- Package contents
- .LP
- The installation CD contains software for both grid client and the server (scheduler),
- in separate directories in the root directory of the CD:
- .B client
- and
- .B server .
- .NH 1
- Client software
- .LP
- The grid client software will be installed on Windows NT4/2000/XP machines,
- in the directory (folder)
- .CW C:\eVNClient .
- .IP 1.
- On a Windows machine with the CD loaded,
- use Windows Explorer (or equivalent) to move to the directory named
- .CW \eclient\einstall
- on the CD.
- .IP 2.
- Double-click
- .CW setup.exe
- in that directory.
- It will display a new window that prompts for a destination directory.
- The directory need not exist but if it does, it should be empty.
- The default should be
- .CW C:\eVNClient .
- You can change the name if required (eg, because
- .CW C:
- lacks space), but
- you will then need to edit several files, as discussed below,
- and make appropriate changes to the instructions below.
- Hit the
- .SM ENTER
- key to start installation.
- The program will prompt for permission to create the directory if it does not already exist.
- It will then populate it with all files required by the client.
- .IP 3.
- Move in Explorer to the directory
- .CW C:\eVNClient\egrid\eslave .
- Check that the file
- .CW schedaddr
- contains the right address for your scheduler machine.
- If you changed the drive letter, you must also change the
- four
- .CW .bat
- files in the directory to replace the
- .CW C:
- drive letter by the one you used.
- .IP 4.
- You can now add the grid client as a Windows service by running the appropriate
- .CW .bat
- file on the client.
- Use
- .RS
- .IP
- \f5install_service.bat\fP
- for Windows 2000 and Windows XP
- .IP \fIOR\fP
- \f5install_service_nt4.bat\fP
- for Windows NT4
- .LP
- Just double-clicking in Explorer on the chosen name should install the service.
- .RE
- .LP
- Once installed as a service the client software will start automatically when
- the client machine next boots.
- You can start it manually using the Windows Services Manager in the usual way.
- There are two
- .CW .bat
- files to remove the service (when desired): \f5remove_service.bat\fP
- for 2000/XP and \f5remove_service_nt4.bat\fP for NT4.
- .LP
- The manual page
- .I scheduler-intro (1)
- in the PDF file
- .CW \escheduler.pdf
- on the CD gives more details on running and configuring the client software.
- The manual page
- .I scheduler-monitor (1)
- in the same PDF file describes the use of the Client Monitor software.
- .LP
- On Windows machines you can remove the directory
- .CW C:\eVNClient\eLinux
- to reduce the space required on Windows clients.
- .NH 1
- Server software
- .LP
- The grid server software will be installed on Linux (Redhat 8 or 9), in the directory
- .CW /grid/inferno ,
- which should either not exist or be empty.
- .LP
- Linux will usually mount the CD at
- .CW /mnt/cdrom .
- .IP 1.
- In a shell (`New Terminal') window, type the following command:
- .P1
- sh /mnt/cdrom/server/install/Linux-grid-386.sh
- .P2
- Assuming it has permission to do so, it will populate
- .CW /grid/inferno
- with the Inferno distribution, including the grid scheduler components.
- .IP 2.
- The file
- .CW /mnt/cdrom/server/install/gridsched.sh
- contains a Bourne shell script that can be copied to an appropriate
- place on your system, or used as the basis for one of your own,
- to simplify starting the scheduler.
- In particular it sets the right bin directory in
- .CW PATH
- to find Inferno's
- .I emu ,
- and starts
- .I emu
- with the right parameters to find the
- .CW /grid/inferno
- directory and start the scheduler in the right environment.
- .LP
- Now check that
- .CW /grid/inferno/grid/master/config
- contains the right network address for your scheduler.
- The manual pages
- .I scheduler-intro (1)
- and
- .I scheduler (1)
- in
- .CW scheduler.pdf
- on the CD give more details on invoking the scheduler in
- different ways.
