OSTI ID:1005419
This paper describes a methodology for implementing disk-less cluster systems using the Network File System (NFS) that scales to thousands of nodes. This method has been successfully deployed and is currently in use on several production systems at Sandia National Labs. This paper will outline our methodology and implementation, discuss hardware and software considerations in detail and present cluster configurations with performance numbers for various management operations like booting.
