[Beowulf] copying data between clusters

[Bill Rankin]

Umm, you have your network guys pull a fiber run (or two) from your
cluster's file server over to the other cluster's core network switch?

Alternately, you unbolt and pull the shelf of FC disks out of the rack, put
them on a cart and wheel them over to the other cluster's filer.
(1/2 :-)

It's an ill defined problem.

What's your network topology?  Per-node bandwidth is pretty meaningless if
you are oversubscribed (and most clusters are).  What's the biggest pipe
between cluster A and cluster B?
