ice details

  • Sun Fire X4600 M2 Server
  • 8 Dual-Core 2.6GHz Opteron CPU's, 16 CPU Cores in total
  • 32GB DDR2 667MHz RAM
  • Separate queue from merlot's

Installation

  • Service processor MAC Address determined using BIOS (F2 during boot, Advanced->IPMI 2.0 Configuration->Set LAN Configuration->MAC Address)
  • grape: Added MAC address to /etc/dhcpd.conf alongside other SP's:

host starspice { hardware ethernet 0:14:4f:39:f1:4f; fixed-address 192.168.1.124; }

  • grape: Ran /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
  • Logged into Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager SP Web GUI (https://192.168.1.124/), read md.net0 MAC Address, also added to grape's /etc/dhcpd.conf alongside merlot* hosts:

host ice { hardware ethernet 0:14:4f:45:3b:5a; fixed-address 192.168.1.247; }

  • grape: Added lines to /etc/hosts

192.168.1.247 ice
192.168.1.124 starspice

Fedore Core 6

Installation

Partitioning

  • /boot 200MB (Primary, /dev/sda1)
  • / 30000MB (Primary, /dev/sda2)
  • (free space left on /dev/sda, /dev/sdb for the moment)

System time

  • NTP: 192.168.0.40

User Accounts (Create User)

  • Enable NIS: grape-cluster, 192.168.0.40

Firewall

  • Enabled:
    • SSH Permitted

=Extra packages

gcc, etc.

First Login (as root)

  • /etc/hosts:

192.168.1.247 ice

On grape

  • added ice to /etc/hosts
  • added ice to /etc/exports (nfs)

Interesting information

  • CPU frequency changes with load (between 1-2.6 GHz): sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
