Hi Benoit: > i'm giong to upgrade my cluster to oscar v4 today.
OSCAR 4.1 was released last week, I haven't had a chance to write up the announcements yet, but it will be up soon. You can check our webpage for updated info about it. > i have one more question: > How do i install new package on all node? If you are talking about OSCAR packages, then you can install them via the Install/Uninstall Package button in the wizard. > in fact i want to install biological software like blast or > mpiblast;, hmmer and some of other package like them. > but i have no idea of the step i have to do.... > do i have to make a image with it and reinstall all node or > can a make an update by rsync or something like that? do we > have a install package interface for software like this? Once you have built your cluster, it is actually pretty easy to install additional software. If they are RPMs, then it is just a matter of installing them on the nodes: cexec rpm -ivh program.rpm and also on the image: cp program.rpm /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/tmp chroot /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage rpm -ivh /tmp/program.rpm exit And you're done. If the program needs to be compiled, the principle is the same, you just need to copy the files to both the image and the nodes. Of course, if you have not deployed your cluster yet, all you need to do is install things on the image prior to node deployment.
