Dear all,
I would like to bring up a general question and hope you can give us some
advice:
We're operating a cluster running 1024 Opterons. As OS SuSE 9.0 prof.
64bit is installed (but nearly all 32bit libs are also there). PBS is used
as a batch system.
I want to have include that machine (at least in part) into LCG.
For several reasons, I cannot change the OS from SuSE to SL. But as we for
example run ATLAS-Software on the machine w/o problems, that shouldn't
make too much trouble.
Is there any proposed way how to proceed? I would assume that all the WN
specific RPMs would have to be installed (which would be no problem), but
does everything needed is situated under /opt/lcg, /opt/edg, or /etc
afterwards, so that it wouldn't affect the SuSE system? Has anybody tried
something like this and how much efford was this?
I remember that Dresden reported to have Debian systems configured to act
as LCG nodes, but if I remember correctly, this was a very big efford.
Any advice, hint, whatever is useful!
Thanks and best regards,
Torsten
