Tyler, First of all, the main OSCAR page clearly says that the latest release is oscar-6.0.1 (http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/). Then, if you are referring to the "download page" then yes, it refers to oscar-5.1 for the good reason than with oscar-6.x you do not need to download a single file.
Then, i do not know where you read that the platform should _not_ have any distro installed, for what i know we never specify that at any point (if so, please point to me exactly where you read that, that must be fixed). I had a look at chapter 3, i did not see but i may have missed it. Finally, you give a lot of details about what you did, which is very good. But did you actually install OSCAR, using "yum install oscar" as specified there: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/InstallGuidePreparing ? Thanks for pointing the problem about "The oscar-config --bootstrap command, substitute the device name (e.g., eth1) in place of <device> for your server’s private network ethernet adapter." This is now fixed. Anyway, i fixed different problems in the documentation, let me know if there are still points you do not understand.

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. -tyler ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Oscar-users mailing list Oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Oscar-users mailing list Oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users
