Subject: [MTT users] To run MTT on our cluster

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your previous clarification.

At our organisation (www.nesi.org.nz) we would like to use MTT for MPI heath check of our clusters. It it okay use MTT, legally, if we sign up to the following agreement.
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/contribute/corporate.php. Whom shall I send this doc?

If that is done, how can we install MTT in our clusters? Can you please explain it to me step by step? Or is there any elaborate documentation to get info on it? I have gone through the MTT wiki. It doesn’t explicitly speak about how MTT can be deployed in a stand-alone cluster like ours.

We are using Easy-Build to install MPI and other libraries. So we may skip those steps in MTT.We just need to run the tests and collect health reports. From what I understand from the documentation, I have to fetch MPI tests from your svn server each time and run it on our machines. Can we collect the results internally and use MTT Reviewer internally to assess it? Or does it go to a central server outside our organisation?

Can you please help us through these queries? Thanks in advance.
