Re: xcat?
Many VCL installations (vcl.apache.org) use xCAT for their "bare metal" loads. --henry schaffer On Saturday, September 1, 2012, Thang Pham wrote: > > The main xCAT site is at > http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Main_Page . > There are two tarballs required for xCAT: xcat-core > ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/xcat/2.7.x_Linux/xcat-core-2.7.4.tar.bz2 ) > and the latest xcat-dep ( > http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/xcat-dep/2.x_Linux/).

Re: xcat?
The main xCAT site is at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Main_Page . There are two tarballs required for xCAT: xcat-core (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/xcat/2.7.x_Linux/xcat-core-2.7.4.tar.bz2) and the latest xcat-dep ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/xcat-dep/2.x_Linux/). Once you obtain those packages, these instructions should show you how to install xCAT: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_zVM#Installation_of_xCAT . xCAT requires SMAPI and DirMaint, so those need to be installed in order for xCAT to fully work. The documentation for those installations are on the same website. xCAT is written in Perl, so there are no source packages. - Thang Pham IBM Poughkeepsie From: Mark Post To: LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu, Date: 09/01/2012 11:53 AM Subject:Re: xcat?
