Dear all, Thank you very much for your answers; am a little overwhelmed as I did not expect so many so fast. I will take a look at your suggestions and sites.
The cluster is medium performance for something called bioinformatics; we are looking at next generation sequence data.
I know it had Centos installed and was using Torque/PBS for running cluster jobs. This was set up by a company and we want to install fresh.
If I get anywhere without a sys admin, I will post (maybe another question).
Cheers,

Dear Centos users, I am not sure if this the correct place to post but it seems sensible. I have an 8 node cluster which I want to install/configure Centos. As I am not a sys-admin, can anyone advise me on what I should do?
Any suggestions appreciated.
What do you mean by "cluster"? Is this for high-availability (H/A), or load balancing for very heavy traffic, or high performance computing? Each is different.
Or, these days there is even a category of distributed databases like riak that work across a group of machines, and only the app needs to be set up for clustering.
