1.3 Minimum System Requirements
The following is a list of minimum system requirements for the OSCAR
server node:
- CPU of i586 or above
- A network interface card that supports a TCP/IP stack
- If your OSCAR server node is going to be the router between a
public network and the cluster nodes, you will need a second
network interface card that supports a TCP/IP stack
- At least 4GB total free space - 2GB under / and 2GB
under /var
- An installed version of Linux, preferably a Fully
supported distribution from Table 1
The following is a list of minimum system requirements for the OSCAR
client nodes:
- CPU of i586 or above
- A disk on each client node, at least 2GB in size (OSCAR will
format the disks during the installation)
- A network interface card that supports a TCP/IP
stack1
- Same Linux distribution and version as the server node
- All clients must have the same architecture (e.g., ia32 vs.
ia64)
- Monitors and keyboards may be helpful, but are not required
