Prepare

Operating system
Scientific Linux version 4.7 64 bit

Optimizing the configuration:


Use minimal operating system installation without firewall. To verify installed packages use the command

  • rpm -qa | grep package_name

Install the following additional packages:

  • yum -y install wget yum rpm make gcc gcc-c++ tar sed zlib openssl

After the installation is complete, turn off any unnecessary services (like gpm, sendmail, cups, haldaemon, messagebus, pcmcia, anacron, atd) with the following command:

  • chkconfig <SERVICE> off

Configure the following settings for the server:

Firewall configuration

Allowing incoming connections directed to the WNs is optional and Resource Providers can freely decide whether to permit them on a voluntary base. However, when such inbound connections are blocked, data transfers using GridFTP will be forced to work in "single-stream" mode and their performance might be accordingly degraded (how to open port in firewall).


Service Incoming ports (TCP) Change to default configuration
GridFTP 20000-25000 Yes

Please note, that in this the reference installation release we do not describe the MPI packages.

Configure

  • Mount File system (see cluster:nfs/3/client)
  • Configure torque mom
  • Configure users
  • Prepare WNs for gLite
    • The packages for the gLite middleware and OGSA-DAI will be provided by NFS server.
    • The middleware configuration for all Worker nodes is unique to any WN.
    • This require the corresponding WN performs the write rights for the configuration scripts to the directory /opt/glite-MW.
    • This directory mounts with appropriate write rights.
    • Rights configuration can be changed later, after general configuration.
    • The specific configuration can be implemented using the prepared templates on the: http://www.d-grid.de/index.php?id=132
    • The info.def, groups.conf and users.conf files are required for the WN configuration.

Note: The site-info.def have the JAVA_LOCATION which should be configured!

WARNING: The dgrid_env.sh script should be edited and the variables VOS, INSTALL_ROOT and DGRID_VO_DIRECTORY adjusted. The script ensures that only the D-Grid VOs users used the middleware environment variables.

The dgrid_env.sh is calling another script - grid_env.sh
  • Optional adjustment
    • In order to accelerate the WN configuration, the Certificates and CRLs configurations can be denied.
    • They will be executed on the gLite-CE. This require removing the following functions from the $GLITE_DIR/glite/yaim/scripts/node-info.def: install_certs_userland, config_fix_edg-fetch-crl-cron and config_crl by using the function TAR_WN_FUNCTIONS.
