SCore System Installation on Compute Hosts

1. Binary Installation from binary RPMs

   Mount the /opt/score.work directory of the server on the compute host, and then execute the following commands:

   	# cd /opt/score.work
   	# ./bininstall -compute
   

2. Set up networking
   /root/.rhosts and the /etc/hosts.equiv files must contain all server and compute host names so that the rsh command works on all hosts. For example,

   server.pccluster.org
   comp0.pccluster.org
   comp1.pccluster.org
   comp2.pccluster.org
   comp3.pccluster.org
   

3. Edit /root/.bashrc on all hosts so that the following line is added:

   export PWD
   

4. PM/Ethernet init program

   The PM/Ethernet init program was already installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d when the binaries were installed using the binary RPMs.
   Edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/pm_ethernet file and modify the IF variable if the machine has more than one ethernet card and you want to use a device other than the /dev/eth0 device. For example, if you want to use /dev/eth1, the IF variable should be:

   	IF=eth1
   

   Then invoke the following command:

   	# /etc/rc.d/init.d/pm_ethernet start
   

5. PBS/SCore
   See PBS/SCore Administrator's Guide if you want to use PBS/SCore.
