SL4 x86 64 WNs

SL4 x86_64 on WNs

Setup

Setup a sufficient compatible environment for the nodes. Using the packages from GRIF is ok.

CMS soft

XCMSI

set VO_CMS_SW_DIR if not done already!!
don't source init.sh from the apt installation! it works with normal rpm.
export SCRAM_ARCH=slc3_ia32_gcc323
- i only needed to add a compat-glibc package
modify cmsarch.pl: add

 $arch{"Scientific Linux CERN SLC release 4.3 (Beryllium)"} =
   [ "slc3_ia32_gcc323", "" , "" ];

generate the default cmsset_default.sh files.

 rm -f cmsset_default.sh cmsset_default.csh
 ./cmsi.pl -c default -a slc3_ia32_gcc323 -f cmsset_default.sh;./cmsi.pl -c default -a slc3_ia32_gcc323 -f cmsset_default.csh

cmsi will install it's own scram version and this will use it's own perl libraries to run, BUT it makes use of the default @INC to construct a path for the included perl modules. Although it generates the necessay links to the architectures (i386-linux-thread-multi <= x86_64-linux-thread-multi), but ofcourse it doesn't symlink the default lib to lib64 path. fix this before anything is installed with (it's probably not needed for V0_20_0 and V1_0_0)

 for i in V1_0_2 V1_0_1 V1_0_0 V0_20_0
 do
   dirr=$VO_CMS_SW_DIR/Releases/SCRAM/$i/Installation/TT2
   mkdir -p $dirr/lib
   cd $dirr
   ln -s lib lib64
   cd -
 done

first installation

  ./cmsi.pl -a slc3_ia32_gcc323 -f cmsset_default.sh -d ORCA_8_7_5

updating/adding installation

 ./cmsi.pl -a slc3_ia32_gcc323 -f cmsset_default.sh -u -d CMSSW_0_6_1

to manually install another scram version, from XCMSI/RPMS

 rpm -Uhv  --dbpath /swmgrs/cmss/rpmdb --prefix /swmgrs/cmss SCRAM_V1_0_2-shared-4.i386.rpm SCRAM_V0_20_0-shared-4.i386.rpm

aptinstaller: SL3 prep procedure

Nothing actually prevents one to install a complete SL3 distro on the CMS path. Given the huge size of the cms software, nobody will notice.

set VO_CMS_SW_DIR
get the follwoing rpms from sl3 (examples from slc305)

  apt-0.5.15cnc6-8.SL.cern.i386.rpm
  popt-1.8.2-21_nonptl.i386.rpm
  rpm-4.2.3-21_nonptl.i386.rpm 
  rpm-build-4.2.3-21_nonptl.i386.rpm
  rpmdb-SL-305-0.20050601.i386.rpm
  rpm-libs-4.2.3-21_nonptl.i386.rpm
  curl-7.10.6-6.rhel3.i386.rpm

- the curl rpm is needed because i couldn't find the needed compat version for curl.so.2 (symlink might have fixed that, but this is way more powerful.)
make new directory

  mkdir -p $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/var/lib/rpm

install rpm rpmdb

  rpm --define "_rpmlock_path $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/var/lib/rpm/lock" --root $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3 --dbpath $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/var/lib/rpm/ --relocate /=$VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3 -Uvh --nodeps

- if you keep having SElinux trouble (errors with lsetfilecon message), try with --nocontexts switch
install other rpms with same command
- ignore errors like

  /sbin/ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied
  error: %post(apt-0.5.15cnc6-8.SL.cern.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

copy the following files:

  cp $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/usr/lib/rpm/macros ~/.rpmmacros
  cp $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.2.3 ~/.popt

create an init.sh script file (maybe later cat >> ~/.bashrc??)

  #!/bin/sh
  if [ -z $VO_CMS_SW_DIR ]
  then
    echo "VO_CMS_SW_DIR not set. Exiting..."
    exit 1
  fi
  if [ -z $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ];
  then
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/usr/lib
  else
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  fi
  export PATH=$VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/bin:$VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl3/usr/bin:$PATH
  export SCRAM_ARCH=slc3_ia32_gcc323
  export BUILD_ARCH=slc3_ia32_gcc323

source init.sh

aptinstaller

set VO_CMS_SW_DIR if not done already!!
download aptinstaller.sh here (yes, it's modified) aptinstaller.sh
run ./aptinstaller.sh setup -arch slc3_ia32_gcc323
eval $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/aptinstaller.sh config -path $VO_CMS_SW_DIR (or with -csh)
apt-get update
apt-get install ...
all cms users now need to have their environment prepared by the init.sh script.
- well, certainly the SCRAM_ARCH part. as long as the curl.so.2 is never called by one of the jobs, it'll be all ok.

SL4.4 x86_64 pre

Use correct apt version without chaningin system rpm Nothing actually prevents one to install a complete SL4 distro on the CMS path. Given the huge size of the cms software, nobody will notice.

set VO_CMS_SW_DIR

export VO_CMS_SW_DIR=$PWD

get the following rpms from sl4 (examples from sl4.4)

apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-1.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm
curl-7.12.1-8.rhel4.x86_64.rpm
libidn-0.5.6-1.x86_64.rpm
popt-1.9.1-18_nonptl.x86_64.rpm
rpm-4.3.3-18_nonptl.x86_64.rpm
rpm-build-4.3.3-18_nonptl.x86_64.rpm
rpmdb-SL-44-0.20061019.x86_64.rpm
rpm-libs-4.3.3-18_nonptl.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2.x86_64.rpm

and possibly also (but for this one the alias 'which' should be modified as it is hardcoding the path)

which-2.16-4.x86_64.rpm

you can use this script to fetch them wgetrpms.sh

make new directory

  mkdir -p $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl4/var/lib/rpm

first install rpm rpmdb

  rpm --define "_rpmlock_path $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl4/var/lib/rpm/lock" --root $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl4 --dbpath $VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl4/var/lib/rpm/ --relocate /=$VO_CMS_SW_DIR/sl4 -Uvh --nodeps
