Orange pi one plus - cluster

BiologyGeek

Hi, I want to build cluster with ubuntu server for my bioinformatics calculations and maybe for webserver.
I didn't o anything lke that earlier, so its some practice for me.

Here is what i have:
> 5x orange pi one plus (every opi with heatsinks)
> NAS expansion (for disk minissd or HDD)
> tp-link switch with 8 ports (tp-link tl-sf1008d, im afraid it will be to slow for this, but i can change it later)
> AC DC Power Adapter 5V / 10A Charger Transformer ( for Opi's)
    - with splitter
> 2 port usb charger for NAS and switch (cause of i cant find power supply for all of opis with switch and NAS - im bad at electronics)
> ethernet cables
> Adapters to power supply

I have some questions about
- sd cards, every opi must have ubuntu server installed?
- NAS when i connect expansion with disk will it be visible to system without any actions in sys?
Best

UPDATE:
cluster is working, but i need install mpich2 and some thiings and program it.
I had a problem with static ips now and i thinkin of better energy source.
Thing I wanna do is to check energy consumption of one node on maximum working and minimal

There are other post talked about cluster, like this: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepi ... p;highlight=cluster
I am not sure whether they could share their ideas with you or not.
Good luck!

Just curios. When you check your /proc/loadavg is it actually lower than 3?
Sorry, this has actually nothing to do with your issue, but I am stuck with another problem described here and would appreciate if you could give this a quick check when the device has been idle for a while.

Hello! There a lot of benefits of installing solar panels. Firstly, the solar industry is developing by leaps and bounds, so every day the solar panels are improving, becoming cheaper and more efficient.
Secondly, they are safer, cleaner, more environmentally friendly and recyclable, unlike non-recoverable energy sources.
I am using portable solar panels  These solar panels are much more convenient than ordinary ones, because if something happens, they can be moved from place to place. I bought 5 of these from portable solar panels
Now they help me save money. I do not regret this investment. I assure you, the future lies with such portable solar panels!
