[one-users] OpenNebula on BladeCenter H

[Ivan Porro]

Hi Ruben,

my main trouble is about Infiniband and GPFS drivers... I don't know, byt
probably it will be easier to go with KVM instead of XEN. We were however
planning CentOS 5.X for the stock Xen kernel... I'll let you know our results.

Thank you again,

Ivan
