IGI (based on EMI) Installation and Configuration
Installation
OS installation
Install SL5 using
SL5.X repository (CERN mirror) or one of the supported
OS (RHEL5 clones).
You may find information on official repositories at
Repositories for APT and YUM If you want to set up a local installation server please refer to
Mrepo Quick Guide
NOTE: Please check if
NTP
,
cron
and
logrotate
are installed, otherwise install them!
Check the FQDN hostname
Ensure that the hostnames of your machines are correctly set. Run the command:
hostname -f
It should print the fully qualified domain name (e.g.
prod-ce.mydomain.it
). Correct your network configuration if it prints only the hostname without the domain. If you are installing WN on private network the command must return the external FQDN for the CE and the SE (e.g.
prod-ce.mydomain.it
) and the internal FQDN for the WNs (e.g.
node001.myintdomain
).
Repository Settings
To have more details to the repository have a look to the this link
Repository Specifications
If not present by default on your SL5/x86_64 nodes, you should enable the EPEL repository (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL)
EPEL has an 'epel-release' package that includes gpg keys for package signing and repository information. Installing this package,
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm, should allow you to use normal tools such as yum to install packages and their dependencies. By default the stable EPEL repo is enabled. Example of
epel.repo file:
[extras]
name=epel
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch
protect=0
IMPORTANT NOTE
If present remember to disable the dag.repo if it is enabled.
You need to have enabled only the above repositories (Operating System, EPEL, Certification Authority, EMI):
