3.2 IA64 and Other Bleeding Edge Systems Notes
- Itanium is supported on RedHat 7.2. Itanium 2 is not yet
supported.2
- The OSCAR autoinstall diskette will probably not work on Itanium
systems, but they mostly have support for network booting.
- Some Itanium 1 or 2 systems are supported by OSCAR under
RedHat's Linux 7.2 release for Itanium. Itanium systems that can
use the standard RedHat Itanium kernel for booting and network
access should work with OSCAR.
- If an Itanium (or an IA32 based) system has new or unknown
hardware that is not supported by the stock kernel in the base
operating system release, it will not work with standard OSCAR,
since OSCAR uses the kernel RPMS supplied with the vendors release
to boot and load the compute nodes. If you have a custom compiled
kernel/module set that works for your hardware, you should look at
the NCSA utilities at http://oscar.ncsa.uiuc.edu/ to
enable you to use them in OSCAR.
