Installing a worker node (wntest00)

Note: We had no luck with the 64bit yum install, despite the fact that all out worker nodes are 64 bit.

  1. Comment out gpgcheck=1 in yum.conf.
  2. Copy the (additional) repos from ce01.
  3. Get the glite-WN.repo:
    wget http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/glite/repos/glite-WN.repo
  4. yum install lcg-CA
  5. tar up the siteinfo.def directory on ce01 and dump it at the same place as before (i.e. in /opt/glite/yaim/).
  6. Find the SGE rpms for worker nodes in the generic install guide and install them:
    rpm -ivh sge-parallel-V61u3-1.i386.rpm sge-V61u3-1.i386.rpm sge-utils-V61u3-1.i386.rpm sge-docs-V61u3-1.i386.rpm sge-daemons-V61u3-1.i386.rpm
  7. yum install glite-WN
  8. SGE client yaim interface:
    rpm -ivh http://eticssoft.web.cern.ch/eticssoft/repository/org.glite/org.glite.yaim.sge-client/4.0.1/noarch/glite-yaim-sge-client-4.0.1-4.noarch.rpm
  9. Run yaim:
    /opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -c -s site-info-ce01.def -n WN -n SGE_client
  10. Bed time reading: The SGE manuals.
