[Beowulf] OneSis experiences ?

[Chris Samuel]

Hi folks,

Anyone here played with OneSis ?   It looks like a variation on the WareWulf 
theme..

http://www.onesis.org/

A thin, role-based, single image system for scalable cluster management. 
oneSIS is a simple, flexible method for managing one or more clusters from a 
single filesystem image. It is easy to deploy, and it simplifies the task of 
cluster administration.

Their intro page says:

oneSIS allows you to have diskless nodes, diskfull nodes, or any combination 
in-between. Simple setups require hardly any configuration at all, but with 
oneSIS even complex environments become easy to manage.
