Platform MPI v5.6.6

The offering includes the following capabilities:

Dynamic Provisioning
Dynamic provisioning provides the ability to dynamically re-purpose nodes within a Platform LSF Workgroup cluster managed by Platform HPC Workgroup Manager.  The re-purposing is driven by LSF Workgroup (or manually) to match the OS configuration of the compute nodes according to the workload requirements. Support configurations include compute nodes configured as dual/multi-boot with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 and Microsoft Windows Server operating systems.

Firstboot scripts
The Firstboot script functionality provides a simple means for IHVs to configure a series of scripts to be executed upon the initial boot of a PCM cluster headnode to prompt for key site specific information including network configuration, Platform LSF Workgroup and Platform MPI licensing.
