I expect this should be possible in the same way as on any other
cluster type, nothing special. But it will probably run slower (how
much?) than on a cluster with local disks, as your large temporary
files will have to be written on the central disk, causing lots of
network traffic (however, such a cluster will probably have a fast
network).
