Download and Install/Update Software on the CSM Management Server |
Download Latest Version of CSM
Installed version: $rpmVersions{'csm.server'} |
Get the most recent update of CSM software from the CSM Service site. Store
it in $tmpdir on the management server. You may want to do this by running your browser from the CSM mgmt
svr, so the CSM tarball gets downloaded directly to that machine. |
Installed version: $rpmVersions{'autoupdate'} |
This open source package is needed for the Software Maintenance System
(SMS) part of CSM that distributes updated RPMs to the nodes in the cluster.
It is also used by this page to download/install other pkgs. Currently,
the autoupdate package cannot be shipped with CSM, so it must be downloaded
separately. If you have trouble with the button, download it manually and store in in $tmpreqsdir on the management server and install it. |
Distro:
RPMs: |
This button only works for non-enterprise versions of RedHat. This
step is optional, but you may be prompted to insert the distro CDs if the
required RPMs are not already on your management server. Inserting the CDs
could be difficult to do if you are remote from the management server.
This button will store these RPMs in $tmpdistrodir (unless you change the Distro field). The required software is listed
in the Required non-IBM Software section of the CSM Planning and Installation
Guide. If you leave the RPMs field blank this list of required software will be used.
(Currently, this button only works for RedHat.) |
|
Extract from tarballs and then install or update the CSM software on the management server. |
|
Install a license key and accept the license agreement. This button
is not implemented yet. If this is the 1st time you are installing
CSM on this machine, you will have to run "csmconfig -L <file>". |
Download and Install/Update Optional Software on the CSM Management Server |
Installed version: $rpmVersions{'csm.ect.web'} |
Download and install a newer version of this CSM web browser interface,
if available. This requires autoupdate, which can be downloaded &
installed above. Note: currently this only works if you have access to the internal IBM
network, because downloading from alphaWorks can't be automated due to
the license acceptance requirement. |
Installed version: $rpmVersions{'webmin'} |
Download the latest version of webmin. This will be placed in $updatedir so that it can be installed on the management server, and then can be
installed on any nodes using updatenode. Alternatively, you can have webmin download/install its new version, but you will have to do this for each machine individually. You
can also have webmin broadcast to find machines on your network that have webmin already installed. |
Download xCSM
Installed version: $rpmVersions{'csm.ect'} |
The ECT (Enhanced Cluster Tools) alphaWorks site provides extras tools
for CSM that are supported on a best effort basis. You can download
xcsm-*.noarch.rpm and/or xcsm.web-*.noarch.rpm (this web interface).
Store it in $tmpdir on the management server. |
|
Install or update the ECT software (xcsm, xcsm.web) from $tmpdir, and webmin from $updatedir. |
Download Software to Prepare for Node Installs |
|
Get xSeries drivers necessary for network installation of nodes. |
|
This button only works for non-enterprise versions of RedHat. Download
updated RedHat RPMs from the RedHat site. They will be placed in
/csminstall/Linux/RedHat/$version/i386/updates for use with updatenode. |
|
Download Updated SuSE RPMs from the SuSE site. They will be placed in /csminstall/Linux/SuSE/$version/i386/updates for use with updatenode. |
Distribute and Install/Update Software on the Nodes |
To install the RPMs on the nodes, go to the main page, select the nodes you want, and click on the Update button. |
