Linux Customization on CLON Cluster
Following steps must be performed to complain with CLON Cluster requirements:
1. Automount
- Include machine name into clonfs2 export list
- Add/Modify automount-related files in '/etc' directory (or copy them from similar machine):
/etc/auto.master:
/u auto.u.bb --timeout 0 -DOSNAME=Linux-RHEL4 /w auto.w.bb -v -d -g /misc /etc/auto.misc /usr/local /etc/auto.local
/etc/auto.misc:
cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom home -rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 clonfs2:/home apps -rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 clonfs2:/apps/Linux_i686 work -rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 clon00:/work scratch -rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 clon00:/scratch data -rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 clon10:/data
/etc/auto.local:
clas -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/clas downloads -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/downloads bin -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/bin etc -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/etc include -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/include lib -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/lib libexec -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/libexec man -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/man sbin -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/sbin share -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/share src -rw,bg clonfs2:/vol/vol0/local/Linux_i686/src
- Set corresponding symbolic links and restart service:
cd / rm -rf home ln -s /misc/apps apps ln -s /misc/home home ln -s /misc/work work ln -s /misc/scratch scratch ln -s /misc/data data /etc/init.d/autofs restart
NOTE: To mount temporary iso images use command:
mkdir /mnt/isoimage mount -o loop -t iso9660 blablabla.iso /mnt/isoimage
- activate Ntp service (by default it is disabled, at least in RHEL4)
- install UPS-related software
- configure printers (see Troubleshooting printing)
- install (or customize if installed) mysql software: follow instructions in MySQL Installation
- configure X server
