All, I just put a fresh install of CENTOS 5.4 x86_64 on a head node and went through the installation and setup of OSCAR 6.1.1svn06022011 on the head node.
Several issues: 1) During the "Select OSCAR Packages To Install", I had to select "Experimental" to get most of the desired packages (TORQUE, MPI, etc.). "Default" only had the Core: base, c3, oda, sc3, sis, switcher, sync-files, and yum (ganglia, opium, and selinux were "Included", but not checked). What is the issue here? 2) It was very, very slow to build the Client Image. What could be going wrong? (I have used previous versions of OSCAR and this build took probably 5 to 6 times longer.) We have a fast gigabit connection. Typical yum updates download with at least 1 MB/sec. 3) The worst of it, the cluster deployment fails during the imaging of the compute nodes (with the "Have fun! http://systemimager.org"; message). I tried UYOK and that imaging also failed. I have two sets of compute nodes (one older set and one newer set). The hardware of the newer set of compute nodes is very similar to the hardware on the head node, except for the hard drives (RAID on head node, one drive SAS on compute nodes). I might have expected some issues with the slightly older hardware, but not with the newer hardware (that is very similar to head node). I have previously set up these two sets of hardware with older versions of OSCAR (the older hardware with OSCAR 4.2 and the newer with OSCAR 5.1rc), but I wanted to unify them under one head node with the new version of OSCAR. I don't want to resort to going back to try OSCAR 5.1rc, but I might have to do so. Any advice on getting this to work? It has probably some simple fix. If you want the log file, a slightly trimmed version is at http://pastebin.com/KvfqY0ww 4) What is the bare-bones list of RPMs to get OSCAR 6.1.1 and CENTOS 5.4 to work on compute nodes. Thank you in advance for the help.
