    Hello all,

    I have setup a 4 cpu machine with windows server 2003 and compute cluster pack.  My question is, Is it possible to setup a 64-bit Windows XP 8 processor machine with compute cluster pack as a head node? If so, is the set up any different from that for server 2003?  I tried to find online help (google) but could not find any helpful links.

    Thank you,

    Anup.

    Hi Anup,

     

    Windows Compute Cluster pack can only be installed on Windows Server 2003. It can't be installed on XP.

     

    Cheers,

    Christina

    For the future reference of all. Here is a link to the prerequisites for CCS '03.

    You can, however, install the Compute Cluster Pack Client Tools on an XP machine, and use that machine to manage/submit jobs to the cluster.  You just can't use an XP machine as a head node or compute node.
