Gfarm Installation

check the process currently running:

$netstat –tuanp

if the software has been installed, remove them:

$sudo apt-get purge XXX

refer to the normal installation guide, INSTALL.en to install dependent libraries.

Gfarm 2.5 for example:

$sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libldap2-dev libq-dev libfuse-dev postgresql postgresql-client

$./configure --with-postgresql=/usr --with-openssl=directory --prefix=/opt/gfarm --enable-xmlattr

$make

#make install

remember that: every node should be edit /etc/hosts file to specify hostname to accordingly IP address.

Config MeteData Server Node

Check the PostgreSQL is still running:

$netstat –tuanp (default port is 5432)

If yes, stop it:

# /etc/init.d/postgresql stop

config metedataserver:

# config-gfarm –p 5432 (-t : check configuration before do it truly)

Create shared secret key for Admin account in home directory(this case:/home/dodo/):

$ gfkey –f –p 31536000

Create an account for communication between server node and file node in security:

#adduser –gecos ‘Gfarm gfsd’ _gfarmfs --force-badname

(password is null)

Create a shared secret key for _gfarmfs user in home directory:

# su _gfarmfs

$ gfkey –f –p 31536000

Config File Node

Create an account for communication between server node and file node in security.

#adduser –gecos ‘Gfarm gfsd’ _gfarmfs --force-badname

(password is must)

Copy the shared secret keys for Admin account from MD Node to the same home directory in SD Node.

Copy the shared secret keys for _ gfarmfs account from MD Node to the same home directory in SD Node.

Copy the file etc/gfarm2.conf from MD Node to the same directory in SD Node.

$config-gfsd (-t for check the configuration before doing truely)

Using admin_user of GFarm on Server Node to register File Node

$su dodo

$ gfhost -c -a i386-centos3.8-linux -p 600 -n 2 kent

Then change to root user and setup gfsd service

#/etc/init.d/gfsd start

Client Node Installation and Configuration

Refer to the Installation Guide in Gfram2fs, INSTALL, and install it.

Create Directory on Every File Node and Mount It:

$mkdir CloudFS

$gfarm2fs CloudFS

 Run GFarm after system restart

MetaData Node

Stop postgresql:

/etc/init.d/postgresql stop

run gfarm database:

/etc/init.d/gfarm-pgsql start

run gfmd:

/etc/init.d/gfmd start

File Node:

          run gfsd:

          /etc/init.d/gfsd start

auto setup when booting:

    sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql stop

    sudo /etc/init.d/gfarm-pgsql start

    sudo /etc/init.d/gfmd start

    sudo /opt/gfarm2fs/bin/gfarm2fs CloudFS

    FD node

    sudo /etc/init.d/gfsd start

    sudo /opt/gfarm2fs/bin/gfarm2fs CloudFS
