Re: [Oscar-users] Seeking OSCAR replacement (CentOS based preferred)

[Sten Wolf]

Hi, Been installing xCAT for the past 2 years on various clusters (a couple of IBM based X systems, but mostly SuperMicro twins and 2sqU). In the SM HW, configuring IPMI (which is essential for xCAT management) is a breath. Easy as pie (or insert whatever is equivalent to 2+2=4 in your culture). Quite happy with it, but note that unless you purchase the IBM hpc package (i.e. loadleveler at. al.) you have to install your own scheduler. I have been installing and using slurm (with munge) and deployment is quite simple once you build RPMS. Same note regarding IB stack - although RH/SL/OL/CentOS all provide ofed RPMS (and xCAT has a decent ib installation postscript), I prefer to build from vanilla OFED, with latest openmpi srpms dropped into the SRPM dir "as-is". works quite well. All in all, for me (and the last 8 or so clusters I built) - xCAT + SLURM + OFED was easy to install and maintain. http://xcat.sourceforge.net On 14/06//2012 15:59, Nash, Stephen wrote: Hello,   OK. So it appears that Oscar is very much dead. Does anyone know of any similar solutions which are still active?   I have come across two that appear to still be “alive”: Rocks and Warewulf.   Does anyone know of any others? A lot of the others that I have been aware of in the past (Oscar, Perceus, Caos, etc.) all lead to dead-ends web links or bits that are several years old.   Thanks in advance,   Steve Nash This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
