StackIQ Rocks+* 5.3 Intel® Cluster Ready on Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 5.4 - Intel® Modular Server Compute Module MFS5520VI

This Intel® ESAA recipe describes the steps required to build an Intel® Cluster Ready HPC cluster using StackIQ Rocks+* 5.3 with Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 5.4 on the Intel® Modular Server Intel® Server Compute Module MFS5520VI - from hardware assembly through performance testing and cluster application development. It includes various options for hardware design, interconnects, management, BIOS and OS provisioning, job schedulers, cluster tools and cluster application development packages and runtime environments. It also includes instructions for Intel® Cluster Ready Pass-Through Certification.

The Intel® Modular Server is a simple, flexible system that provides exceptional value. It enables business in a box with seamless installation, migration, and growth capabilities. It has the ability to support up to six server compute modules, two hard disk drive options (six 3.5" SAS/SATA or fourteen SAS 2.5" hard disk drives), as well as two Ethernet Switch Modules, integrated SAN, and a management module. The Intel® Modular Server is a flexible and powerful system for the small to midsize business. The Intel® Server Compute Module provides the processing and I/O power behind the Intel® Modular Server with support for up to two Intel® Xeon® processors (up to six modules can be deployed). The compute module is entirely diskless and connects to the virtualized shared storage allowing a flexible server configuration.
