SCore System Installation on Compute Hosts


Login to ALL compute hosts and perform the following:
  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
    
    To rsh by root, please execute as following:
    # echo rsh > /etc/securetty
    
    Then enable rsh rlogin to the compute host.
    # /sbin/chkconfig rsh on
    
  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.
    To use PM/Ethernet, please create /etc/pm_ethernet.conf file. For example, if you want to eth0 on PM/Ethernet unit 0, please create /etc/pm_ethernet.conf as following line;

        PM_ETHERNET_UNIT_ETH0=0
    

Then please reboot the compute hosts
# /sbin/reboot
