Best way to setup C7000 as HPC cluster?

[Hoangcao243]

Hello friends,

I'm receiving my very first C7000 system very soon with 16xBL465c G7 blades 4Gb ram, 2x amd 6276, 146gb sas.

I'm planning to use the system as my render farm and running some other calculation.

I never had a blade system in my life before. So what's the best way to setup C7000 as HPC cluster to have all blades work together on 1 project?

Which operating system would you recommend? If you know any tutorial, please kindly include.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Hoangcao, 

I am about to purchase similar configuration for rendering. 

I suppose you already have your machine. Would you mind to share some experiences you have? Does it work according to your expectations? Is there anything you would change? 

Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Regards,

Tom
