<p class=MsoNormal>First of all please excuse me if this is not the right place
to ask (If anyone knows a good place to start for information on Infiniband
clustering then please let me know). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m considering an Infiniband Xen Virtual Server cluster
under Centos 5.1. I already have a pair of under utilized NAS servers running
Windows Server 2003. I’ve played with MYSQL NDB clustering and have a
reasonable amount of Linux and Windows experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Would using the Windows Servers as storage and the Centos
based servers as cluster nodes even be possible with the current state of
software? Any general advice or tips?<o:p></o:p></p>
