Scali OS prerequisites
------------------------

Before installing the Scali software you should install and
configure your operating system with the following in mind:

- From the node you install from have root rsh acces to
all other nodes. Please do the following steps on every node:
- Insert the frontend name into the $HOME/.rhosts
as root.

- Have a working 'at' daemon (atd) running on all nodes.

- Have a common file system for MPI applications.
Usually this means mounting /home/* to a common NFS server.

- We recommend using NIS on the cluster to ease management.
Here is a short description of how to enable it:
Linux:
NIS master (usually the frontend):
- set NIS domainname, run # nisdomainname
- edit /etc/yp.conf
- edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
- edit /var/yp/securenets
- run # sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypserv start
- cd to /var/yp and run # make
- run # sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind start
NIS clients (all other nodes):
- run # authconfig
and specify NIS domainname and request server via broadcast.
SunOS/Solaris:
NIS master (usually the frontend):
- set NIS domainname, run # domainname
- be sure to have these files under /etc:
timezone
netgroup
bootparams
OR
edit /var/yp/Makefile to not use these maps.
- run # ypinit -m
- edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
- edit /var/yp/securenets
- run # /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstop
- run # /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart
NIS clients (all other nodes):
- set NIS domainname, run # domainname
- run # ypinit -c
- run # /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstop
- run # /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart

- Under Linux you have to install the bigphysarea patch to the
kernel and recompile it on one node and install it on every
other node (presuming the nodes are identical).
You also have to enable SMP support.
Please complete the following steps:
- Choose one node as the kernel compilation node
- Install the kernel-sources (from the Linux distribution CD)
- Install the ScaOSbigm package under ./pkg/Linux2.i86pc/ScaOSbigm.*
# rpm -ivh ./pkg/Linux2.i86pc/ScaOSbigm.*
- Run the script:
# ./bin/Linux/compilekernel
This script will do all the neccesary steps to compile and install
the kernel on this node
- You should then copy the tar file (under /tmp) to all the other nodes
- Untar the file under / on all nodes
- Run # /sbin/lilo on all nodes
- Reboot all nodes before starting the installation
