Hi all,
Would any of you be able to help me understand how to set up a diskless cluster? I have 4 mini-itx boards, a NAS box, and an Ubuntu 14.04 desktop. If possible, I'd like to operate the cluster from a VM (using VMM) on the desktop, and use the NAS for storing compute data. But a lot of the sites I've read have left me a little overwhelmed. I'm not asking for an idiots guide or anything. But if any of you would be able to explain how things should be configured in simple English, I'd be very grateful!
I should note; the NAS box is currently in use. So, unfortunately, formatting the drives is not an option. So if there's a way to have the nodes use an existing share, that'd be really helpful, too.
My current config is machines > physical switch > router > Internet. I just want to crunch cancer data, and toy around with multiple OSes from home.
Many thanks in advance.
