Hello everybody,

I've read that due to endianness problems all the boxes in the cluster have to have the same CPU platform. I understand the problem, but can I install on a mix of x64 and x86_64? They all have the same endianness but different sizeof()s...

For example, what about two opteron servers both running ndbd/mysqld and one p4 server running ndb_mgmd?

Or, even better, with 5 boxes:

opteron-a -> ndbd, mysqld opteron-b -> ndbd, mysqld p4-a -> mysqld p4-b -> mysqld p4-c -> ndb_mgmd

Thanks Simone
