Hi-

Thanks a lot for the reply JP.

The information provided is of most value for me.

I have a doubt here.

I will install Nova-compute in a server say Essex-1 and another server say
Essex-2.

I have a tilera board too in the setup.

Can you please guide me on how to start this tilera board using
Nova-compute in Essex-1 machine. and How Nova-compute in Essex-2 can be
made as Proxy-Nova-compute. I mean what changes to Nova-compute makes Proxy
nova-compute.
