Tyler,
I see now the confusing paragraph in the chapter 3 (the first one actually, i
do not know how i missed it). I am currently updating that, it will be fixed in
a moment.
Thanks for your feedback, and again if you see any other issue, please let us
know.
Regards,

Objet: [Oscar-users] Missing oscar config file
Hello All.
I think there might be some confusion with the hows and the whats of
OSCAR installation. I have an installed working version of OSCAR 5 or 4
that I assembled a couple of years ago. I am back to put together a new
cluster with new x86_64 preloaded with Redhat WS/EL 5.2 machines, but am
running into confusion.
First, the OSCAR main page provides OSCAR5.1 as the latest download.
Then, to learn how to install this version, you can go to the Support
page and read the install guide which immediately talks about version
6.0.1. This is the first confusion. For me this was significant
because for OSCAR 5.0 and earlier you had to gather up all these RPMs,
go find the ones you were missing, and create a repo directory on the
local machine. Now, the newer versions dont install this way.
I tried to install OSCAR 5.1 using this old method but that failed.
Then, I found out that OSCAR 6+ was out and everyone seemed to be using
that. I found in the install guide that v.6+ can be installed using the
yum.conf file (chapter 3). So my next confusion came when I read in
chapter 1 of the install guide that a supported copy of Linux was
required to install OSCAR. OK, good, but in chapter 3.1 the guide
implies that the remainder of chapter 3 is only for machines w/o Linux
installed. If Linux is installed move on to chapter 5. Chapter 5
instructs for an immediate:
1. Execute as root oscar-config --bootstrap
2. Execute as root system-sanity and make sure you address all the
reported issues
3. Execute as root oscar_wizard install
but OSCAR was never actually collected from the on-line OSCAR
repositories because users with Linux already installed were instructed
to go to Chapter 5.
Finally, the second paragraph of chapter 5.1 says this: "The
oscar-config --bootstrap command, substitute the device name (e.g.,
eth1) in place of <device> for your server’s private network ethernet
adapter." The confusion here is that we just ran #>oscar-config
--bootstrap, but it said nothing about providing the eth as an argument.
I've tried it all skipping chap 3 and going through the steps outlined
in chap 3, but still have errors. First, I am not creating a
/etc/oscar/oscar.conf file and when I do a #>oscar-config --bootstrap I
get:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: impossible to find the oscar configuration file at
/usr/bin/oscar-config line 93
ERROR: Impossible to complete stage 0 of the bootstrap. at
/usr/bin/oscar-config line 95
main::bootstrap() called at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 333
ERROR: Impossible to bootstrap OSCAR at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 334.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm really not sure what to do at this point or what the correct way to
install oscar V6+ is? Thanks for any
help on this.
