Hey Ziv
You can find basic hardware requirements at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall#STEP 1: Prerequisites
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall#STEP%201:%20Prerequisites>
If you're doing a small setup (2 or 3 physical boxes), it's probably
easiest to just install (CLC, CC, Walrus, SC) on a single front end
node. Check the node controllers CPU supports VT (being recent Xeons
they probably do)
Cheers
