HLR Server

Documentation

IGI Documentation

Prerequisites

Hardware Requirements

The HLR server host should be an real or virtual host having an optimal disk access.

The suggested requirements are:

  • processor with 4 or 8 cores
  • 8GB RAM or better 16GB
  • minimum 200 GB of space for a first level HLR. (check your database actual dimension)

If you will use a virtual host ensure you are not using virtio to access to the mysql storage DB. Please use a physic partition.

Check the FQDN hostname

Ensure that the hostnames of your machines are correctly set. Run the command:

hostname -f

Disabling SELinux

Please remember to fully disabling SELinux. Disabling will completely disable all SELinux functions including file and process labelling. In RedHat Enterprise, edit /etc/selinux/config and change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled:
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled

Repository Settings

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  • If present remember to disable the dag.repo if it is enabled.
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
mv dag.repo dag.repo.disabled

Get the repos file:

You have to download the correct repository file for HLR Server. EPEL, and EMI repos has default and IGI-EMI repo.
cd /root
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
wget http://emisoft.web.cern.ch/emisoft/dist/EMI/2/sl5/x86_64/base/emi-release-2.0.0-1.sl5.noarch.rpm

wget http://repo-pd.italiangrid.it/mrepo/repos/egi-trustanchors.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/egi-trustanchors.repo
