One Big Server: This is what we have now. One heavy job caused some file system issues that eventually brought down the entire engine causing impact all Business units (BUs) using this environment. Now BUs want their own Engine so that so will not get impacted due to some run away job from other BUs...

Yes, its DS version 11.3.

Are you going to have multiple Compute nodes and one compute node will also act as Conductor node?

any cautions while implementing Grid? as we are migrating 1000s of jobs from SMP to Grid.

Thanks

Experts, Have any of you implemented grid using RHEL Virtual server as your both conductor and compute nodes? 1. What are the down side of implementing VMs for Compute nodes? 2. DO we need Dedicated network for Compute nodes? 3. What kind of NFS you have implemented? NAS, GPFS etc Thanks in advance ...
