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:</p> <ul> <li>Create a VMWare Team <ul> <li>Hard Drive sizes must be larger than 20 GiB <ul> <li>Memory must be more than 640 MiB <ul> <li>Remove the sound card and floppy <ul> <li>In the vmware team assign all the machines to VLAN1 <ul> <li>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 <ul> <li>Boot PXE when the frontend is up for the clients and all will install </ul> Let me state, Rocks is simply the best cluster software I have had the pleasure of using. Super High Five to the developers!</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul>
