Subject: [cAos] Install problem
Message-ID: <371323.18119.qm@web51607.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hi,

   When I tried to install Caos NSA 1 64 bits, the folowing message appears,  just after I choose to boot with autoinstall from CD:
   locating the cinch cdrom...
   The CDROM was not found.

   Any suggestions?

 Alex

Hello Alex,

Usually this means there was a problem recognizing the CDROM drive
itself. What kind of device are you using? Maybe try a USB CDROM?

Regards,
Greg

Hi folks,
first of all thanks for this pretty clean system. Finally  a real  
successor for my beloved Trustix! Anyway, I?ve installed Caos NSA 1.0  
and stumbled into two problems. First and formost: How to add a second  
ip address  to an interface? I?ve tried it the way I did in Trustix/ 
Centos but without bringing it to work. Here is what I?ve tried:
/etc/sysconfig/nics/eth0_1

GATEWAY=x.x.x.1
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DHCP_HOSTNAME=egw.in.reproheinatz.de
IPADDR=x.x.x.250
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
ONPARENT=yes
PEERDNS=yes

Second problem: How to change the keyboard map? Can?t find the  
mentioned kbdconfig, can?t find a file to edit.

Best regards,


   Mike

Glad to know that Caos is working out well for you!

Change the type of the device to alias instead of Ethernet
(TYPE=alias), and then the rest of the file would look just like the
other device configs:

So if you put this in a file called /etc/sysconfig/nics/somename

DEVICE=eth0:1
TYPE=alias
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=10.0.0.1
NETMAS=255.255.255.0

and then "ifup somename" will do the trick. The name of the config
file can be anything, and you can address it with the ifup and ifdown
commands. So for example, I have configs on my laptop for wireless
home, wireless open, eth0, etc...

If you do a "smart upgrade" you will get the kbd RPM and updates to
the sysinit package to set "KEYMAP=xxx" in the file
/etc/sysconfig/sysinit. Let me know if you have any questions on this.

Good luck!

Greg

Too bad, that doesn?t work for me. I?ve created a new file, put the  
the abouve stuff, but it doesn?t come up. Both boot and ipup are  
failing without any error messages. But when I misspell something in  
the file let?s say NETMAS instead of NETMASK, I get error messages  
both during boot and with the ipup command. On the other hand  
"ipconfig eth0:1 10.0.0.1" adds the second ip address to the interface  
without any problems and both ip addresses can be pinged. As a current  
work around I have added the ipconfig line to the network init script.

hm, doesn?t seem to work. I?ve added KEYMAP="de" at the end of /etc/ 
sysconfig/sysinit but doesn?t work. No german keymap aviable?

Best regards,

Ack,.. Sorry about that, I not only mistyped NETMASK, but I also
forgot BOOTPROTO=static. The correct file should look like:

DEVICE=eth0:1
TYPE=alias
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=10.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BOOTPROTO=static

Which I just double checked should work fine.

The kbd package and sysinit upgrade is still in nsa-testing. You can
enable that in sidekick by navigating to: Applications -> Packages ->
Repositories and then select nsa-testing.

Let me know if that helps better. :)

Greg

Hi all,

I'm running 64-bit Caos NSA and have been unable to get a JRE-capable
browser working. I've tried the 32-bit version of Firefox and SeaMonkey,
both to no avail. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

thanks, David

I have 32-bit firefox working with Flash and Java on Caos, and it
works fine.  What kinds of problems are you seeing?

I couldn't get it to fire up at all. Lots of missing libs (presumably
32-bit)..... How did you install?

smart install firefox at i386

Here's the channel file in case that's what you're missing:
[caos-main]
name = Caos 1.0 32-bit package repository
baseurl = http://mirror.caoslinux.org/Caos-NSA-1.0/packages/i386/
type = rpm-md
priority = 10

Unfortunately this didn't work. Is there a typo (perhaps?) in "smart install
firefox at i386"? Here's what happened:

smart install firefox at i386
New channel 'Caos 1.0 32-bit package repository (caos-main)' detected.
Include it? (Y/n): y

Subject: [cAos] VNFS with a recompiled kernel
Message-ID: <247504.28900.qm@web84107.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

What is the recommended way to create a VNFS with a re-compiled kernel?   Master node could be either CAOS or Centos, and all my nodes are indentical.  I want to recompile a kernel so it contains only that which is required, and nothing is compiled as a module (unless required).

1. Use CAOS and generic kernel source. Problem: there is no /usr/src/cprots/packages/kernel

2. Follow procedure specified http://wiki.caoslinux.org/SCM_Access to build packages.  (Can the kernel be build using this procedure)?

3. Use Centos, percpus re-compile kernel and then build VNFS using new kernel

Any other options?  Any advantages, disadavantages associated withe each method?

TIA

Hello,

If using Caos on the master node as well you can install the
"caos-kernel-source" package via "smart" which will install the kernel
sources in /usr/src/kernels/[version], and you can customize and build
from there.

What is the reasoning for building your own kernel in the VNFS? Is it
to save space in ram, or other optimization?

Regards,

Hi Greg,

The short answer is, I'm trying to make a minimal VNFS, not only at the package level, but also at the kernel level.? For the packages I found this blog
http://clusterbuffer.wetpaint.com/?t=anon?which?looks like?a good introduction.

As for building?a?new kernel, I want?get my hands dirty before building?the cluster, and also get an idea what is the?improvement of an?optimized kernel compared to the standard kernel, at least at the size level.? Considering that the standard RH/Clones kernels?include everything except the kitchen sink, I'd be very surprised if the improvement is insignificant, at least at the size level.? Performance improvement would require testing.? Who knows, when it is all said and done the improvements might not justify the time and energy (and possible instability) and I might end up with the standard kernel and disable?the unused modules.? But it is worth a try, at least for the learning experience.

As for?my new cluster, all the nodes are identical, no sound board, no usb ports, no serial ports, no parallel port, no floppy drive,? no power management, no firewall required, and no ipv6.???Once the cluster is up and running?the nodes will only be used?with MPI.

Thanks for quick?reply.

regards
bogdan

Hello,

If using Caos on the master node as well you can install the
"caos-kernel-source" package via "smart" which will install the kernel
sources in /usr/src/kernels/[version], and you can customize and build
from there.

What is the reasoning for building your own kernel in the VNFS? Is it
to save space in ram, or other optimization?

Regards,

Greg

Hello,

I am once again, just curious. Is the motivation for the minimal VNFS
and kernel speed optimizations or size limitations/requirements? I am
only asking because there are several ways you can proceed depending
on your requirements.

For example, I am aware of someone that has created a RHEL general use
VNFS capsule that only takes up about 35MB of RAM. I am also aware of
some people that have non-general purpose capsules (built and tuned to
run a single application) that are also small. If your worried about
OS noise, then you can take different approaches as well. :)

As far as performance goes, I don't know how much of an optimization
you will gain by building a monolithic kernel. You might be able to
tune a bit more for your processor and architecture, but I am not sure
it will be worth the effort. And if your just hoping to save space, I
would recommend doing a very simple removal of kernel modules that
aren't needed to save some major headaches (maybe even blow away the
entire module directories after boot).

So really it comes down to what is the end result you are shooting
for, because there are several paths to get there. :)

Regards,

Greg

Hi all,

    I have a 2 node cluster Caos NSA installed. The frontend and the only (by now) computer node are Intel core 2 duo. I installed Perceus and Slurm too and I think they are ok. I have the standard MPI's "Hello World" program.
   My problem is: I just can run this program on the frontend. How can I do to run this program using the frontend and the computer node (all 4 processors)? 
   Please, give-me a step-by-step instruction because I'm starting in parallel programming.

  Thanks in advance for any answers.

  Alex

Hello,

This probably isn't what you are looking for, but there is a
webdav/fuse solution that looks like it can mount webdav servers as a
kernel mount.

http://dav.sourceforge.net/

Hope that helps,

Hello,

There are a lot of documents on how to do this already written at
http://www.open-mpi.org. In a nutshell:

$ mpicc -o hello-world hello.c
$ mpirun -np 4 -hostfile ./nodes ./hello-world

The host file "nodes" must contain entries for each node hostname that
you wish to use for the job.

Best of luck!

Hello,

If you login directly to n0000, can you find the program? I am
thinking that it doesn't see the program. Maybe /home is not mounted,
or you need to try to call it with the full path.

Not sure how else I can help.

Good luck though.

I?ve tried to run ldap but it didn?t work. I?ve installed it with  
"smart install openldap*" to include the devel stuff and everything  
worked fine. After that I?ve added my local domain data to the  
slapd.conf and tried to start the slapd with "/etc/init.d/lapd start".  
The startup script fails complaining about the missing command  
"runuser". Well there is no runuser within the caos installation. A  
quick google search tells me that runuser seems to be part of the core- 
utils which are installed on my system. To no longer mess up the  
system I just copied over the runuser command from a Centos 5 box. Now  
the init script fails with errors in the configuration files even when  
I go back to my backups and brings at least the message "Cannot  
connect to session". Any ideas what to do to run ldap?

Best regards,

   Mike

Hi,

  I don't solve my problem. Slurm doesn't include my new node 'n0000' in its node list. Do I have to manually configure each new node? How can I do it?

  Please, help me.

Hello Mike.

openldap is being worked for integration with Caos NSA. A post to the 
list will
be made when a package is available for testing.

Sorry for not being able to offer any advice at this time.

Message-ID: <20090212172911.74kfv65gxvmswwo4@webmail.infiscale.com>

Hello Alex.

Nodes should be added to Slurm automatically when added to Perceus. Perhaps
there is a problem with your setup.

I would recommend first to remove your node from perceus.

# perceus node delete n0000

Next I would try to restart the Slurm daemon

# /etc/init.d/slurm restart

And add the node back into Perceus by powering it up. Slurm should detect it
then.

Also, you may get better a better response regarding Perceus and clustering
questions by addressing the warewulf mailing list at warewulf at caoslinux.org, as
more people with knowledge in that subject are watching that list.

Let us know how it goes, and if we can offer any other assistance.

harddrives.

 When I do either autoinstall, or autoinstall layout=manual, it would
went thru the fdisk and formatting. Then the installation process would
complain about :  cp: unable to create '/newroot/dev/tty': No such file
or directory and a whole bunch of other ttys and uba and urandom and
zero. Then it complain about 

Chroot: cannot execute /sbin/grub-install: No such file or directory.

Then it unmount all files and quit, doing no installations.

 

 When I do demo, it try to create the working files, then complain about
a 

Gzip: bad block of type 3 

 Cannot extract the /boot/vmlinuz

 Then it quit.

Can you try installing without doing a manual partitioning? 

Autoinstall alone should install a base system for you. If that works, please forward your partition information you are trying so we can check that.

Don't worry about this one, as it turned out it is my stupid CD-ROM
drive, I changed to a new drive and the install work.

Now I get my second question. Does CAOS NSA support libvirt? If so,
where can I get the rpm?

Actually , in general what rpm is compatible with NSA? Fc10? Fc11?

Thanks.

Hello Apollo,

As you discovered, the installer is setup in such a way that any
device or media errors causes very weird failures. We have some ideas
on the best way to handle device error conditions and testing of
media/device prior to the install. With that said, good to see you got
NSA installed and welcome to the team!

We don't currently have libvirt in the distro. Reason being (last time
I checked), there were some dependency loops that needed further
investigation.

As far as binary compatibility, it would really depend on the package
itself. I would say we are closest to FC9-10, but they implement
aspects of the OS that we don't support (e.g. SELinux Vs. GRSecurity)
that would affect a good handful of packages.

We are happy to take package requests that are within the scope of the
OS (e.g. NSA: Nodes, Servers, Appliances). We are also accepting
contributions and encouraging participation from the community if
anyone is interested (speaking to the masses).

Regards,

Greg

There are RPMS in the nsa-testing repository for R. Once the testing
repository has been activated (sidekick; Applications -> Packages ->
Repositories -> nsa-testing) you can run the following command:

$ sudo smart install R

This is the first integration of R into Caos, so let us know how it
goes for you.

Message-ID: <6FCFAF3A6750C544B6776BC80D02F2971544CDEC@THOWELL.gweiss.local>

Hi,

 I successfully installed a 3 node (including master) cluster using CAOS
NSA 1.0.8. I enable the test archive using sidekick and installed
successfully the R package, as well as qemu. (R has nothing to do with
qemu, I know). Libvirt and virt-manager was not in the archive so I
cannot installed them. I even try compiling libvirt from source code but
it require libxenstore with make me hesitate since I do not know if Xen
would interfere with perceus. 

 However, my question is that now I got qemu working (despite no
management tools like virt-manager, I can still do command line). Does
any one has experience on how to run multiple virtual machine on a CAOS
NSA cluster? Would the master node farm extra workload onto the slave
nodes automatically? Or do I need additional packages? I already enable
SLURM.

 Thanks in advance.

Apollo

That is why we have Abstractual now. Abstractual will let you populate the systems with vm's as well as move them around, etc.

Message-ID: <571f1a060902250020g7fac49geda2a5300ca7843f@mail.gmail.com>

The Caos team of developers and contributors from Infiscale are proud
to announce the public release of Caos Linux NSA-1.0.8, an updated
release to the NSA-1.0 tree. Caos Linux is a community-managed and
openly-maintained distribution of Linux focusing on areas where Linux
naturally leads and excels: high performance computation (HPC),
servers (especially LAMP and general Web), and custom appliances (such
as file servers and firewalls).

The NSA-1.0 release identifies the stabilization and validation of the
core operating system, fully tested on some of the world's fastest
public and private systems and architectures. And now with NSA 1.0.8
you get bleeding-edge security updates, the new 2.6.28 kernel, updated
packages such as OFED 1.4 and gcc-4.3.3, a streamlined Sidekick system
configuration toolkit (making the installation of Caos Linux and
Perceus even faster and easier), the latest Perceus 1.5 cluster
management software, and Abstractual, Infiscale's cloud virtualization
solution. All of these updates are already integrated in the NSA-1.0.8
ISO release of Caos Linux, available now on our download mirrors.



Please note: All updates for Caos Linux NSA 1.0 are available as
package upgrades to existing installs using the command "smart
upgrade".

This announcement was sent on behalf of the Caos development team and Infiscale.

I was told Abstractual can do multiple vm's distributed on slave nodes.
However, where can I find documentation of Abstractual? The best I came
up with google was the faq page. Is there a how to ? Or better yet, is
there a user guide for Abstractual. 

I have Abstractual installed on my CAOS NSA 1.0.8 cluster. However, when
I start abstractual, all it complains about was the daemon is not
running. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
