HOWTO load a CIToolkit vm (virtual machine, rte, runtime environment) on an admin node. 1. Install your rte module, if you haven't already (Make sure it loads on a compute node or two.) 2. Create symlinks in /etc/rc.d/, on the admin node, to the image "rte" script. For example: # cd /etc/rc.d/init.d # ln -s /cluster/machine/rh-6.2-alpha/admin-0/etc/rc.d/init.d/rte . # cd ../rc3.d # ln -s ../init.d/rte S98rte 3. Set the virtual machine for the admin node. # set_vmname --vm gm-1.4 admin-0 4. Change the admin node's hostname to match the database device name, OR, make sure you created the admin node's object name in the database to match the output of "hostname". 5. Start up the rte, same as on a compute node. # /etc/rc.d/init.d/rte start ---------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES: - We might be able to avoid step 4 if the rte script is a little smarter, and does a lookup by hostname if device name fails.
