Linux Customization on CLON Cluster

Following steps must be performed to complain with CLON Cluster requirements:

1. Automount

• Include machine name into clonfs1 export list

• Add/Modify automounts-related files in '/etc' directory (or copy them from similar machine) and symbolic links. Restart automount service.

NOTE: To mount temporary iso images use command:

mkdir /mnt/isoimage
mount -o loop -t iso9660 blablabla.iso /mnt/isoimage

• on daq servers, set ramdisk and disable swap by running swapoff -a and commenting out swap line in /etc/fstab

• (ON RHEL5 DO yum install mysql-devel): perform MySQL Installation

• install Scons (needed for example by evio compilation)

• customize Java

• install MYA - related stuff

• for EPICS machines: copy /etc/sudoers

• Install required Tcl/Tk packages

• Install Mellanox driver if needed

• Install required PERL modules

• DO NOT NEED ON RHEL5: activate Ntp service (by default it is disabled, at least in RHEL4)

• Proceed with SUN's JAVA installation (default one is IBM's and our stuff is not compiling; besides all Sun machines have Sun's JAVA and we want to have the same version everywhere).

• install UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) - related software

• configure printers (see Troubleshooting printing)

• configure X server if your machine has display(s)

• setup Nrpe
