Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

Many system administrators are being asked to integrate a Windows HPC Server2008 (HPCS) based cluster into a Linux environment. This paper details the integration process as well as the execution of HPC applications in both environments through the use of the Sun Grid Engine (SGE) workload management system. To help the reader replicate this process, the steps start from bare metal (i.e. empty systems), and notes are provided as to why each step is required. The final target application is the HP Linpack benchmark from the University of Tennessee, which is used by multiple cluster owners run as a first trial of a new cluster. It serves to help verify that the cluster is fully functional and to give an indication of the ultimate performance of the cluster.
