Greetings Scott and Roger,

I thank you for responding to my post and have been working my way through the documentation for the installation but just ran into a small problem while setting up the head node.

Everything ran fine up until the point when it asked me to reboot the system in step number 18.

I am getting the message:

"
ERROR: could not find NIC with a static node configured. Dynamically allocating an IP and node number.

Could not find the NIC used to add this node to the cluster.

Unable to continue. Halting.
"

On this node which will be the head node, I have network cards (one for the static public IP "eth0" and one for the interconnect NIC which I assigned a static IP of 192.168.0.1 "eth1")

Since the system is not booting and I cannot seem to get to a command prompt, does this mean that I will have to re-install everything from scratch and try again?

Thanks and have a great day,

Hi Lonnie,

At http://openssi.org/cgi-bin/view?page=openssi.html, there is an x86_64
preview release for Debian at the top of the list of releases.  I personally
haven't used it; I'm running the 32 bit version at the moment.  The
install process is a bit involved and, in my experience, likely to go
wrong due to changes in Debian that have happened since the OpenSSI
release was prepared.  Knowing your way around Linux is essential.

I'm in Ohio at YAPC, the Perl conference right now.  I gave a talk on 
scaling Plack (a Perl version of the Rack Web interface/toolkit idea)
applications using OpenSSI.  Perl's thread interface is also implemented
by a module that's implemented in terms of forked processes using
IPC.  This is one option for writing a distributed cache without the
programming overhead of memcached.  I wrote Plack middleware for doing 
session affinity (keeping user's sessions on the same host) which is
necessary for frameworks based on coroutines (keeping execution contexts
around for users).  Plack worker-processes can be automatically or manually
migrated.  

One of these, I need to go do some editing in the Wiki, but one tip:
don't count on the network hardware in your machines being supported.
I bought a pile of older 3COM 3c509 style cards off of eBay, but
my machines are mostly non-uniform so far.

Good luck and let the list know if you get stuck.

Cheers,
-scott
