SCore System Installation on Compute Hosts from Source


Login to ALL compute hosts and perform the following:
  1. 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
    
    To rsh by root, please execute as following:
    # echo rsh > /etc/securetty
    
    Then enable rsh rlogin to the compute host.
    # /sbin/chkconfig rsh on
    
  2. Binary Installation from Server

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

        # rdist -c /opt/score/*/deploy computer-host:
        # rdist -c /opt/score/*/lib/build computer-host:
        # rdist -c /opt/score/*/crt.* computer-host:
        # rdist -c /opt/score/*/install computer-host:
    

    And then the following commands:

        # cd /opt/score/install
        # ./setup -score_comp
    

  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.
    To use PM/Ethernet, please create /etc/pm_ethernet.conf file. For example, if you want to use eth0 at unit 0, please following lines in the /etc/pm_ethernet.conf. variable should be:

        PM_ETHERNET_UNIT_ETH0=0
    

Then, please reboot the compute hosts
# /sbin/reboot
