All,

I am still having no luck at getting the SLES.pm file to be a successful identifier for OSCAR 5.0 + SLES10. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.

This is output from my head node:

elmo:/opt/oscar # ./install_cluster eth2

Hi Chris:

$distro and $compat_distro should be "sles".

The $release_string string comparison should match "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server " without the number (so that we can support future releases).

Try the above modifications and let us know if it works. Also, next time it would help if you increase the verbosity by doing:

export OSCAR_VERBOSE=2

and then sending the error message when you run install_cluster - it would help us troubleshoot your problem much easier.

Then you need to create distro directories distro/sles10-x86_64 for each package and re-compile the RPMs. You will likely run into problems with Ganglia, since 3.0.3 will not work with SUSE x86_64, but 3.0.4 (which should be out soon) should address that.

Cheers,

Bernard

All,

For SLES10 on EM64T, I am having trouble getting the installer to recognize the OS as valid; I am sure my $release_string is probably incorrect, however I am not sure how to fix it, I’m sure it’s a simple fix, yet it still eludes me. I have attached the SLES.pm file and my SuSE-release file.

Thanks for any help,

Hi Chris:

What you probably want to do is make a copy of SuSE.pm and call it SLES.pm, and modify the $release_string to match whatever it is on SLES10. After that it is simply a matter rebuilding a bunch of packages (RPMs) under SLES10 and creating SLES-specific distro directories for packages (eg. packages/sge/distro/sles10).

I'm not sure how similiar SLES10 is with SUSE Linux 10, but if they are similiar enough, perhaps you can even make "sles" a compat_distro of "suse" (hopefully Erich can provide some insight regarding this).

I would suggest that you use oscar-5.0 instead of 5.1 because 5.0 is more stable and will be released "soon". 5.1 does have the added features of the CLI and system-sanity framework though.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Thanks,

Bernard

All,

I am working on SLES10 + oscar-5.1a1r5332-20060905, and I am trying to get Oscar to recognize SLES10 as an actual viable OS (versus SuSE), I believe I need to modify the perl module: /opt/oscar/lib/OSCAR/OCA/OS_Detect/SuSE.pm but am unsure how to make this work correctly, any thoughts?

System:

OS: SLES10

Oscar: oscar-5.1a1r5332-20060905

Dual processor Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz EM64T system

Goal: Functional oscar framework on SLES10.

Thanks in advance!
