I might not understand your question.

I think Rocks supports some rather high number of nodes. http://www.rocksclusters.org/rocks-d...g-started.html

my task is to install the rocks cluster on 41 nodes, do i need a 41 kernel CD??
or there is a better solution to install rocks on these 41 nodes

If I understand this, you use the same kernel on all the nodes. You don't need 41 kernels.

Dear nkoula,

Rocks Cluster Supports over network installation. After installing the front-end u just need to set the bios(in compute nodes)to boot from network, in this case Rocks would be installed automatically on the compute node so u won't need even 1 cd!!
