Cluster Kurrola

Installation

Connection

Installing NetworkManager is simple way to get all right for single machine network. I got big supprise when I understood how complex it come to setup STABILE beawulf parallel network to home, you need to setup all network components.

Cluster Kurrola desing targets: get parallel solvers work and wlan services to workstations

To get parallel software like elmerfem and openfoam to work correctly you need full stack ( name services DNS and routing ) of network service and as learnt at practice at twin machine configuration. Twin machine configuration for DHCP ( both ipv4 and ipv6 ), BIND9 ( master and slave ). BIND9 namaserice is needed to have stable routing even connection to global internet breaks. DHCP is used to networkboot and network address managment. To get IPV6 and IPV4 filtered and routed correctly Shoreline and Shoreline6 are simple tool to configure firewall to Linux kernel. You need device level softaware like wvdial to get 4G modem/router to talk whit server routing and brdegeing software as well hostapd to open wlan services. To manage configuration of servers as well workstations webmin is good tool. To get network working well whit software you need common usernamre as well password base to get communication work between machines and services like NFS4 and rsh-redone.

Ubuntu 12.04 have much automation at protocol stack, it finds devices when connected ([udev]) and most cases setups hardware drivers and creates device like eth and ttyUSB. At Cluster Kurrola Installation NetworkManager is totaly removed due instability and some server software incompatibility issues (calibre,mpich3,rsh-redone). What have to do is to glue kernel IPV4 and IPV6 part's together whit devices and give correct parameter's to devices for operation.

BACULA

What to backup:
/etc/bacula - you need configuration
/var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql - you need backup from database

Crete index at MySql database:

   File.PathId
   File.FilenameId
   Job.FileSetId
   Job.ClientId

MYSQL to SSD

Mysql run on two SSD at server mpi1 and mpi2, asyncronouse mode mpi2 as master.

Innodb's can not be copyed palce to another, directory name must be same if so you can copy from system to other. So do mysqldump, setup new storage system and re-install databases.

Setup:

/etc/mysql/my.cnf datadir=<sdd dir>

datadir         = /media/dbs/mysql

/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/mysql

  /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock rw,
  /media/myjohn2/mysql/mysql.sock rw,

/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld

 /media/dbs/mysql/ r,
 /media/dbs/mysql/** rwk,

/etc/passwd

mysql:x:129:139:MySQL Server,,,:/media/dbs/mysql:/bin/false

cd /media/dbs/mysql/
cp -Rp /var/lib/mysql ./
chown -R mysql:mysql /media/dbs/mysql/
/etc/init.d/apparmor restart
stop mysql
start mysql

Dpkg Packages re-install

If lot's debency, md5sum, pacpage not found,...

dpkg --get-selections > mypackages.txt

remove unwanted packages from *.txt so it looks list of packages to reinstall

Download all packages.

download:

#!/bin/bash
filecontent=( `cat $1 `)
echo $1
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
 for t in "${filecontent[@]}"
   do
    apt-get download $t
 done
echo "Download end!"

Use dpkg to install all packages.

install:

#!/bin/bash
filecontent=( `cat $1 `)
echo $1
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
 for t in "${filecontent[@]}"
   do
    dpkg -i $t*.deb
 done
echo "Install end!"

RESTORE whitout DATABASE

bscan -u bacula -n bacula -P bacula73 -s -S -V ST3POOL-0125 /media/KurrolaStorage3

bscan -u bacula -n <DB username> -P <DB password> -s -S -V <backup tape/file> <tabe/file directory>

backup bacula DB's:

 mysqldump -u steve -phuhaa bacula > bacula.sql

 mysqldump -u <DB's user> -p<DB's password> bacula > <backup file name>

HowTo: Repair Ubuntu dpkg status file My Ubuntu 10.04.02 installs starting losing /var/lib/dpkg/status, and you can't update without it... Thanks to capink, but I ended up re-installing anyway so unfortunately losing this file you are near the end of the line.

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-474587.html Using the script below will generate a new status file in your current directory (usually your home dir). Use this file in place of your status file after backing it up:

1. !/bin/bash

get_control_info () { for i in /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages do sed '/Package: '"$1"'$/,/^$/!d' $i done }

for i in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list do package_name=`basename $i | sed 's/.list$//'` get_control_info $package_name >> status-new done

sed -i -e '/^Filename: .*/d' -e '/^MD5sum:/d' -e '/^SHA1:/d' -e '/^SHA256:/d' status-new sed -i '/^Package: /a\Status: install ok installed' status-new
