Log

Green color indicates something that still needs to be done.

Cloning

  • Download the udpcast rpm from http://udpcast.linux.lu/source.html
    • Install with yum --nogpgcheck localinstall udpcast-20081213-1.i386.rpm
    • On hopper, installed the syslinux and tftpd-hpa ports
      • Enable tftpd in /etc/inetd.conf by removing the comments and restart inetd with /etc/rc.d/inetd restart
      • The following lines were already in /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf: allow booting; allow bootp;
      • cp /usr/local/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /tftpd/ (the /tftpd directory needs to be created)

Head Node

Yum installed:

  • gcc.x86_64, gcc-c++.x86_64
  • for Ganglia:
    • apr.x86_64 and apr-devel.x86_64
    • libconfuse-2.5-4.el5.x86_64.rpm, libconfuse-devel-2.5-4.el5.x86_64.rpm (from Fedora repositories)
    • expat-devel.x86_64
  • for Intel updates:
    • compat-libstdc++-33.i386

Install C3 tools from http://www.csm.ornl.gov/torc/C3/C3softwarepage.shtml

  • Downloaded full install rpm on bs0, installed with yum --nogpgcheck localinstall c3-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm

Ganglia

  • On hopper, added the data_source line for bs0 to /usr/local/etc/gmetad.conf and restarted it with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gmetad restart
  • Downloaded tar ball from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ganglia/
    • See Ganglia README
    • ./configure --prefix=/cluster
    • The head node uses a different Ganglia gmond.conf in /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf and the workers just have theirs symlinked to /cluster/etc/gmond.conf
    • By default, iptables is running on the CentOS install and blocks hopper's Ganglia requests
      • Turned off by clearing it and then running /sbin/service iptables save

Networking

  • Shorewall, see /etc/shorewall/params for almost all of the important definitions
    • Natting is done through /etc/shorewall/masq
  • DHCP relay, added to boot with chkconfig on, set for hopper (installed as part of dhcp yum package)
    • See /etc/sysconfig/dhcrelay
    • This means that a dhcp server is also installed, but it is not set to run and is not configured, either
    • Hopper needs to have a static route added in order to have the responses return, these are in /etc/rc.conf:
static_routes="bs0"
route_bs0="192.168.0.1 159.28.234.200"

Modules

Torque

  • Installed from source with ./configure --with-default-server=bs0.bobsced.loc --with-rc=scp --disable-mom --with-server-home=/var/spool/pbs ("clients" is what installs qmgr)
  • Installs to /usr/local/
  • Set up according to Debian Clusters setup
  • Reran the ./configure but without --disable-moms, then ran make packages, copied this to worker node

Maui

  • installed Maui according to same link as above
