Re: [Oscar-users] RHEL 3 updates and OSCAR 4.1

2005-08-10 Thread Giles Lesser
Hi Richard I have just been through this myself. In my case I installed an older version of RHEL3 (update 1? - how do you tell?) from CDs that came with a computer a couple of years ago. I then installed OSCAR 4.1 (and had to solve a whole bunch of missing .rpm problems by downloading them fro

Many thanks Bernard and Fernando Two things: 1) The reason I thought I needed a second oscar image is that half my nodes now have IDE drives and the other half SATA (=SCSI?). Doesn't this mean they will need different partition tables and /etc/fstab files at a minimum? I realise that I don't need

Hi All Here's the problem: I had a happily running OSCAR (v4.1 on RHEL3) cluster based on Dell Precision 470 machines with IDE drives. I went and bought some new (additional) nodes but IDE wasn't an option any longer, so I got SATA drives instead. The new boxes also seem to have come with an upda

[Oscar-users] Recommended procedure for updating system files on computational nodes

2005-06-27 Thread Giles Lesser
Hi All I know that this has been discussed before, but I searched the archives of this forum, and the answer is still not clear to me. Could someone please explain to me (in simple step by step instructions) how I should update system files on my computational nodes. For example: I am runnin

ly necessary to do this even after you have changed the pfilter settings (or turn it off)?  Just wondering.   Thanks!   Bernard From: Giles Lesser [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 16:49 To: Bernard Li; oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] R

Hi Bernard Thanks for your help with this. The problem is now solved, but I thought I would post what I found for others benefit. There were a number of problems that had to be solved: 1) As you suggested, the ntp.conf file on the headnode had to be modified to include the line restrict 192.168.1

ilter stop.   Pfilter should allow ntpd traffic to go through, though.   You may try to leave it for a little while and then come back and start up ntpd again on the compute node, to see if it comes up then.  I can do a test to see if I can re-produce this issue.   Cheers,   Bernard From: Giles Lesse

[Oscar-users] Using MPICH on SMP nodes

Hi all. Many thanks for your help with my previous posts. I am now running MPICH_p4 on dual-processor (Oscar) cluster nodes and would like to take advantage of message passing by shared memory when possible. I have re-compiled MPICH and specified the --with-comm=shared flag and re-installed MPI

I know I'm covering old ground, but after lots of searching I still can't figure it out I am trying to use IFC v7.1 to compile a fortran90 program to run under MPICH on an OSCAR cluster and I get the (in)famous pi3.o(.text+0x1b): In function `main': : undefined reference to `mpi_init_' pi3.
