During this phase, the software needed to run OSCAR will be installed on the server. In addition, some initial server configuration will be performed.
The following steps must be run within an X windowing environment.
Change directory to the top-level OSCAR directory and start the OSCAR install wizard:
# cd /root/oscar-2.0b1
# ./install_cluster device
In the above command, substitute the device name (e.g., eth1)
in place of device
for your server's private network
ethernet adapter. The script will execute some setup / configuration
setps, including:
A lot of output will be displayed in the console window where you invoked install_cluster. This reflects normal operational output from the various installation commands that OSCAR executes. The output is also saved in the file oscarinstall.log for later reference (particularly if something goes during during the installation).
After the steps listed above have successfully finished, the OSCAR installation wizard GUI will automatically be launched.
The wizard, as shown in Figure 1, is
provided to guide you through the rest of the cluster installation.
To use the wizard, you will complete a series of steps, with each step
being initiated by the pressing of a button on the wizard. Do not go
on to the next step until the instructions say to do so, as there are
times when you may need to complete an action outside of the wizard
before continuing on with the next step. For each step, there is also
a Help
button located directly to the right of the step
button. When pressed, the
Help
button displays a message box
describing the purpose of the step.
As each of the steps are performed, there is output generated that is displayed to the user.
