I have had success getting opensaf to install and run reliably on both rhel 5&6 and fedora19 on various sizes of native clusters (thanks to the details present in the opensaf README and 00-README.conf files ... Thank you!)
We got a fault tolerant service to work and take over in manner similar to the VLCKvm demo I got from Jonas Arndt (Thank you, Jonas et al!) Our system has many fault tolerant components in it and hacking the imm.xml each time seemed not to be a good plan for deploying software on multiple clusters in multiple configurations. It was thought that smf would be the best way, by layering in campaign.xml files in order into the installing perl script. I could not seem to get the smf samples to install or run on native systems, they build, but the installation is a bit of a mystery (the README there doesn't give hints about $REPOSITORY and the like: what these things are and how to set them up.) I reached out through Jonas to find out if anyone knew how to install the smf samples and get things working. An educator he knows suggested seeing if installing the UML simulator demo would be instructive. I noticed it had been removed from the tools directory in the release tarball: when I found this to be the case for the opensaf tests, I went to the mercurial archive and grabbed the snapshot of the same release that had the tests present, but after installing, building and trying to get them working, I found out from Jonas that they had fallen into disrepair and no longer worked ... so they had been removed from the release tarball for that reason. So, I tried again and took the 4.4.0 release snapshot from the mercurial archive that had the UML demo in it and installed that: after getting that to build successfully on fedora19, I went to run it, following the instructions carefully and setting all the variables appropriately ... but it came up in five windows each looping through the service command to start opensafd over and over as if they were autistic and not talking to each other. I thought maybe some kind of vlan was missing and ran the one from libvirt and qemu/kvm ... nothing. So, I should ask, have the UML tools also fallen into disrepair, and that's why they are not in the release tarball? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
