[Oscar-users] adding/sincronizing perl library. Best way to do it?

[Salvatore Di Nardo]

Actually i have a Oscar4 ( with FC2) test cluster with a few nodes, and i got a problem:

I need to add bioperl library to all nodes, so i was considering whats the most efficient way to sync perl library to all nodes.

First option may be compile this library and then use cexec to run "make install" on all nodes. but imho it's not a good option because u will loose those library if u netboot/reinstall a node.

Another option may be to mount NFS /usr/lib/perl5 from master to all nodes. (imho far better)

Another option i see may be to add a library on masternode and then sync local library with image builded in /var/lib/systemimager/images/<your_image_build>/usr/lib/perl5. Then netboot all nodes.

Imho second option seems the best, but its more a trick than a Oscar feature, and since i'm a Oscar noob i preffer have a feedback if there is a simplier/better way to sync libraries and nodes.

tnx in advance
