3. A set of python based XMLRPC scripts were developed for remote communication with
the ricci cluster daemon and can also be obtained from
http://people.redhat.com/~mlamouri/:
• riccicmd – generalized ricci communication, various commands can be supplied
• addnfsexport – update cluster configuration adding NFS client resources
• delnfsexport – update cluster configuration removing NFS client resource:
6.1.2 Prepare the Build-Up Installation
The following procedure was used to create the custom media to install the build-up system.
The customization included configuring a default kickstart for the media and creating a
resources directory containing files to be used in the configuration.
1. Download the released Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 DVD via the RHN home page
• Select Download Software on the left side of the page
• Select the link for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64)
• Select the Binary DVD (Server Core/Cluster/Cluster Storage/Virtualization) link
2. Duplicate the media
a) Create a directory for mounting the media
mkdir -p /pub/projects/cloud/resources/wa/mnt
b) Mount the media
mount -o loop /pub/kits/rhel-server-5.5-x86_64-dvd.iso \
/pub/projects/cloud/resources/wa/mnt
c) Create directory for copying the media
mkdir -p /pub/projects/cloud/resources/wa/r55
d) Copy the expanded media
cd /pub/projects/cloud/resources/wa/mnt; tar -cf - . | \
(cd /pub/projects/cloud/resources/wa/r55; tar -xvpf -)
e) Unmount the original media
umount /pub/projects/cloud/resources/wa/mnt
3. Modify the duplicate tree
a) Create the kickstart file /pub/projects/cloud/resources/wa/r55/ks.cfg that:
• installs and configures the system
• copies the entire media to the installed system
• sets the time and prepare NTP to start
• registers the machine with RHN
• prepares the NFS export of the installation media and customization
• configures iptables (firewall)
• converts the public network to a bridge named cloud0
• disables LRO
• prepares the actions to be performed on next boot
