I am about to install OSCAR, and I have some questions that aren't resolved by reading the documents.
1. What version should I install? I got the "latest release", which turns out to be 6.0.5. It comes with a bold-face warning that it's "not necessarily suited for production". So I looked at version 5.1. I found branches called "rc1" and "beta2". Neither of those sounds like a stable release. Is 5.0 the one for me? 2. What about disk partitions on the clients? From the installation manual it's not clear if the installation procedure repartitions and reformats the clients' disks. I would like to do something a little bit exotic. The clients each have two 300 GB disks. I want to have two partitions on each disk, 32 GB for swap and 272 GB for files. Then I want to use software RAID to mirror the two big partitions as a single 272 GB logical device. Can OSCAR deal with this? 3. What CentOS version? The head node runs the current version, 5.5. OSCAR 6.0.5 wants to install 5.4 on the clients. I don't know what OSCAR 5.x would use. Is there some way to use CentOS 5.5 on the clients? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
