Hi Evan,

Thanks for the response. Just out of curiosity, do you have to pay the extra licensing costs for each CentOS node?

best,

Hi Adam,
I use GPFS as my filesystem for my Centos-Xenvirtual environment.

The Virtual servers are converted Compute nodes, running Centos 5.4 with Xen
3.4.2 and have Infiniband connectivity to the NSD servers. ÂThe VM's all live on
the GPFS filesystem. ÂThis has worked pretty well, the disk performance of the
VM's has been good when using the GPL paravirt drivers (my VM's are windows
server 2003).
