Hi David,
1) I have a POC environment where I have successfully have installed and
managed a small cluster using centos7 and rhels7 using xCAT 2.8.5
2) There is support for centos7/rhels7 from Mellanox see link here
http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26&mtag=linux_sw_drivers
I'd agree with both sides of the argument, and it really depends on
yourself on how much you are happy with new software, and happy to
resolve any issues that arise
regards,
Arif Ali

Hello,
First excuse for my english, it's not my native langage, Ask if not
understrandable :)
I'm planning an install of a new cluster.(via a sub-contractor).
I whish to install the new on centos7, because i'd prefer not to start
with an os with 3 "year of late".
But sub-contactor tells he can't and whish to stay in CentOS 6 for2
reasons :
1°) Centos 7 too new, with many changes, and they have no tech knowing
it, and they hear about no infiniband support problems for example...
2°) They work with xcat, and a first try they had many problems with
node deploiement in centos7 (and they succeed if client nodes are
centos6).
Could someone guive some news about using xcat2 for manage centos7
clusters ? (i.e. is there really problems ? Are they really blocking
or critical problems ?)
I see that there is some issues on sourceforge repo, but many are closed.
Thx for your help,
David
