[Beowulf] 512 nodes Myrinet cluster Challanges

[Alan Louis Scheinine]

Since you'all are talking about IPMI, I have a question.
The newer Tyan boards have a plug-in IPMI 2.0 that uses
one of the two Gigabit Ethernet channels for the Ethernet
connection to IPMI.  If I use channel bonding (trunking) of the
two GbE channels, can I still communicate with IPMI on Ethernet?
best regards,
Alan Scheinine
