, who unracked every node and wrapped it in bubble wrap before moving it across to the new building. As a result the systems came back up without major problems. Five year old kit is getting old and cranky, and should be treated like your arthritic grandmother. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
