Installing and configuring Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP3 client systems3–14
Note the following points:
• In kits where the gm package is provided, it must be installed even if no Myrinet interconnect is
used. The package is needed to resolve symbols in the Lustre software.
•The hpls-lustre-client package requires the openldap-clients package. The
openldap-clients package is usually part of your Linux distribution.
•The lustre package requires the python2 and python-ldap packages. The python2
package is usually part of your Linux distribution.
Copy the packages you have built to the temporary directory, as follows. In this example, the
gm-version_number.rpm package is included and is copied:
# cd /build/SFS_client_V2.2/output/rpms/ia32e
# cp kernel-smp-version_number.rpm /tmp/
# cp lustre-modules-version_number.rpm /tmp/
# cp lustre-version_number.rpm /tmp/
# cp hpls-lustre-client-version_number.rpm /tmp/
# cp gm-version_number.rpm /tmp/
If a modified version of the python-ldap package is provided for your client architecture/
distribution, copy the python-ldap package from the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share Client
Software CD-ROM to the temporary directory, as follows:
# cp python-ldap-version_number.rpm /tmp/
5. If any of the prerequisite packages are not installed, install them now—for example, ibhost-biz
(if a Voltaire InfiniBand interconnect is to be used) or openldap-clients.
Where a Voltaire InfiniBand Version 3.5.5 interconnect driver is installed, reboot the kernel after
installing the ibhost-biz-version_number.rpm file, then verify that the InfiniBand stack loads
properly, by entering the following command:
# service voltaireibhost start
If the command fails, reinstall the ibhost-biz-version_number.rpm file and then reboot the
kernel again.
Where a Voltaire InfiniBand Version 3.4.5 interconnect driver is installed, you do not need to reboot
the kernel.
6. Install the packages as shown in the following example. You must install the packages in the order
shown here (otherwise, the package manager may attempt to install the Lustre modules before the
kernel module; this would result in the Lustre modules failing to install properly).
• For RHEL client systems, install the packages as follows. In this example, the gm-
version_number.rpm package is included in the kit, and must be installed. The optional
hpls-diags-client package and the python-ldap package are also installed:
# cd /tmp
# rpm –ivh kernel-smp-version_number.rpm
# rpm –ivh gm-version_number.rpm
# rpm -ivh lustre-modules-version_number.rpm \
lustre-version_number.rpm \
python-ldap-version_number.rpm \
hpls-lustre-client-version_number.rpm \
hpls-diags-client-version_number.rpm
• For SLES 9 SP3 client systems, install the packages as follows. In this example, the optional
hpls-diags-client package and the python-ldap package are also installed. If the
kernel-smp-version_number.rpm has already been installed, omit the first command:
# cd /tmp
# rpm –ivh kernel-smp-version_number.rpm
# ln -s init.d/sfs /etc/init.d/sfs
# rpm -ivh --force --nodeps lustre-modules-version_number.rpm \
lustre-version_number.rpm \
python-ldap-version_number.rpm \
