[ofw] question from customer

Ah, now I remember: ServerCore is not supported as a compute node of a
HPC Server 2008 cluster, hence IB is not supported as a communication
fabric between ServerCore nodes. This results from the absence in
ServerCore of capabilities needed by HPC Server 2008 in compute nodes.
 
Cheers,
jwl

	Server 2008 is supported, but there were no test done on
SeverCore. Would you like to give it a try and report issues if occur?
	 
	Gilad.

	Gilad,
	 
	ServerCore is a version of Server 2008 that leaves out all but
the most crucial of the O/S features. In particular, its user interface
is command-line only. It is intended for servers that perform a specific
function like DHCP serving, firewalling, and the like. It's
distinguished by its small resource footprint.

		Thanks,
