because you can’t run the HPC Pack on ServerCore doesn’t mean that you can’t run
IB. You don’t have to have the HPC Pack installed to install and use IB –
you just won’t be running MPI jobs. But IB storage and networking should

I remember: ServerCore is not supported as a compute node of a HPC Server 2008
