Easy to install and very stable. However, I've been very impressed with SGE (although I've only been using it for 2 months). If you can wait until SGE version 6.1 is available, I'd try that first. On a related note, I had module/kernel problems getting systemimager to work on the blades, eventually got there though, so me know if you need a copy of teh initrd.img/kernel etc. Steve Hershel Safer wrote: > Hi folks, > > I'd be interested to hear from folks who are using IBM Blade Center > clusters about good and bad experiences you've had with various job > queueing systems.
