hi, I will be creating a cluster using red hat EL 5.3 consisting of 3 nodes which will run Xen virtual machines. The first two nodes will host around 30 virtual machines ( all paravirt Linux and some Solaris if possible) . The third node will be basically a fail over node and will host virtual machines if there is a problem at node 1 or node 2. I do not know if this is the right way to ask but I need recommendation on which CPU to choose (i7, phenom, quad core or dual core) and how much RAM do I need on node 1 and node 2 and on also node 3. And also which server hardware is recommended for my purpose. My test cluster is based on Dell Poweredge 1800 machines with DRAC 4 (which I am using for fencing) and looks like DELL Poweregde server can be a good candidate. Any help is highly appreciated.
