Hi Olivier, DongInn,
Thank you for your time dedicated to build a new repo. It looks OK now for the
repository, yum is happy again :) .
After adding epel to my list of yum repositories and after installing some
dependencies,
I succeeded in installing oscar-base package.
I have been stopped again at stage
"oscar-config -bootstrap"
It appears that oscar-config is trying to get an URL for a centos-6-x86_64
repository even if I performed just before a
"oscar-config --setup-distro centos-5-x86_64" (see below).
I am trying to see if I can find by myself what file is generating this issue.
Concerning systemimager I see there are already some packages into the CentOS 5
repo. Olivier, they must be
the old packes you wrote about in you previous posts.
Just another question for you. Assuming we do not succeed in making work OSCAR
for CentOS 5.9, the only option
is to use OSCAR for CentOS 6. This version is for now stamped as "unstable". I
am not sure if "unstable" means
"not tested at all" or "not thoroughly tested"?
I suppose that the packages inside are "stable" but we could experience some
minor issues while creating the image
and installing the first nodes, is that true?
Please do not misunderstand me (do not take it wrong), I am trying just to make
sure we will not discover issues
later in production (with the scheduler for instance), once the cluster is
installed and users are executing their application.
I know you did a wonderful job as it is the third time I am using OSCAR to
build a cluster and I was very happy with it.
Kind Regards,
Costel SEITAN

Subject: [Oscar-users] RE : Cent OS 5.9 or CentOS 6
Hi Costel,
I've finaly built most packages for CentOS-5.9, unfortunately, not all packages
are able to build (openmpi, lam and maybe a few others). This is due to the
fact that oscar-6.1.0 was vuilt with some packages that only exist in trunk (no
tagged releases) and thus evolved in version that is now incompatible with
CentOS-5.9
But the main packages are here IMHO. Note htat they are untested though.
I'm currently uploadeing a new repos.
CentOS-5.9 is "almost dead" as it entered in the minimal support phase (only
critical bug fixes, no packages upgrade).
IMHO, I would go for CentOS-6.3 if possible, but I understand your position.
More over, currently systemimager svn is broken (but I should be able to find a
systemimager src.rpm that builds and works though).
Note that my build system has the epel (good) and rpmforge (bad) repositories
enabled. rpmforge sometimes upgrades system packages in version. If you
encounter some dependancies problem on the rpms I've built, please, try to
enable epel, retest and in last resort, enable rpmforge. It should install. (I
didn't say it should work as I didn't test)
I've seen some messages about md5 issues, are they on the rhel-5-x86_64 repos?
(or are you trying to install rhel-6-x86_64 packages on CentOS-5.9?) Installing
rhel-6-x86_64 packages on CentOS-5.9 will fail for most binary packages because
of bad dependancies regarding /usr/lib64/*.so.* versions that will differs.
I hope my message can be of any help to you.
PS: updated temp repo
http://olivier.lahaye1.free.fr/OSCAR/repos/6.1.0/rhel-5-x86_64/ (real repo
here: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/6.1.0/rhel-5-x86_64/)
PPS: still need to build a systemimager rpms suite.....
Best regards.

Objet : [Oscar-users] Cent OS 5.9 or CentOS 6
Hello,
I received the digest from yesterday and I noticed that I missed some of your
messages. Sorry for this.
After I read all new messages I am still unsure of what to do next. I believe I
need to explain a little bit my current situation.
I already installed a new master node with Cent OS 5.9 in production and
already did some work (built MPICH, my application, configured, tested with
users).
Using another version means at least to do again all this work.
At the time we took the decision to go for CentOS 5.9 , the OSCAR 6.1 was not
yet built for CentOS 6 or it was just successfully built. OSCAR for CentOS 5
was already there for years and as we are somehow afraid to use unstable
versions in production, I decided to go for this version.
Now I have the choice to either:
1. Upgrade my master to CentOS 6, meaning doing again all the work
already done.
2. Use the last version built by Olivier for CentOS 5 but I understand
there could be some missing packages (knowing that what I used with my previous
version was: SIS, SGE, Ganglia, C3, switcher .. I built MPICH myself)
3. Hopefully have access to the stable version for CentOS 5 if the
repository at http://bison.csm.ornl.gov/repos/rhel-5-x86_64 is successfully
recovered
To be honest I prefer the 3rd solution for several reasons:
-Not to do all the work done onto the new master
-To benefit from my experience with RedHat 5.7 and OSCAR 6.1.1 used last time
-To benefit from a stable version used for years
I saw Olivier you already asked for the repository for CentOS 5 x86_64 to be
restored. Do you believe there is a chance to have it back online during the
next 2-3 days? Do you have a backup of that repository?
Kind Regards,
Costel SEITAN
