7.3. Requirements

As the purpose of clump/os is to add nodes to a cluster, it is assumed that you already have a running MOSIX cluster -- or perhaps only a single MOSIX node -- from which you will be initiating jobs. All machines in the cluster must conform to the following requirements:

The following network modules are present, although not all support autoprobing; if you don't see support for your card in this list, then clump/os will not work for you even in Expert Mode.

Please also note that clump/os may not work on a laptop, definately doesn't support PCMCIA cards, and will probably not configure MOSIX properly if your machine contains multiple connected ethernet adapters; see Note 1. This is a temporary limitation of the configuration scripts, and the Release 3/4 kernels which are compiled without CONFIG_MOSIX_TOPOLOGY
