This allows the management node to delegate all management responsibilities for a set of compute or storage nodes to a service node so that the management node doesn't get overloaded. Although xCAT automates a lot of the aspects of deploying and configuring the services, it still adds complexity to your cluster. So the question is: at what size cluster do you need to start using service nodes?? The exact answer depends on a lot of factors (mgmt node size, network speed, node type, OS, frequency of node deployment, etc.), but here are some general guidelines for how many nodes a single mgmt node (or single service node) can handle: * **[Linux]:** - Stateful or Stateless: 500 nodes - Statelite: 250 nodes + * Stateful or Stateless: 500 nodes + * Statelite: 250 nodes * **[AIX]:** 150 nodes
