=== Build CMS libxml2+libxslt+clientform+mechanize rpms ===
*Goal is to build for slc4_ia32_gcc345 arch
*Setup i386 SLC4 box
*install pyvault 24 python
**verify that python 2.4 is new default
*get libxml2 and libxslt sources from xmlsoft.org
*copy to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
*untar and copy the spec file in the tarball
**rename the release to 1.py24
*run rpmbuild -bb on the libxml2 spce file and install the rpms
*repeat with libxslt spec file, no need to install
*for cleintform and mechanize, i used fc8 src rpms
**download fc8 src rpms for python-setuptools, python-mechanize and pthon-clientform
**run rpm -i on the src rpms
**go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
**rpmbuild -bb python-setuptools.spec
**rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/python-setuptools-*
**rpmbuild -bb python-clientform.spec
**rpmbuild -bb python-mechanize.spec
*copy the rpms from /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 and /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/ to wherever you need them

=== kernel and anaconda patching ===
*Use this guide to
**add new hardware modules
**add xfs support
*[[PXEboot_patch| The steps needed to add modules/unsupported hardware to a pxelinux kernel/initrd]]
*[[AnacondaPatch| The steps needed to add features to anaconda]]

=== CB - client ===
You are advised to use the apt approach for sl3 and yum for sl4, but very probably everything works here.
==== APT - SL3 ====
*Now meta-package for the CB-client installation. It installs all aii things + everything needed for panc and svncheck.
**SL3
<pre>
echo "rpm http://mon.iihe.ac.be/ begrid/install/apt cb-v3_i386_sl3 quattor_i386_sl3" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cb-v3-sl3.list
</pre>
**SL4
<pre>
echo "rpm http://mon.iihe.ac.be/ begrid/install/apt cb-v3_i386_sl4 quattor_i386_sl4" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cb-v3-sl4.list
</pre>
**then do
<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get install cb-client
</pre>
**if it seems not to work, check the priorities of current repositories. eg on slc308 you will need to edit <tt>/etc/apt/preferences</tt> to give a higher priority to packages from mon.iihe.ac.be
<pre>
Package: *
Pin: release o=linux.cern.ch
Pin-Priority: 980

Package: *
Pin: origin mon.iihe.ac.be
Pin-Priority: 985
</pre>

==== YUM - SL4 ====
*EL3-type:
<pre>
echo '[cb-v3]' >> /etc/yum.conf
echo 'name=CB server - client repo - SL3' >> /etc/yum.conf
echo 'baseurl=http://mon.iihe.ac.be/begrid/install/apt/RPMS.cb-v3_i386_sl3/' >> /etc/yum.conf

echo '[quattor]' >> /etc/yum.conf
echo 'name=Quattor repo - SL3' >> /etc/yum.conf
echo 'baseurl=http://mon.iihe.ac.be/begrid/install/apt/RPMS.quattor_i386_sl3/' >> /etc/yum.conf
</pre>
*EL4-type:
<pre>
echo '[cb-v3]' > /etc/yum.repos.d/cb-v3-sl4.repo
echo 'name=CB server - client repo - SL4' >> /etc/yum.repos.d/cb-v3-sl4.repo
echo 'baseurl=http://mon.iihe.ac.be/begrid/install/apt/RPMS.cb-v3_i386_sl4/' >> /etc/yum.repos.d/cb-v3-sl4.repo

echo '[quattor]' >> /etc/yum.repos.d/cb-v3-sl4.repo
echo 'name=Quattor repo - SL4' >> /etc/yum.repos.d/cb-v3-sl4.repo
echo 'baseurl=http://mon.iihe.ac.be/begrid/install/apt/RPMS.quattor_i386_sl4/' >> /etc/yum.repos.d/cb-v3-sl4.repo
</pre>
*yum install cb-client
**it's possible that this doesn't work out of the box. as there is no priority plugin for yum by default, some manual need to be done. for slc43 eg you need to do
<pre>
yum install swig compat-libstdc++-33 dhcp
yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=quattor --enablerepo=cb-v3 install cb-client
</pre>

==== Post installation ====
*for old reasons, the cb-v3 templates require that panc is known as panc6. this can be easily switched off, but still is the case. just do
<pre>
ln -s /usr/bin/panc /usr/bin/panc6
panc6 -v
</pre>
*the installation of tftp and aii-server can cause some configuration file problems. be sure to check them after installation
<pre>
12:aii-server ########################################### [ 48%]
File /etc/xinetd.d/tftp already exists, I will not overwrite it
You may want to check it against /usr/share/doc/aii-1.0.43/eg/tftp.example
</pre>
*[http://mon.iihe.ac.be/begrid/install/cb-v3-client.tar.gz client tarball]

=== CB server ===
==== APT ====
*Howto create apt-repo:
**make directory apt/RPMS.<something>
**genbasedir <FULL_PATH>/to/apt something
**this creates a apt/base directory with the pkglists etc.
**if the apt dir is reachable through http://machine/path/to/apt, you need
<pre>
echo "rpm http://machine/path/to/apt something" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/something.list
</pre>
*Howto generate metarpms:
**edit specfile file.spec
**rpmbuild -bb file.spec
**eg of file.spec:

**Sat Mar 18 2006 <Stijn.De.Weirdt@cern.ch>
- initial try
</pre>
**create yum repo:
**in el3-type: creates ''headers'' directory, needs python-rpm (version must matchs: 2.2!!)
**in el4-type: creates ''repodata'': get createrepo from here http://linux.duke.edu/projects/metadata/generate/ and build it
<pre>
yum-arch /path/to/rpms
createrepo /path/to/rpms
</pre>
*everything: (eg EL3)
<pre>
echo '[cb-all]' >> /etc/yum.conf
echo 'name=CB server - full swrep repo' >> /etc/yum.conf
echo 'baseurl=http://gridtst.iihe.ac.be/begrid/install/apt/RPMS.swrep-i386_sl3/' >> /etc/yum.conf
</pre>
=== SINDES remarks ===
*in ca.config:
<pre>
[ req_distinguished_name ]
O = IIHE
OU = GRID
CN = q3.iihe.ac.be CA
</pre>
*direct route to sindes server (ie the DN in the apache.crt) is needed
**extra line in aii
**hard route config in wn-profiles
*logfiles in /var/log/httpd and /var/log/sindes
*use ca_dir instead of ca_file (in AII, ccm.conf and aii-shellfe.conf)
*add a "--use_fqdn " to aii-installack.cgi
*aii-installack.cgi also needs a direct route to the cgi-server.
*if you restart the httpd on LS4, you might get
<pre>
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 25 of
/etc/httpd/conf.d/sindes-ssl.conf:
SSLCARevocationFile: file '/var/sindes/crl.pem' does not exist or is empty
[FAILED]
</pre>
This is SElinux doing its thing. You can switch off SElinux by adding <tt>selinux=0</tt> to the kernel boot entry in grub and restart the machine.
=== VMware Server ===
*file nvram contains bios settings. create a good one: during booting, press F2, modify things (like boot order etc etc). then copy around
*hardware macaddresses:
**possible range is fixed: 00:50:56, 3c:: is maximum
**use eg
<pre>
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "4"
scsi0.present = "TRUE"
memsize = "700"
scsi0:0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0:0.fileName = "Red Hat Linux.vmdk"
ide1:0.present = "FALSE"
ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"
floppy0.fileName = "A:"
Ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
displayName = "Red Hat Linux"
guestOS = "redhat"
priority.grabbed = "normal"

</pre>
*the linux network driver is pcnet32
*open port 902 in the windows firewall for 1 host. now you can use vmware server console for connections.
*start for lowest priority http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/start.mspx?mfr=true

*[[QuattorOpenSolaris]]

=== pxeboot freedos ===
*see http://aipc54.ai.wu-wien.ac.at/cgi-bin/blosxom/2006/07/19
<pre>
You have to get the proper freedos disk-image

wget http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/old/beta9sr2/fdos1440.img

make a new pxelinux.cfg/hostname

default freedos

label freedos
KERNEL memdisk
append initrd=fdos1440.img

with "memdisk" being the file from the syslinux package. Next, I will try with the mtools-package to enable automatic bios flashing via command.com
