Rocks Cluster

Rocks Cluster rocks my socks. After battling with their FTP to grab the latest ISO, I was finally able to do a VMWare Install of version 4.2. The key for doing a VMWare install in workstation 5.5 was the following points: Create a VMWare Team Hard Drive sizes must be larger than 20 GiB Memory must be more than 640 MiB Remove the sound card and floppy In the vmware team assign all the machines to VLAN1 The Frontend must have 2 NIC, assign them both to VLAN1 till the install is done at which point you can then bridge the public interface or host-only Boot PXE when the frontend is up for the clients and all will install Let me state, Rocks is simply the best cluster software I have had the pleasure of using. Super High Five to the developers!
