These instructions are specific for (re)installing the current generation of flxb01 to flxb16 using the Atipa dual node but may be used as a basis for installing new fnalu linux batch nodes if necessary. The 7.1 FnaluBatch workgroup should automatically do most of the necessary installation and configuration and the icabod config should take care of the rest. The install plan is therefore: All the config files and scripts can be found in: ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/711/i386/Fermi/workgroups/FnaluBatch/ Pre-Install ----------- 1) Mark the node down in NGOP 2) Verify that the keytab file and ssh keys on fsun02 are up to date 3) Close the lsf queues on the hosts at least 12hrs before the planned downtime 4) use xlsadmin to change the resource for the nodes from linux22 to linux24 Install ------- 5) Copy on the fermi-install rpm and the correct reduced kickstart file into /etc/FnaluBatch/configfiles (or create linux install boot disks with makeburninfloppies) 6) Run the batch_reinstall.sh script (or reboot off your install floppy) Post-Install ------------ 7) Log in on the console: 8) From the console server run icabod with the config.flxb.711.old.exp expect script 9) Add the following line to /etc/csh.cshrc to correct the "locale collate" problem with the UPS version of tcsh setenv LC_COLLATE C 10) Reboot the machine Testing ------- 11) /sbin/chkconfig --list check that the list of processes is as expected. ypwhich ypcat passwd ypcat auto.master 12) Login with kerberized telnet, ssh and rsh 13) Check that the nodes are ok from bhosts 14) Submit test jobs to the nodes: bsub -R hostname sleep 60
