Subject: Re: [Oscar-devel] SSI-OSCAR + Kernel Picker
Hi,
I've written the specifications for KernelPicker on the
trac wiki :
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/KernelPicker
This
include a few new tables for ODA and some methods more. On the
outline, I put
these new methods into new classes but in the current
ODA, all methods
belongs to the same big class. Maybe it is better to
keep the current way
even if this class is becoming bigger and bigger ?
Maybe somethings
things can miss but it may be enough to figure out the
way I see
KernelPicker. IMO, a complete rewrite is necessary, because
the current
version does not interface with any of the OSCAR components
: Packman, ODA,
or SIS.
I have time to spend on it. Our goal is to have a new SSI-OSCAR
version
based on Kerrighed as soon as the latter is released. That should
be
done in a few weeks but we don't know exactly when. For SSI-OSCAR to
be
useful, it seems that KernelPicker should be fully functionnal, as
I
described it into the wiki :
- support bootparams management for each
node
- select kernel package selection through capacities (SMP, SSI...)
and
using PackMan
- support kernel deployment with PXE or in local
(through
SystemInstaller as it does the whole job, and quite well : can
you
confirm ?).
So, when do you plan OSCAR 5 to be ready ? I can
help to make
KernelPicker ready for OSCAR 5. The idea is to make SSI-OSCAR a
simple
package for OSCAR and not a package plus a hack. I think this can
be
done only if KernelPicker is ready, isn't it
?
Regards,
Jean

What other requirements do you need? ODA...?
